FOREST AND STREAM. 
SSI 
shown, took the prize over Clarion of Glenrose without any 
difficulty; both were at the Rhode Island show. Gypsey A. 
had a walkover in the bitch class; she looked lusty as usual. 
Fox-Terriers. — These proved the banner classes as far as 
the number of entries went. Grouse II. came out for the 
challenge class and looked in good shape. Open dogs (8) was 
a good class, having several well known representatives. 
Seacroft King eventually won over Lansdowne Poverino, 
scoring in head, though light in body and a bit long cast. 
Poverino was shown light; he has lots of terrier character. 
Lansdowne Triton, reserve, is rather coarse in skull, good 
bone, hut a bit wide in front and down behind; is well ribbed. 
Hillside Royal, vhc , was at the Rhode Island show, and 
Punch, also vhc, is light in muzzle for his skull and short- 
faced; shown a trifle thin, but otherwise a smart little terrier. 
Wordsley Trapper, he, we spoke of two weeks since. In 
bitches (4) first rightly went to Lansdowne Trim, rather 
light in bone and leggy, nice head, ears a little large, and 
should be stronger -in pasterns; otherwise good in front. 
Seacroft Empress is better in eye and ears, but loses in body. 
Refusal, vhc, a cobby sort, is faulty in hocks and is short- 
faced aud thick in head, good bone and front. Lansdowne 
Divinity, he, stands a little wide in front. In puppies (7) 
Seacroft Duke, a rather leggy sort, won over Wawasset 
Baron; both are fairly good in front though Baron's toes 
should be closer, but I liked the latter's head best, and he is 
nearer to the ground besides being cleaner in shoulders and 
neck. The others were not up to much; big and coarse in 
head, most of them. 
Wire-Hairs.— This time Mister Great Snap disposed of 
his old opponent, Brittle Beaut; Snap was looking much im- 
proved over his Toronto form; Beaut's head is better and he 
was better shown. In bitches a rather weak-faced one in 
Mistress Betsy won, alone. 
Collies. — Here again the absence of the Seminole entries 
played havoc with the classes. The Squire, Metchley Sur- 
prise, Gold Dust, Curzon, Ormskirk Gypsey Maid, Cora Belle 
of Nesseldo-vn, two in e^ch class, refused their engagements 
and the solitary representative was Daisy, who, though 
short of coat, shows intense quality, has a sweet head well 
shaped, but would not throw her ears; she also took the 
puppy prize. 
Bulldogs. — Just a few to show there is such a breed. 
Romance had no competitor in the challenge class in Addis- 
combe Gypsey's absence. The Yale mascot, Handsome 
Dan, came out once more and proved a mascot all to him- 
self, for he was unopposed. In bitches Derby May, whose 
charms were commented upon in our Rhode Island show re- 
port, also walked over for her ribbon. 
Bull-Terriers.— There were the same old faces that have 
faced the judge so often they could show themselves. At- 
traction beat Starlight for the challenge prize, the younger 
bitch is cleaner in the head and cheek, but none can down 
the old matron in front; she was shown too fleshy. In open 
dogs it seemed a near go between Topsparkle and Admiral 
Mello, the latter has the best front, though tod wide, and is 
rather long cast, body and eye are in the winner's favor. 
American Gully, vhc, is a patched son of Gully the Great, a 
fine big dog, but rather round in head and cheeky, but of 
good length, good body, but a bit wide and heavy in shoul- 
ders. Billy Plummer was absent. In the bitch class the 
well known Edgewood Topsy had no difficulty in scoring 
over the neat looking Lansdowne Thelma, whose faulty 
quarters, feet and rather dished muzzle are against her; she 
loses in rib, to. 
Skte Terriers (4) were all absent. 
Black and Tan Terriers.— Broomfield Sultan, one of the 
most consistent campaigners and in himself a refutation of 
the popular idea that a black and tan must be kept in a 
bandbox to show up fit, scored unopposed, another challenge 
prize. A smart little bitch in Othella won alone in bitches; 
she is a little light yet throughout, but nicely marked, and 
has quite a good head. 
Toy terrier and Yorkshire terrier classes did not fill. 
PUGS. — Seminole Kennels had Attraction here and their 
only representative; he looked better than at Providence. 
Just a fair bitch in Topsy won in bitches. 
Dachshunds. — An old acquaintance, Jessie Victoria, filled 
the challenge role, but was shown a little above herself. In 
the dog class two came forward, Feldmau and Erdmann, a 
red and a black and tan; both are out at elbow, and it is a 
close thing between them, but Feldmann scores in quality, 
shape of head and stern; neither seemed loose enough in 
skin. In bitches (3) one appeared, Erline, a black and tan, 
a nice little sort, well shown. 
Irish Terriers. — The challenge class brought out Brick- 
bat, Jr., and Galtus, and barring his size, the former won all 
over, so much better in front and head. In open dogs but 
one came forward, Ned. a big, coarse headed dog with fair 
coat and front. In bitches Hilltop Surprise, in good coat, 
and, though scarcely racily enough built, easily won from 
Gessela II., better front and body and coat. 
Scottish Terriers.— Open dogs had one entry, Duncan, is 
too fine in muzzle, has bat ears, and is a little long cast, nice 
coat. Merry Call and Burton Bitters was the order in 
bitches. The latter loses only in head, too short and weak. 
She afterward took the puppy prize. 
The only toy spaniel, Young Royal, was absent. 
Poodles. — Thewell-known Paris filled the challenge class, 
and in the open class Leo and Ithel, repeatedly before the 
public lately, were the only entries. French poodle classes 
did not fill. 
Italiak Greyhounds.— Spring, the old campaigner whose 
hardiness would shock those Italian greyhound fanciers, 
who pack their pets in cotton wool when the frost comes, 
was the only representative and won. 
Drayman, the basset, was also shown and won unopposed. 
To show the absurd classification at this show, this breed 
had four classes provided, nearly as many classes as we have 
ever seen dogs at a show. 
MISCELLANEOUS.— This was divided by sex, but no numbers 
were given them, probably late entries. Frank, a rough 
terrier that is too small for an Airedale and too big for a 
Welsh terrier, but with characteristics leaning to the latter, 
was given first in dogs. In bitches the Bedlington Blue 
Belle beat the Airedale Vixen.whose weak face was her worst 
point. 
B. F. Lewis took the handler's prize with 50 dogs, and W. 
S. Turner the second prize with about half that number.

POINTS AND FLUSHES. 
[By a Staff Correspondent.] 
The Endurance of Pointers. 
It is commonly believed that pointers can not endure cold 
weather, or at least that they suffer greatly from it and that 
often it injures their health. But Mr. Thos. Johnson assures 
me that his pointers withstand the rigors of the Manitoba 
winters quite as well as his setters do. They will lie down in 
the snow and rest without any apparent discomfort. A warm 
room is not to their liking after they get habituated to a life 
in the kennel. They have neat, comfortable buildings in 
which they can seek shelter when so minded, but they seem 
to eujoy more a life in the open air and snow. 
Mr. Johnson, to illustrate this point, mentioned a peculiar 
instance in respect to a pointer dog which was stolen and 
"which was taken to the resorts of the market fishermen on 
one of the great lakes north of Winnipeg. The fishing is an 
established industry. The fish are caught through the ire 
and are drawn to the shore on sledges which aTe pulled by 
dogs. Into that laborious life the pointer was forced. His 
daily task was a twelve-mile trip to the shore, drawing 
thereto a heavy sledge-load of fish, and then a return trip to 
the fishing camp. Fortunately, when visiting the fishermen, 
a friend of the owner recognized the dog among the many 
employed. The owner had little trouble in gaining posses- 
sion after learning of his dog's whereabouts. Afterward, the 
more comfortable quarters of home had no attraction for the 
pointer. He had become so habituated to outdoor life and 
so inured to the coldness of winter that he slept in the snow 
from choice and showed no signs of discomfort from it. He 
had acquired the hardiness of the Esquimaux dog, which 
suffers most where there is warmth. 
In reference to Esquimaux dogs, those visitors who saw 
the team of dogs, mounted specimens, in the Manitoba Exhi- 
bit, at the Columbian Exposition, will feel keen regret, as 
will all lovers of the dog, on learning that the team, owned 
by the Hudson Bay Company, was killed and mounted for 
the sole purpose of an exhibit at the World's Fair. 
It was taken out of actual service in the far North and 
driven to Winnipeg to be killed and mounted, truly a sad 
ending to a useful life, an ill requital for gratuitous labor 
done through its working years. The importance and 
purposes of the Manitoba exhibit were not such as require 
the slaughter of those dogs. There was nothing to justify 
such a cruel act. The purpose could quite as well have been 
subserved by drawings or models. Had a private individual 
killed four or five dogs^ for the sole purpose of making an 
exhibit, there might then have been heard the voice of cen- 
sure. 
Sledges in Winnipeg. 
In Winnipeg all kinds of dogs are used for sledging pur- 
poses, by the boys. The messenger boys in particular, are 
experts jn managing their dogs as draft animals. Standing 
on their sledges they are drawn at much faster speed by 
their dogs than they could go unassisted. When trained 
those dogs are guided with ease and they will stand or lie 
down in front of house or office till their master returns 
from within. In summer the messenger boys use bicycles, 
so that between the wheels and the dogs the service is quicker 
and better than it is on this side of the line. The matter of 
pedigree or looks of the dogs are valueless in sledging 
Mr. J. B. Stoddard informs me that the breeding of Tick 
Boy was erroneously given by me as Duke of Kent ex Bloom, 
in the report of the Manitoba trials. It should have been 
King of Keut ex Bloom. The dog is a very superior per- 
former, and therefore it is his due to give his pedigree cor- 
rect. Under date of Sept. 28 Mr. Stoddard wrote that the 
weather in Manitoba was cold and birds wild, and that he 
would soon return to the States. 
B. Waters. 
We understand that, according to Mr. Joachim's opinion, 
the Rhode Island show winner in beagles, Ringleader, that 
Mr. Mortimer brought over with Robino, is by far the best 
of the two. In this case Mr. Mortimer has the best yet. If 
Robino is not taken in hand at once by his new owner, the 
question as to which is the best will be easily solved. 
DOG CHAT, 
Trfe A. K. C, and Its Members. 
If kennel clubs or other associations affiliate with the 
A. K. O, it is supposed that they do so with a full under- 
standing of the pains and penalties which they are liable to 
incur if they do not adhere to the rules of that body. When 
a club takes this step it assumes responsibilities that lay it 
open to criticism if these responsibilities are shirked. The 
time is past when one may blink the i«sue and with a shrug 
of the shoulders say, "Oh, well, they don't kuow any better; 
we won't be hard on them." The rules, whether good or 
bad, are plain and must be adhered to, or the occasion for 
their existence is wiped out. The Danbury Fair show people, 
if they have not studied these rules, should be compelled to 
do so. One of them, a very important one, says that every 
dog must be the bona fide, property of the person making 
such entry at the time of closing of entries, and that every 
dog must be either listed or registered. A perusal of the 
catalogue of this show will point out some derelicts in 
both these requirements. This indiscriminate entering of 
dogs in the names of persons who do not own the dogs 
should be looked into by the A. K. O, which body, however, 
seems to overlook this part of its duty. We do not want 
finicky quibbling and absurd disqualification of owners for 
a slip' of the pen, but some degree of accuracy should be 
maintained in giving the right owner's name. In Rule II. it 
says, "Exhibitors must abide by any errors made in entering 
their dogs." Another A. K. C. rule says that a challenge 
class entry must specify on the entry blank a sufficient 
number of first prize winnings to entitle it to compete in such 
class until such time as it has won in a challenge class, after 
which one challenge win shall be sufficient. This was not 
done at Danbury in any one case. The receiving of entries 
after published date of closing we have alluded to elsewhere. 
Another rule refers to puppies, which must not be entered 
either for exhibition or competition under six months of age. 
This rule was violated in several instances, and one puppy 
was shown for competition under the prescribed age. We 
simply draw attention to these lapses with a view of urging 
the A. K. C. to keep its proteges in proper order, whoever 
they may be. 
Forest and Stream, in common with other journals, re- 
ceived Dr. Thurber's letter on "Ideal Foxhounds," but as 
the letter has already appeared in print, and certain portions 
of ic are rather personal, we publish merely the meat of it 
and the part which does most credit to the sense and patriot- 
ism of our worthy friend. This is as follows: "There always 
was aud always will be more or less discord after a judge 
has given his decision; yet a man seldom shows a dog under 
a judge whom he does not consider competent. The mere 
fact that Commodore was never before beaten does not, ac- 
cording to A. K. C. rules, exempt him from defeat, especially 
when off of Southern soil, and beyond the jurisdiction of 
the judge from Old Kentucky, forthereare still as good dogs 
of air breeds in old New England as the world ever knew. It 
is not my intention to attempt to expatiate upon the merits 
of my own stock or to depreciate others. If anybody desires 
to know why Mr. Fellows considers Elite the superior of 
Commodore, I presume Mr. Fellows has good and sufficient 
reasons of his own to give. In conclusion I will say to all 
admirers of the Southern type of foxhound, who may feel 
chagrined at the turn events have taken, that perhaps the 
following old, yet truthful saying, may comfort them, 'The 
pitcher that goes too often to the well shall be broken in the 
end.'— Dr. H. T. Thtjrber." 
In these days of progression and vast increase in what may 
be termed expert cynology, the columns devoted to kennel 
departments are apt to be tilled continually with the news of 
the day in canine circles and other mutter pertaining to the 
"fancy." The inner life of the dog is too often lost sight of 
and those who could, like Mr. Whitehead, afford us many 
pleasant moments in reading accouuts of the doings, and, 
shall we write, sayings of these canine companions, no doubt 
think that such stories would not be appreciated. This is a 
mistake. We kuow that the dog's intellectual qualities are 
allowed to lie dormant by many breeders in the race for field 
and bench show honors, still the fact remains that there is a 
side of the dog's character that is too little considered by the 
ordinary dog owner. We trust that the charming "Tale of a 
Smart Dog" will be followed by many others of a similar 
character, not only to afford interesting reading matter, but 
also to induce others to look deeper into the companionable 
qualities of the animal which is known as man's best friend. 
Doubtless it has been the experience of many dog owners to 
have met with dogs who displayed intelligence equal to 
Bug's, but few have had the discernment or patience to 
educate their natural intelligence in a like manner. The 
lack of the sense of speech on the part of the dog should not 
be a deterring influence in this direction but rather the con 
trai - y, for in a language of its own the dog, to an attentive 
master, is well able to convey his thoughts by the tone of his 
bark. An intelligent dog aud a dumb human being are not 
so far apart as some people imagine, and numerous instances 
could be related that would bear out Mr. Whitehead's con- 
tentions that dogs are endowed with reason. There are fools 
among dogs as among men, but the smart dogs only require 
intelligent education to bring out results that are simply 
astonishing merely because we look upon all dumb animals 
as inferior. 
Last week we published a portrait of the noted Skye ter- 
rier Old Burgundy, and this week it is our painful duty to 
chronicle his death. Mrs. E. M. Williams, his owner, was 
simply wrapped up in the dog, and lovers of a good dog. 
whatever be its breed, will sympathize with this lady and 
her husband in their loss, Apart from his intrinsic value, 
which, as one of the very best of his breed, was naturally 
considerable, the fancy has lost a dog that would have 
proved a very interesting figure at our shows and would 
nave won the highest honors. Two weeks since yesterday 
he was as lively as ever, and on Saturday was taken sud- 
denly ill, which made Mrs. Williams fear that he had been 
poisoned. A vet. was sent for who pronounced the trouble 
as a slight attack of peritonitis, but stated that the dog was 
in no danger. Toward Sunday he grew weaker, gasping for 
breath, and in the afternoon he died. The vet. now tinds 
that a clot of blood on his heart was the cause of death. 
Mrs. Williams has fortunately several puppies by Old Bur- 
gundy, and some promise to be very like the old dog, but 
naturally none can take his place in the affections of his fair 
owner. 
The owner of the Chestnut Hill Kennels sends us two 
charming pictures of his collie Christopher "at home." 
They show the old dog in beautiful coat shaking hands with 
a curly-headed two-year-old youngster. The scene reminds 
us of the well-known picture, "Can't You Talk?" and it 
shall grace the columns of Forest asd Stream before long. 
Mr. Jarrett has had several tempting offers for the white 
collie Silver King, that won at Pittsburgh. He is well bred, 
for he is by Golddust out of a bitch by The Squire, and was 
bought with three others when two months old. 
Mr. Loveland tells us that the N. E. K. C. will not inau- 
gurate their whippet racing in any half-hearted manner. 
They propoae to offer at least §100 in prizes, and no entry fee 
will be charged. Entries will close Oct. 25. Circulars will 
shortly be issued giving fuller information as to prizes, etc.
