March 2, 1895. FOREST AND STREAM. - 173 
Songster, a large specimen, had a walk over in the open dog 
class. The challenge for American hounds had three entries, 
Bowsprit, first, Commodore, second, and Hanger II., the 
reserve, Four faced the judge in the open dog class. Duke, 
first, is good in legs, feet, body, neck and head, but is short in 
leather. Clay, second, has a plain head and is light in bone. 
Zack, third, is a good average in quality. There were 4 
bitches, Flirt, first, is quite a good all round bitch. Second 
went to a small bitch, Glenwood Bell, light iu bone. Sunmaid, 
third, is long cast, flat iu ribs yet good iu hound character. 
The reserve, Mt. Vernon Fly, is rather coarse. B. Waters. 
BASSET HOUNDS (James Taylor, Judge). -Four very fair 
specimens were shown, that is for this country, where little 
attention is paid to the breed. The winner was Royal Hector, 
who beats Turk, second, in head, chest and slightly in body and 
lowness to ground; the well-known Drayman was third, there 
is little to choose between them, a httle more quality perhaps is 
desirable; Roeky was reserve, another fair dog, but higher on 
the leg. 
DACHSHUNDS (James Taylor, Judge).— There was a little 
mix up heie in the judging. The Woodwiss dogs from England 
arrived just iu time to compete, and were placed in proper 
order, but afterwards it was said that, a protest had been filed 
on account of late arrival, but who entered it or any particu- 
lars in regard to it could not be ascertained beyond the fact 
that after the prizes were taken from them, the W. K. C. 
awarded extra prizes according to their standing in the classes. 
If a protest was filed it was not a very sportsmanlike action, as 
the delay was not avoidable, and after coming across the 
ocean the dogs should have been allowed any honors they could 
win. In challenge dogs Jay beat Don Quixote II., which he 
can do in head and front. Janet bad to lower her colors to 
Jargonelle, from the same kennel in the corresponding class; 
the latter excels a little in muzzle, length of body, but not in 
quality and texture of coat and skin. Open dogs was a large 
class for New York (16). First went to the English dog, King 
Sol, a long fine headed one, with good, long body, excellent 
crook, one of the best seen here; Tack, second, or rather first, 
when the record was finally adjusted is rather coarse in com- 
parison; Pedro a promising youngster, was second to Tack or 
third, really; with Leviathan, third, a nice, long headed one, 
with good length of body, but faulty in legs aud feet, should be 
firmer in pasterns; Wamba, vhc, is a trifle coarse in head, but 
good body, legs and crook; Pretzel is going off in head, thicken- 
ing in skull, but still is well made from there back. In bitches 
the liver, tan and white Princetta took the blue, a well formed 
bitch, with good chest, deep and low set, and plenty of loose 
skin, the winner in her class at tbe N. E. B. C. trials last fall; 
Weasel, a very appropriate name, came second, a bitch of good 
length and loin; E. S. Woodiwiss' Widgeon aud Dinah Belle were 
given extra first and second and Jane Austen, reserve; they 
are all of nice hound stamp, show lots of quality and could they 
remain in this country, would help the breed. Pedro won in 
puppies. This short criticism does not represent the entry by 
any means, but a number of them were of the terrier or Ger- 
man type, and the judge passed them without a mention, at 
which there was considerable outcry, still he was consistent and 
followed his own type. For the Manice Dachshund Cup, 
Princetta scored, followed by her kennel mate, Pedro v the 
winner last year being left to congratulate only. Mr. Wood- 
iwiss took the kennel prize. • 
BEAGLES (Jos. Lewis, Judge).— As usual there was a good 
gathering, both of the "merrie lytic hounde," and its owners. 
In challenge dogs the old champion had to give way to the more 
agile Sherry, who, while losing in head somewhat and m car- 
r age of brush scores in front and bind action; Royal Kruger 
did not face the music but was benched. In bitches, Lonely, 
cleaner neck and front and more jaunty carriage, sufficed to 
beat our old favorite, Elf. In dogs over 13 inches, a class of 
ten turned out and the Providence winner again proved his 
merit and was in much better shape; second to Furrier, rather 
coarse in head should have a little more rib, but good on his 
pins and in carriage of stern; Lee III., third, is a good bodied 
dog, but a little plain in muzzle. In tbe bitch pack, Daisy 
Corbett proved' the wiuuer, well-known as a good one if a little 
shorter in body; Oracle beat her last year, and it is just a toss 
up between them; Popsey, third, is too full and round in skull 
and her stop is too deep. Emelihe II. is a well built bitch with 
unexcelled muzzle and skull and should have done better; vhc. 
went to Minnie L., whose muzzle is faulty and is too full in 
skull, but a nicely built little hound in other parts. Dogs 
under 13 inches proved a walk in for Razzle aud Little Wonder, 
often described in these columns; the latter - has the best head 
of the two, but is not so good in bone and frout; Laick's Roy, 
while a little faulty in head is well put together behind the ear, 
and shows some type and quality; Laddie, the Holder, is best in 
body and expression; Young Royal, vhc, is too full aud broad 
in skull. In bitches a whole color headed one in Lonely II. won 
from two better headed bitches in Evangeline and Dazzle, but 
is well off in body, bone and legs; both the others are well 
known; Kitty Clover, reserve, is too long faced and a trifle 
thick in shoulders; Spider, vnc is very much too full in eye, 
which spoils her expression, a nice one otherwise. A nice pup 
in Alice won in the next class, a Uttle long cast, perhaps, but 
will fill out; she'also took tbe novice prize and the field trialer= 
were headed by Frank Forest, the little sweet morsel of hound 
flesn Ava W., coming next. Hornell-Harmony took the prize 
for best four, but I must say the Rockland lot was a more 
level one. 
FOX TERRIERS (R. F. Mayhew, Judge).— Of course we 
always expect to see tbe best at this show, but there was lack- 
ing a good deal of the interest that absorbed our attention at 
the late Terrier show. In the first place, Mr. Thayer's kennel 
was absent and that did not seem right somehow, and then the 
Rutherford and Blemton Kennels seemed to scoop up every- 
thing. Challenge smooth dogs had four— Blemton Victor II., 
the winner, Warren Safeguard, Ripon Stormer and Blemton 
Rasper. The feature of tbe class was Ripon Stormer's vast 
improvement; it is several years since he looked so well, as hard 
as nails and though a trifle thick in neck and shoulder, still 
bore little likeness to his late form, Safeguard seems to be 
thickening a little, but Gentleman Victor appears as clean as 
ever, and ;behaves like the veriest puppy on the bench, he cer- 
tainly is a wonderful terrier. Warren Captious had her class 
to herself and looked very well. Old Raflle, just ten years old, 
shows age but can still hold a few of the rising generation. 
Open dogs (13), was a smart lot, and Blemton Stickler came to 
the front once more, a trifle more back rib would suit him, 
should be stronger iu'pasterns and carry his ears better, in other 
respects he keeps himself in good form; Warren Daybreak, sec- 
ond, is also well-known, and improving on.bis^Providence form. 
Beverwyck Royalists is thickening a bit in head and neck, but 
is a well built terrier all over with lots of style;- Warren Cap- 
tor, fourth, is a bit coarse in head, but good in front, body and 
coat, Raby Rival, reserve, is one of tbe English dogs, fairly 
good in head and front, a little light in body a nice headed 
youngster is Sentinel, vhc. In bitches (12), first went to War- 
ren Capture, a good headed one with clean front; second to 
Cowthorpe Jem, a trifle full iu skull, but clean and straight in 
front, shoulders nicely set and good body and coat, Warren 
Sentence, third, another daughter of Safeguard's, needs time in 
body, but capital head and front; Richmond Victory, fourth, is 
a nice topped one with excellent coat, ears sboula be carried 
closer; Richmond Pearl, reserve, shows an excelleut front, and 
fairly good head if stop was less defined; a nice, stylish bitch is 
Ray of Light, skull and front should bo narrower, good legs 
but coat rather soft. Dudley Nettle, has a good front, nice 
small ear, but is rather plain in head. The puppies as a whole 
were not very promising, and W arren Daybreak and Sentence 
were the principal winners in dogs. In bitches, Warren Capt- 
ure and Sentence and Leaflet took tbe honors, all from tbe 
Rutherford Kennels; a nice style of youngster in Mere Juliesta 
showed what Ripon Stormer 'can do; should^be stronger in 
muzzle. Novice awards principally followed the puppies order. 
In wire hairs the Hill Hurst Ktnuels pulled off most of the 
ribbons. Challenge dogs saw Cribbage and Oakleigh Bruiser 
placed in the order named, both looked very well, and Surrey 
Janet was alone in her class and never looked better though a 
trifle out of coat. A rattling good terreir came forward in 
Endcliffe Banker, just over from England. He seemed to stand 
out a bit in front, but has a capital clean head and ears should 
lie closer, aud coat fairly stiff; Marden, second, a trifle long 
perhaps, but if capital in front with a good long head and 
right wire coat, he ran the other more than close; Yale Tramp 
should be shorter in body, but will do in other respects; White 
Topper is much improved and was well shown, skull is his 
worst point. Mister Great Snap, a dog of excellent coat and 
character, must have pushed the others close, Dark Eye, should 
be longer in head, but was better shown than before; Brittle 
Beaut, loses in muzzle to a good one. Hill Hurst Trick is im- 
proving, has a capital head and is making up nicely iu body. 
The well-known Bushey Bramble won in bitches and looked 
better than at Providence; Brittany, second, is good in front, 
ears well carried, but skull should be flatter; Brittanic is faulty 
in body but head well shaped aud in coat is just fair; Hill Hurst 
Brunette should have more rib, a shorter body, but is well 
formed in other respects; Roath Rennie, a nice sort, might be 
narrower in skull. A good headed pup is Endcliffe Brisk, who won 
in dog pups with H. H. Trick, secoud. The bitch class was not 
so good, first gioing to Butterflies, and second to H. H. Bud. 
Endcliffe Banker, and Marden. repeated their open victories in 
the novice class. Mister Great Snap won well in hand in the 
sweepstakes for wires born previous to Jan. 1, 1894, and the 
building was too small for his owner' while Hill Hurst Trick 
added a well deserved laurel to the H. H. Kennels by his win in 
the class for those born after Jan. L 1894, followed by his 
kennel mate, Piquet. The Rutherford Kennel took the smooth 
prize, and Hill Hurst Kennels that for wnes and Blemton 
Victor II. redeemed his laurels lost last year to Cribbage, by 
winning tho grand challenge cup. Which'will stay the longest? 
IRISH TERRIERS (James Taylor, Judge).— The " dare 
devil" brigade made a capital display, several imported dogs 
and the best of the home talent being in keen competition, 
besides several good youngsters that made their debut. Jacka- 
napes, Jack Briggs and Boxer IV., was the order in challenge 
class dogs; "Jack" was short of coat. In bitches, Phiumerry, 
getting gray, but holding her form in rare style, scored over 
Candor in front, ear carriage and coat, as shown. Judy was 
outclassed here. In open dogs, Brian O. 'K., a good, colored 
game sort, neat all round, with plenty of character, excellent 
in front, and good coat, aud nicely carried button ears, won 
well, but Briggs' Best, when filled out in body will push the 
best; one of the best home bred ones seen out; Marton Shamrock 
looked well, but is inclined to coarseness. So is his Honor, 
.reserve; Shamus is not true in color; Fenian Boy and Brick 
Bat, Bruiser and Briggs Bar, None the puppies, deserved their 
cards The bitch class scarcely proved so good. Deramore 
Biddy was the winner, excellent in ear carriage, a little shorter 
in pasterns and she will do, a bitch of good style and coat; 
Brickbat Brickie is a little full iu skull yet, good coat, but ears 
have not come to their proper hang yet, a promising sort; 
Milton Droleen, third, was short of coat and patchy in color, but 
a very promising terrier, standing on good fore legs and feet and 
bead is of correct, shape. Most of the puppy winners were in 
the open and tbe same may be said of the novices, showing 
that their owners knew what they were doing to put up teu 
dollars on each. Toon aud Thomas won the kennel prize. 
BLACK AND TAN TERRIERS (James Taylor, Judge).— 
The best v e have were ou the benches, but the old cracks are 
going off somewhat, aud there seems nothing to take then- 
places. In challenge dogs, Broomfield Sultan just scored over 
the rather leggy Glenwood, getting it in head and quality a 
bit and color; though Glenwood beats in pasterns and bone. 
Four matrons came forward in the next class and Ch. Meers- 
brook Maiden, gone off somewbat, had to succumb to Ch. 
Gypsey Girl from the same kennel. Broomfield Madge and 
Queen III. have both gone off considerably, especially tbe 
latter, who has gone quite gray, and wide in front. Open dogs 
were a poor lot, Chicago Spider winning, a fairly marked one, 
with the best head and front: Rochelle Rush is dark in mark- 
ings; Sully has bad ears and mixed tan, good in body and coat; 
Rochelle Master, reserve, is very dark in markings. Surrey 
Gem was the winner in bitches, very nice markings, well 
shown, but a bit pinched in muzzle; Gypsey Queen, second, is a 
little too full in eye, thumb marks run iu, rich head tan; 
Chicago Maiden, third, has good legs and body, but stop too 
defined, ears clumsy and uucropxied; Canada Queen Uas gone off 
in head. 
WHITE ENGLISH TERRIERS (James Taylor, Judge).— 
There was really nothing startling here. Eyes and skulls 
wrong and not clean and long enough in heads. 
DANDIE DINMONT TERRIERS (James Taylor, Judge).— 
Mr. Ed. BrrooKs, in his love for this breed, shows all the game- 
ness of the terrier he fancies, and it is a matter for regret that 
the breed is not more considered — gamer, better t-rriers do not 
live. With two exceptions, Mr. Brooks supplied all the entries. 
In challenge class they were placed right at last, Amphion 
getting his deserts and he was well shown. We have always 
contended that he is the best Dandie on the bench; King of the 
Heather, second, and Amistey .Daisy, reserve, both close to the 
winner in head, coat aud body. Unfortunately the young stock 
shown in the open classes does not come up to the parents. 
Heather Deacon, in dogs, scores over Rhoderick Dnu, in head, 
especially in muzzle. In bitches, Lothian Judy, just over from 
the other side, won nicely though a little weak and short in 
muzzle, good length and coat. Heather Daffodil, second, 
should be better in bone and front, has a better bead than H. 
Darling, but that is no great compliment. 
BEDLINGTON TERRIERS (James Taylor, Judge).— Really 
there was nothing firsl>class on the benches. We want stronger 
heads, a bigger type of dog and the correct texture of coat is 
very rarely found. In challenge class, Mount Vernon Tibbie 
scored, but in head only, for while of good size, her loinu is 
too flat and coat soft, besides she was not in condition; Qui 
Vive, while losing in head somewhat, scores in outline ansl 
coat; Chemist loses in muzzle, but has the best and most dis- 
tinctive texture of coat, which should f«wl at the same time 
both crisp and soft, if such cau be understood. In open dogs, 
The Professor won from Financier, tbe former scoring in head, 
front, top knot anl ears; Postmaster has a rather good head, 
with nice top knot, but he is soft in coat. Beechgrove Blue 
Nell, scored once more in the ladies' division, but she showed no 
tips and is soft in coat; Endcliffe W asp has a better coat, and a 
nice head, if flatter in skull; Polly Work worth is faulty in the 
muzzle and skull, and was short of coat. Financier won in 
pups, followed by Beauvisage and Yauticaw, who should be 
better in bone, fairly good iu coats and will doubtless improve 
yet, 
SCOTTISH TERRIERS (James Taylor, Judge).— One of the 
grandest displays ever seen in New Yoi-lc, but not superior to 
that at the Terrier Show last fall, where practically the same 
dogs were exhibited. The ball opened witn challenge dogs, in 
which Kilroy, looking more like himself, scored over Tree and 
Rhudaman, an upset for the talent, but not more than tbe 
owners expected when the winner is in proper shape. Culbean 
again defeated Dankie Diana. Iu open dogs Bellingham Bailiff 
turned the tables on Wantrie Tarn, both have good, long keen 
heads, but the former scores in front and that only; Bailiff has 
improved in body, especially in loin; third to the new dog, Kils- 
tree, whose rather nice head, excellent front and fair coat, 
deserved the attention; Dumbarton, reserve, is too large in ear; 
Wankie Dandie loses in muzzle, scarcely strong enough. The 
others, most of them well-known, deserved their cards. In 
bitches, Zembra, Vorda and Wankie Janet, took the money— 
all from the Wankie Kennels; the winner is rather coarse in 
head; Ranee, reserve, is also coarse headed and was shown fat; 
Cluthar, Wankie Daisy and Wankie Cambria have been out 
before and deserve their cards, and so did Newcastle Rona, for 
her nice head, should be harder in coat. In American bred 
dogs, Waukie Tarn won well in hand, and Wankie Janet, Diana 
and Miss Ted divided the money for their sex. They have all 
been described at past shows. Dunbarton was the best dog 
pup, and a nice one Highlanda Fling scored in bitches with 
out trouble. Wankie Kennels took tbe kennel prize. m 
SKYE TERRIERS (James Taylor, Judge).— There was 
nothing new in this breed, the old winners. Sir Thomas and 
Barnaby Rudge and Elphinstone being placed as named, and 
all looked well; Queen of Skyes and Endcliffe Maggie fought 
their troubles over again, the latter losing in head and body, 
but both are very good. Rhoderic Dhu had the open dog class 
to himself, and Wheel of Fortune was out of luck to run second 
to Princess Mary, whom she beats very much in head, coat and 
style. Whippets had no entries, strange to say. 
YORKSHIRE TERRIERS (James Taylor, Judge). — A 
capital entry, but the quality was not up to the standard, 
though in many exhibits better than our shows have seen 
lately. Minnie York, light in tan and body color, was alone in 
challenge class. Open dogs saw Bradford Rejected take the 
blue, a nice coated, correctly colored little dog; just arrived, 
Harboro Swell II., has a very nice coat and is clean in tan; 
Prince loses in these attributes; Toots must have been over- 
looked, one of the best, though light in tan. Pride of New 
York won in bitches, a good colored one, in profuse coat, and 
Duchess is not much inferior; Nell loses in coloring. The others 
were chiefly faulty in clearness of tan and body color, though 
generally in good coat. 
The toys were the usual sort. 
PUGS (Miss A. H. Whitney, Judge). — For some unaccount- 
able reason this breed fell off alarmingly. There was really 
not a good one to be seen. Pomona Fritz, the winning dog, 
being the best, and he is mixed in color aud long faced. 
POODLES (James Taylor, Judge). —A high class of poodles 
was shown, but if we are to have classes for cur lies let them 
be curlies and not brushed out corded dogs, with soft fluffy 
coats like the average Maltese kitten. Lion was alone in 
corded challenge class, and was nicely shown. In the corre- 
sponding curly class Diamand's colors were^lowered by Rajab, 
but I think that though beaten in head, Diamond is so much 
more symmetrical and is better formed in quarters and set on 
stern. Two stylish Parisians came forward in bitches, Ch. 
Chloe getting the verdict over Vivette, the latter losing in 
muzzle,, but was; beautifully shown. In open cordeds Tell I. is 
an old face, a trifle cloddy, but^.nice length of cords. Lady 
Marquise should be stronger in muzzle, was shown too fleshy, 
nice cords; Flora I. is snipy in muzzle, Czar has the longest 
cords, but was too fat. In open curly dogs (black), Emperor, 
Mr. Trevor's new dog importation, scored nicely, crisp in curl, 
he is every inch a caniche, a sprightly, well formed chap; his 
kennel mate, Caesar, is a trifle woolly in coat, and not so good 
in hind legs; Carnot, another from this kennel, was in his right 
place; faulty behind; Carlos, reserve, is a trifle long in coat. 
These were all owned by Mr. Trevor. In the female division, 
Josephine, a^little light in loin and stern rather low set on, 
but excellent in formation otherwise, and well curled, won 
nicely from Leah, who, perhaps, excels in head, especially in 
muzzle, coa.t and symmetry; Coquette II. was third, a trifle 
woolly in coat. In other than blacks, Mrs, Benedict scored 
with Zip and Marron, but we scarcely saw how it was done, for 
neither they nor Patsy were real curlies, just woolly coated dog 
brushed out; first should have fallen to Poobah, who is really 
what the class calls for, and was the only correct one in the lot. 
In bitches, the Hill Hurst Kennels redeemed themselves with 
H. H. Dinah and Posey as winners, both are too well-known 
to occupy more space. If these were good enough to win, then 
Poobah's placing was dead wrong. Yum Yum is faulty benind, 
drops away too much. Some promising puppies were shown but 
more attention must be paid to coats. Leah was the best 
youngster, winning in puppy and novice classes. 
BULL DOGS (John H. Matthews, Judge),— As the judge has 
promised to publish some notes on these classes, together with 
his opinion of the club's efforts, our notes on this breed will be 
limited. His Lordship, well shown, beat King Lud once more, 
and afterward took tbe special for best in show, when he con- 
tended with King Orry and others, while the King excels m 
some essential points, considering taking the two all round the 
decision was correct. Old Saleni scored once more over Graven 
Image. In open dogs King Orry won well in hand, his greatest 
claims to recognition are depth of foreface, breadth of under 
jaw, ears, length of skull, chest and swing of elbow; he is a bit 
on the leg and body and eye could be better, iu color he is 
white and black, with either tan or light brindle on chops and 
cheek. Handsome Dan, neat dog as he is, should scarcely beat 
Sheriff, whose head is so superior, but the latter has not been 
well of late, aud could have carried five pounds more of flesh 
but was well shown; his down ear is also against him; Rustic 
Sovereign is plain. A great lot of bitches came forward and 
White Venn repeated last year's victory followed by Katisba 
third going to Hucknal Gypsy, a very nice headed bitch, shown 
very fit. a b'tt e more out of elbow would improve her- she 
should have had second, I thought; Queen, reserve, is a Dudley, 
but well formed; Miss Venn was third last year, a good headed 
brindle. In light weights first went to Damon, good in muzzle 
and wrinkle, but would be better with a little more depth of 
stop; the neat headed Nugget came second, and Baron Killar- 
ney, third, good skull, a little deeper in muzzle, and more broken 
up. Captaiu B's. ears should be carried better. In bitches 
Mr. Austen's Princess Venn won nicely, her face' 1 would be bet- 
ter if more broken up, aud she is a little slack in back. Juno 
If. needs more breaking up, and loose skin, but is a very good 
sort. Some very fair pups were exhibited, and in novice dogs 
King Orry and Sheriff filled first and second places; in bitches' 
Huckuall Gypsy and Primrose (formerly Princess Nan), that 
was at Providence, took tbe money. Woodlawn Park Kennels 
deservedly won tbe kennel prize. 
BULL TERRIERS (James Taylor, Judge).— A capital lot, 
both in entries aud quality. The breeders are producing home 
dogs that can more than hold their own, and the j udge must 
have been surprised to meet such a collection after the sparsely 
filled classes he finds in England. Carney, a little above himself 
was beaten by Cardona, who was very fit, and afterward beat 
Duke of Rochester for tbe special, winning in tront and behind 
tbe shoulder; ;,Duke getting a little bossy there. In bitches a 
grand class came forward, but the decision that placed Ed^e- 
wood Tipsey first can scarcely be endorsed, either Castle's Kit 
irom the same kennel, or Attraction, might have had the ver- 
dict. Although the former was a trifle fat. In many open 
dogs, Duke of Rochester won well in hand from Diamond 
King, who, though be keeps himself well, loses in eye and 
front; Topsparkle, well known, came third, he loses m front 
and head to a real good one; W hite King, reserve, has a short 
cheeky head; Jack the Great, vhc, is coarse in head and light 
of eye; Count of Oaks should also be darker in eye and flatter 
in ciieeks; Gully Boy has an excellent dark, small eye, and 
g ? 0( Y? e u d ' bu ^ needs time to furnish yet; Greenhill NunthOrpe 
should have been near the top of the tree, his head is good 
though getting a little cheeky, and snoulder might be better 
but he is a grand terrier all over. Frank Dole made up for this 
disappointment by winning first and second in the bitch class, 
with ' Edge woods Flossie and Trilby— good heads, excellent in 
eye- the winner is ticked in body, it is close between them- 
third to Bonnie Kate a little long cast; reserve to the well- 
known Maggie Cline. Light weight dogs was a hot class, 
Rookery Boy winning, but his light eye, short face and rather- 
coarse head, could not entitle him to honors over Little Flyer or 
Tarquin, the former has a much better head and front losing 
perhaps a trifle in ribs; Tarquin was third, good eye,'skull I
