FOREST AND STREAM. 
March 16, 1895. 
quality, flatness of coat and is a very promising ten-months 
old youngster. Adam is plain in muzzle and was not well- 
shown. Old Boy is too coarse in head, but excellent in body, 
ribs and front. Cora IX, won in black bitches, a little long in 
face but nice body; second going to Miss Mae, a little pinched 
in muzzle, but head is well-shaped otherwise. Nelly S., 
reserve, stands rather wide in front and her muzzle should be 
squarer, in other parts she will do. St. jjawrence Novel, vhc, 
is rather long-bodied and was not very well shown; Violet also 
vhc, is a puppy I could not find, she had gone home. In any 
other color, open dogs, first went to Lorraine, a trifle long, 
good in front, with a very square muzzle, Red Justice, second, 
is too full in brow and badly undershot. Brantford Snap was 
absent. In the corresponding bitch class, the New York win- 
ner was again at the head of the class, beating the well-known 
Tonita, though I like the latter's head better, especially in skull 
and expression, and she is truer in front. Reserve to Mrs. 
Bow Wow, a very pretty- headed one, that shows a good deal of 
quality; Bed Bose was absent. In the local class, first went to 
Willie Silk, second to Miss Mae, and third to Nellie S., previ- 
ously mentioned. Andrew Laidlaw took the. kennel prize, and 
Willie Silk ten of the local Bickpania specials, which included 
matter for material comfort in the way of ginger ale, Banner 
cigars, Pickpauia cigars, traveling clocks, and a bottle ot per- 
fume to ease the troubled nerves. It was too bad! Irish 
Water spaniels provided us with the same old faces; absence 
of curl being, as usual, conspicuous. 
COLLIES (James Mortimer, Judge). — While the quality was 
not up to the niark of last year, nor the entry so large, the 
presence of tbe Woodlawn K_ennels served to show the good 
people of Detroit what collies should be like. No challenge 
entries In the open class, dogs, the grandly-coated Woodman - 
sterne Trefoil won well; he never looked in better shape and 
probably at present carries the best coat of any dog on the 
oench, it being true in texture, of great length and very dense. 
Here is where his kennel mate, Woodlawn Trefoil, loses to him 
and also in carriage of ears and head and ribs. Canadian 
Monarch reserve, has a rather plain face but carries his ears 
■well and is well oft* for coat. Bmsbury Hero, a wide-fronted 
dog with a dense coat, was given three letters and so was Hemp- 
stead Chief, who is rather coarse-headed and shows too much 
stop. The others deserved their letters. The New York win- 
ner, Woodlawn Sunset, repeated her victory here, followed by 
her kennel maiie Flora May II., and the only advantage the 
atter has over the winner is in shape and carriage of ear, but 
her head is plain in comparison. Ormskirk Susie, reserve, 
should be flatter in skull, is nicely-coated with plenty of under- 
coat, in fact has the best coat of either of the two bitches. The 
quality behind these was some distance away, Nora getting 
reserve, but her stop is too prominent and her ears are not small 
enough. 
BOODLES. — None were shown, a sad falling off from last 
year. 
BULLDOGS (James Mortimer. Judge).— There were seven 
entries, and as the Woodlawn Kennels tilled the classes, there 
s no need for extended description, all of them having occu- 
pied winning positions at the New York show. They do not 
show the effects of travel .under Mr. Robinson's careful manipu- 
lation. King Orry took the special for the best in the show. 
BULL TERRIERS (James Mortimer, Judge).— Though the 
entry in each class was small the quality of the dogs was what 
we like to see. Cordona and Ch. Attraction supplied the chal- 
enge entries, and looked none the worse for their New York 
experience. In open dogs, Prince Gully, an attractive looking 
terrier with capital eye, easily disposed of Billy Plimmer, 
whose eyes are too prominent, is weak in muzzle, and more on 
the English terrier type; Bassett, vhc, is a rather plain-headed 
sort; skull too round. Greenhill Nunthrope was absent. Edge- 
wood Matchless and Trilby were brought together here and the 
lightweight marked bitch scored; longer and cleaner in head 
and has a most correct eye in size and placement, with beauti- 
iully cropped ears. Frank F. Dole won the kennei piize. 
DACHSHUNDS (John Davidson, Judge).— Quite an interest- 
ing lot of these dogs, but type was very diversified. _ In open 
dogs, a new importation f rom Germany, Reinecke's Fick, took 
first; a rather plain-headed dog of terrier type, with a short 
body, judging on the other style; his kennel mate, Dreadnaught, 
came next, and he scores over the other in head and length, but 
stands out at elbow and therefore is not so good in front. 
Blethyosaurus, is the longest bodied dog in the lot, but is of 
different type, and has gone coarse in head. Prince, another 
coarse-headed one, was given three letters. Buck was not 
shown. In bitches, first went to a rather faulty-headed one in 
Hexe Von Venlo, but behind that she is excellent, and espec- 
ially so in body and arch of loin; Kutschka II. Reinecke. sec- 
ond, has plenty of loose skin, is on the terrier type, with short 
head and ear, but throws her elbows out too much; Demuth 
Reinecke, reserve, is a little dish-faced, good length of body, 
but skin should ba more pliable. Hexe Von "Venlo took the 
special. 
BEAGLES (John Davidson, Judge).— Quite a nice lot of the 
little hounds and the bulk of entries were from home kennels. 
In challenge dogs, Doctor P., rather long-faced, was followed 
by Adam, who is also faulty in muzzle and loses in body to the 
winner. Joe and Paderewski were left out of it, though the 
latter should have stood a good chance for second. Old June 
M., supplied the winner unopposed in challenge bitches, and 
ooked very well. Open dogs had four entries, and there was 
nothing to touch Ringleader, who was well shown; second going 
to his coarser-headed kennel mate, Raffler, and reserve to Dan 
J., a coarse- coated dog, full in eye and light in muzzle, but 
with a good body. The bitch class of nine proved to be a good 
one, first going to Kitty Clover, a well-built bitch if she were 
shorter in body; Fancy M., second, is well known, too long in 
head. Belle of Westchester, reserve, I have often written 
about; should be deepor in body. Jenny Lind, vhc, carries a 
good body and coat, a nice skull, buti3 atrifle pinched inmuzzle; 
she might have done better'. Music is correct in type -a sweet- 
headed bitch of the old sort. Flight deserved more than he, 
as she is quite a typical bitch if stronger in muzzle. 
FOX TERRIERS (James Mortimer, Judge).— Few compara- 
tively, but choice in quality. Warren Safeguard and Warren 
Captious supplied the challenge winners. Warren Tip Top, a 
frequent winner, added one mors to his score in open dogs; 
followed by his younger kennel mate, Warren Salesman, a 
rather coarse- fronted sorb. Black Rock, reserve, I thought 
decidedly lucky, and must, I suppose, credit his position to the 
size and leggiaess of the much better-headed and fronted 
terriers, Ruoy Rival, vhc, and Raby Truefit, ho. In bitches a 
capital lot came forward and Richmond Victory, rather flat 
faced, beat her kennel mate Cowthorpe Gem in carriage of ears 
but not in head, and was herself beaten in cleanness of 
shoulder; Richmond Pearl, reserve, though a trifle loug cast, 
has as good a head as any, good punishing muzzle, and terrier 
eye and expression. Tae local class winner was my Lady 
Starden; a poor, short-faced, thick-skulled terrier, but good in 
forelegs and body; Eskdale Punch, a coarse-headed wire, was 
second, and Yondotega, third, can merely boast of good, 
straight forelegs. In open wire dogs Endcliffe Brisk, the New 
York puppy, scored in head from Mister Great Snap, well 
known; reserve going to the latter's rival, Brittle Beaut; 
Compton Vindex, coarse in head, taking three letters. In the 
corresponding bitch class, Roath Rennie, the Toronto winner, 
was alone, Messrs. Rutherford won the kennel prize easily and 
over Safeguard's Kennel, Douald placed the handsome silver 
cup won outright for the best kennel of fox terriers, they hav- 
ing won last year. 
IRISH TERRIERS (James Mortimer, Judge) —Not very 
many entries but the quality was very even. The open dog 
class contained' suclr'dogs^as 'Jack Briggs, Merle Grady and 
Briggs' Best, placed as named, Merle Grady, though he loses in 
texture of coat to Jack, is better in head and eye; the pun well 
deserved his reserve card. Canadian Ambassador is a little full 
in eye and coat is open and not wiry enough; Galtees, he, was 
outclassed here. In bitches old Ch. Dunmurry felt quite young 
again in the open division, and held her own in great shape; 
second, going to the broken-coated Denmore Biddy, whose nice 
head and ear entitled her to the position, Nora, a clean, long- 
headed youngster, with a big ear, well deserved her reserve 
card, and so did Biiggs' Breeze, unfurnished yet. 
Only one Dandy Dinrnont, Lothian Judge, showed up, and 
that described at New York. 
SKYE TERRIERS (James Mortimer, Judy).— The old 
familiar winners, Endcliffe Maggie, Elphinstone and Barnaby 
Rudge, were placed as named. 
BLACK AND TAN TERRIERS (James Mortimer., Judge.) 
—Several of the best were at New York, Gypsey Girl in Queen 
Ill's present condition somewhat easily defeated what was once 
one of the best bitches on the bench. Open dogs saw a rather 
down-faced, leggy, big dog with good markings, especially on 
legs, win from the shelly, leggy Chicago Spider, who besides is 
dark-faced. In the ladies' division, Gypsey Queen, a nice- 
headed bitch, with faulty leg markings, won from Vrofecta 
Rose, not clean enough in front and with badly carried ears. 
Chicago Maiden, vhc, I described at New York. 
YORKSHIRE TERRIERS (James Mortimer, Judge).— The 
New York wiuiier, Bradford Rejected, scored again without 
any difficulty, but this time downed the well-known Minnie 
York, who, while quite as good in coat is not as correctly 
colored; Brince Harry, he, I shall have a chance to describe at 
Chicago. Toy terriers require no particular mention; of the 
usual apple-headed sort, though Lotta, disqualified for being 
over weight, was immeasurably superior in head, having quite 
a good, long one, a rare feature in these dainty little creatures. 
SCOTCH TERRIERS (James Mortimer, Judge).— Were de- 
cidedly poor. The well-known Colored Breacher being the 
only one with more than ordinary quality; Gienshea in bitches, 
the class being divided, scored over Gypsey Yet, who is far too 
big, but Gienshea is not improving, being' too wide in skull and 
short in muzzle, but good in coat. 
BUGS (James Mortimer, Judge). — Quality was supreme here, 
and probably the entry contained the best dogs of the breed 
that we can show. In challenge class, Haughty Madge, a little 
above herself and in seasoD, won over Drummer, who, good 
little dog that he is, finds his bent leg a detriment when it 
comes to a pinch, and besides he is too dark and not so close in 
color as the bitch. Young Penrice, whom I never saw looking 
better, simply romped away with the blue ribbon in open dogs 
from Al Von, his kennel mate, beatiug him decidedly in muzzle 
and skull, but gaining little in other parts; Finsbury Dude, 
reserve, loses in head and wrinkle. Old Medier can scarcely 
keep up with this company. Hooker won in bitches without 
competition. The "locals" were not of any account, and a 
good look at the other dogs would show the owners the where- 
fore of this remark. 
TOY SPANIELS. — None put in an appearance. 
ITALIAN GREYHOUNDS (John Davidson, Judge).— Spring 
and Sprite again in challenge class. Brince, from the s?me ken- 
nel, ran second to Adonis in open dogs, though very shelly in 
body and too defined in stop; is of nice size; Adonis, small and 
dainty, has a better hea J and body; Tinnie II., was alone in the 
female division, 
MISCELLANEOUS (John Davidson, Judge).— This was 
indeed a mixed lot. In the heavy wieghts first went to the 
good-coated Boxer HI., and second" to a very fair Newfound- 
land, called Sir Edwin Landseer — an appropriate name — for no 
artist or lover of animal ever succeeded in doing greater justice 
to this noble breed. The Clumbers and Bassetts entered m this 
class were absent. In dogs. 30 pounds and under, we were 
introduced to a rough-coated dachshund, probably the first ever 
benched in this country. He looks like a cross between a Welsh 
terrier and a dachshund; Ben Lewis's miscellaneous terrier, 
Frank, and the Bedliugton Endcliffe Wasp, divided the money 
with him, and thus brought the regular classes of a good show 
to a close. H. W. LACY. 
CHICAGO DOG SHOW. 
March 5 to 8- Entries, 896. Dogs Benched, 787 
The sixth annual dog show held by the Mascoutah Kennel 
Club is now a matter of kennel history. Oace more the club 
has scored a distinct success both in the quality of the dogs 
they succeeded in bringing totgetber, and the crowds of people 
who literally swarmed through the aisles, making locomotion a 
difficult matter, especial ly in the evenings. The result, in a 
financial sense, must have been very gratifying to the manage- 
ment. Last week the clerk of the weather was in a most 
genial mood, with the exception of Thursday, which was a 
dull sort of day, he favored us with bright, sunshiny weather. 
Although the Mascoutah Kennel Club has an imposing array 
of officers the whole conduct of the show seemed to fall on the 
shoulders of two men— Mr. W. J. Bryson, the President, who 
does not look upon his office as an ornamental sinecure, but 
one that entalis considerable mental and physical labor in 
attention to the many details of the show's conduct and he 
worked early and late in the club's interests. The other was 
Mr. Walter C. Gunn, who seeemed to assume the duties of a 
secretary, treasurer and general information bureau. Mr. 
Payson, the treasurer, was, we regret to hear, owing to sick- 
ness, compelled to forego his usual work in behalf of the show, 
Geo. H. Hill, the superintendent, was a busy man throughout 
the week and attended to his duties well. Another year we 
would suggest that more attention be paid to the cleanliness of 
the rings, tne sawdust should be removed daily, for in a low- 
roofed building like Battery D, where the facilities for ventila- 
tion are not all that could be desired, it is more necessary to be 
careful in regard to the disinfecting and the general cleanliness 
of the show. This is, however, no fault of the club's. The 
arrangement of benching, as usual, under Spratts Co. 's super- 
vision, was an improvement on that of last year; the bulk of 
the classes were benched in the Second Regiment building, 
while Battery D contained the judging rings and most of the 
larger dogs. There were six judging rings, but as several of 
these were unoccupied at times during the judging hours, the 
same space might well have been devoted to four rings, and 
this arrangement would have given the judges more room to 
move the dogs in, some of the classes being very crowded. 
Judging was not concluded until Wednesday evening, 
though the greater part of the regular awards were made on 
the first day. The attendance in the evenings was simply 
astonishing— people standing outside in lines that reached well 
down the next block, while carriages blocked the streets for 
some distance. 4 . 
Spratts Co. attended to the commissariat with "Capt." Mur- 
phy as head cook; the benching and other interests relating, 
were in charge of Mr. E. M. Oldham who seems to have 
grasped the new situation with the experience of a veteran; and 
Mr. Adouis Ehrmann, as usual, drove a good business at the old 
stand. The catalogue was very well arranged, and tastefully 
gotten up. A marked catalogue was issued on Thursday morn- 
ing which was very accurate. 
MASTIFFS (A. Trickott, Judge).— There is always a strong 
class of this grand old breed at Chicago shows, and if there 
could be said to be an exception this year it was on the side of 
even a more meritorious exhibit. For this we are indebted to 
the efforts of Mr. Bunn, the Beoria breeder, who, by careful 
mating and a great love for the breed, has succeeded in getting 
together a kennel that is second to none in America, and which 
if taken to England and shown in the condition in which he 
placed his dogs on the bench last week, would surely bring him 
further honors. In challenge dogs, ELkson, looking remark- 
ably well, scored alone, while Siualoa has by her win in the 
corresponding class qualified for a champion. A grand class 
came forward in open doers and that good, all round dog, 
Brince Cola, had to lower his colors to Marquis, who excels in 
expression, markings and depth of chest, both are good in head 
but of different types; Ealdermanu, a very plain-headed dog, 
in comparison, took third, he should be better in stop, muzzld 
and ears and further examination of the latter prompts us in 
no way to retract what we have already said on the question 
either as to size or placing; Leamington, fourth, 1 prefer as a 
mastiff, both in make and shape ot head, coloring and ears, 
although his are too large and clumsily set on, a little more rib 
would improve him; Beaufort's Boy, is some distance behind 
these, though fairly good in head, he lacks substance; Alarm, 
vhc, is a rather plain-bodied dog, but with a head that denotes 
good breeding. In bitches, the grandly improved Rowena met 
a worthy competitor in Minnie Beautort, the Detroit winner, 
who loses only in size, body and carriage of ears and 1 like 
Rowena's lovely expression, now so rarely seen in these ultra 
short-faced mastiffs, though her eyes should be darker. Cerene 
made a fair third— a good skulled bitch, not in the best of 
form; Minnie Minting, an old winner from the same kennel, I 
like better in shape of head, but she is not so good behind; 
Ripplette, took the reserve card, she was at Detroit; Morse's 
Juno, vhc, is pinched in muzzle. There were no dog puppies, 
but a fair result of the union between the two open class win- 
ners, Hegira, won in bitches, and she will now go to J apan to 
gladden the heart of the Mikado. In novices Leamington and 
Rossington took the money, tbe latter a short-faced dog not 
level enough in mouth, something on the Ilford Caution order- 
the medal for third went to Beaufoit's Boy. C. F* Bunn had 
a fast hold on the kennePprize, and most of. the specials not con- 
fined to Cook county. The classes were well judged. 
ST. BERNARDS (R. J. Sawyer, Judge).— Taking the quality 
all through there was little if any improvement on last year. 
There were many entries, but the good ones were easily separ- 
ated. Sir Bevidere, who is putting on flesh all the time, and 
looking particularly well just at pr esent, and as lively as a two 
year old, shared with his Deautiful kennel mate, Rustic Beauty, 
challenge honors in separate classes. A class of twenty-mne 
came forward in open rough dogs, but the judge soon made 
room by bowing out all but tour or five. Le Brince turned the 
tables on his Detroit victor, American Caesar, but in the 
former's present condition I see no reason to alter my opinion 
expressed last week; third to Safford, a handsomely marked 
dog, whose quality and general all round makeup are diffi- 
cult to get away from; he deserved his place; not so Major F., 
a plain, long black-faced dog, with red, marble like lumps 
sticking out of the tear corner of each eye; his face is flat but 
deep, good body, but coat should be flatter, and he is straight 
behind. There were others more typical. Reserve went to 
Gen. U. S. Grant, an excellently fronted dog, with a fail- head 
that should be deeper in stop; a little short-bodied sort is 
Victor Roloson, with a fair head. Prince Wyatt is another 
with a very fair head, turns his feet out and body should be 
longer; Brince Nedep's well-shaped head in spite of the absence 
of white, entitled him to his letters. The rest of the mentioned 
ones will never demand more attention. Another large class 
of twenty- three, that filled the ring, came out in bitches, and 
La Brincess was easily slated for first— she is improving all the 
time; the well-known Alta Berna took second, losing in size, 
depth of head, rib and length; third to Baroness Streatham, a 
long flat-faced, short-bodied bitch, that droops in quarters, 
too; Jessie W., fourth, is another too long-headed and narrow, 
lacking in quality, but good in bone and legs; coat not flat 
enough ; Aristocratine, reserve, loses to a good one in head, a 
nice colored bitch; a light colored one isArline, was vhc, she 
should be deeper in stop and Carry her ears closer; Artilla in 
the same division, good-oodied bitch that she is, and superior 
in head to some of those placed over her, especially in depth, 
was hardly treated, as she is a good mover; thiid should have 
been her position. A capital young dog is Duke Wadsworth, 
the winning dog pup, who shows lots of quality; another bis; 
one is Marko II., an unformed, rangy dog, that should make 
up well. The bitches were not up to promising form; heads- 
being poor. Victoria II. is a very nice fronted bitch, with the 
best head, though too straight in stop. In novice roughs, 
though Major F won, followed by Victor Roloson, both men- 
tioned above, 1 liked Mascot Imperial's good head, or Artilla or 
Patrick quite as well; Artilla must have been forgotten to get 
only c in such company. In challenge smooth dogs the three 
brothers, Melrose, Alton II. and Lawrence Garza, were placed 
as named, Melrose's head is superior to Alton's, but he is not so 
good behind that, but gains more again in forelegs; Garza is a 
pocket edition of the other two. The big, lengthy, good-headed 
smooth, Piatt's Belle, was alone in the corresponding class. 
Lord Milton had his revenge this time in seeing his Detroit 
victor, St. Augustine, turned down to he, while he Went to the 
top of the class; Batrieian deserved his red ribbon for his 
excellent front and fair head; he should be better in ribs, and 
more quality would improve him; Clovis, third, beats him ill 
quality, head and only loses in size, color and carriage of stern 
and hind legs; Lord Keeper, fourth, is a fair bodied dog, but 
not a worthy son of a worthy sire; Illinois Bontiff is a short, 
hght-bodied sort of dog, but deserved his reserve; St. Augustine 
met with unkindness in gettiug he A polite request to with- 
draw from the competition on the score ot poor flesh or a 
proper recognition of his merits as the best St. Bernard in the 
class should have been his lot. In smooth bitches, Judith's 
Rachel, won. She shows too much coat for a smooth, is rather 
plain in head, though well-shaped enough, stands on good legs; 
Marie Stuart, second, has a rather long, narrow head and is 
rather shelly in body; third to Brincess Rosa, a light boned 
bitch, straight behind, and rather houndy-headed ; Lady 
Keeper II., J did not.see; Sabah, reserve, shows some quality, 
but her head is too flat and body color white. The long, 
narrow headed Sir Nero W., was first in dog pups, and Mole- 
skin, that was at Detroit, was the winning bitch, in novice 
smooths, Judith's Rachel rightly won, but Clovis' good head 
and quality should serve to beat the plain-headed Marie Stuart 
for second place. The Argyle Kennels had a field day among 
the specials devoted to open competition. While Mr. Sawyer 
judged well on the whole, he was scarcely consistent enough in 
his type. 
BLOODHOUNDS (John Davidson, Judge).— Mar jorie was 
absent, and thus the Detroit winners, Buccaneer and Vigilant 
were the only entries in their resjjective classes. 
GREAT DANES (G. Muss-Arnolt, Judge),— While there 
were lota of dogs entered, then* type was very mixed and it 
was not difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff, which 
the j udge succeeded in doing with dispatch. Major McKiuley, 
looking still very lusty and moving poorly behind, having been 
cut on both feet, took the challeuge dog ribbon. There was no 
corresponding bitch entry. A mixed lot of twenty came out 
in open dogs, but Osceola Voltaire was quickly slated for first, 
rather shelly in body, still a light briudle of correct type, head 
long and clean cut, one foot turns in slightly and he should be 
stronger behind the withers and a little more bent in hocks; 
second to Beau Brummell, a rather coarse headed dog, with 
great bone, but a bit clumsy; Leo Waldemar, third, is a dark 
brindle, faulty in hind action and coarse in stern; King Wil- 
liam, fourth, is of a type nearer to the winner, and is good in 
body, and especially so in hind parts; his head is a little short, 
and muzzle should be stronger; Fritz, reserve, is a coarse- 
headed blue dog, with little character; Anderson's Sandor, well* 
known, deserved his letters. In bitches a round dozen came 
out and the blue went to Osceola Neverzell, a bitch of excel-
