FOREST AND STREAM. 
213 
lent type, shown a little thin; long, clean head and true expres- 
sion; second to Victoria Spot, a rather coarse-coated bitch — a 
good harlequin with well-shaped head, and plenty of sub- 
stance, should make a rare brood bitch; Ella,, third, is a neat 
sort, should be stronger in muzzle and cleaner in shoulders; 
nice style and action; Lady Spot, nice, clean head if a trifle 
stronger before the eye was fourth, reserve going to Madge, 
who boasts a very fair head. The others were plain. With 
twenty-one pups in the small ring, the judge must have had 
a bad quarter of an hour. They should have been divided. 
Osceola Day was eventually picked out as the winner, and he is 
a very pretty dog, of good clean cut, "terrier" type; Lady 
Floyd and Osceola Bey getting equal second, though I prefer 
the latter as being very like her dam. Neverzell. There were 
few in the novice class and Lady Spot was the best. 
NEWFOUNDLANDS (John Davidson, Judge) —The sexes 
competed together. Sir Edwin Landseer, noticed last week, 
won nicely from Fuldo; Flora, a daughter of his, getting 
reserve, thougn she beats her "daddy" in type. 
RUSSIAN WOLFHOUNDS (John Davidson, Judge).— The 
same lot of "Russians" came forward as at Detroit. Argoss 
and Princess Irma in challenge classes and Ataman IV. correctly 
first in open dogs; Trojan won this time over Czar, who is 
beaten in front and coat by the other. In bitches Olga IV. 
again beat tne short coated black and white bitch Riga. 
DEERHOUNDS (John Davidson, Judge).— A larger entry 
than seen on the circuit so far, though only six here. In open 
dogs Strebor, a short-bodied dog in fair coat, drooping at 
quarters, but with a fair head, won over Rob, who loses in 
coat, bone and body. In bitches Ghost and Pert ha won first 
and second, the latter excelling in head, coat and body, but 
neither are really good, and Madge, third, has not carried out 
her early promise. 
GREYHOUNDS (John Davidson, Judge).— The local element 
met hot company in the visitors. Ch. Gem of the Season had 
matters to himself m challenge dogs, while in bitches Ch. 
Southern Beauty, Bestvvood Daisy and Wild Rose occupied 
their Detroit positions. In open clogs Southern Rhymes and 
Spring O' the Valley were again first and second for reasons 
stated. Robert the Devil is faulty behind, stands back on his 
pasterns and should be better ribbed up; Fear Naught, reserve, 
who won the Kenrnore Derby last year, is a well built dog, 
ribs nicely sprung, good bone and front aud might well have 
been third, and I like Dallas for the place in preference to 
Robert. In bitches, Southern Gay Girl, that was at Detroit, 
took first this time, second going to Idle wild, who should be 
more sprung in barrel and deeper; third to Pansy, a rather 
plain sort, flat in rib, faulty in tail; the well-known Chips took 
the. reserve ribbon, faulty at both ends. 
FOXHOUNDS (John Davidson. Judge). —There was not 
such a good entry as at last year's show, when Mr. Williams 
made so pretty a showing, still there were a few good ones. In 
challenge dogs the old winner Bowsprit was alone. In open 
American dogs the order of winning was Big Strive aud Buck- 
shot, the Kentucky houud winning in rib, body, coat, head, 
shoulders and brush. Pearl Strive, another Kentucky hound, 
won over Gleuwood Belle in bitches, in bone, and quarters, 
losing in head, body and front. In English hounds the winner, 
Songster, is a rare sort, one of the best of the type on the 
bench, Villager, second, is just about the most American type 
of hound shown, long in body and light comparatively through- 
out. 
POINTERS (B. F. Seitnor, Judge).— It reminded one of old 
times to see this well-known pointer breeder once more taking 
an active part in the ring, and he seemed to acquit himself of 
his work in good form. In challenge heavyweight dogs, Moul- 
ton Banner scored; anl with Woolton Game absent in the cor- 
responding class Josie Brackett's win was also a bloodless 
visctory. In lightweight challenge dogs which were judged 
next, Rldgeview Tenny, well put down, while losiug a little in 
muzzle, scored over Arthur in rib and bone and style; Wild 
Lily failed to keep her engagement, so Miss B,umor, losing flesh 
a little, won without effort. In open heavy dogs the well- 
known Lord .Bracken, a fairly well made dog all round, a bit 
throaty and heavy iu shoulders, good bone, legs and feet, 
scored first over Hempstead Prince, the Detroit winner, but 
only in head; Dick, third, I would like better if cleaner in front 
and better shaped in head, and his ears are not correctly car- 
ried; Ridgeview Regent, fourth, was at Detroit and in style 
and quality and head can beat Dick; Lad of Beaufort, reserve, 
is throaty, wide in skull, and too much cut out before the eye; 
Brush of Hessen, vhc., is rather short in body; King Bang is a 
good headed sort but leggy and shelly in body. Beppo's Girl 
was the only bitch to fulfill her engagement a capital headed 
one, but feet and pasterns could be improved. The well-known 
Chancellor Avon in lightweight open dogs, followed by the 
equally familiar Ridgeview Comet, thus reversing their De- 
troit positions but Comet gets it really in head, front and hind 
parts; Rent's Priam, third, is rather plain iu muzzle — a smart, 
merry little mover that deserved his position; Col. Kent is 
rather flat sided, faulty in ears and stop too abrupt. In 
bitches, Marguerite Kent, described in Detroit report, scored 
first over Trinket's Nell, a plain-headed bitch that droops in 
quarters; Lady Reveller, third, I much preferred, on account of 
her superior type of head, better body and hind parts, though 
she may lose slightly in front; May Bang, fourth, is heavy in 
shoulders and has a mean, short muzzle. Rene, reserve, has a 
stary eye, and is light in loin; Fannie Kirk is heavy in 
shoulders; Daisy Kent has a plain short muzzle. Mr. Gould 
took the kennel prize. 
ENGLISH SETTERS (W. B. Wells, Jndge).— Mr. Wells, 
while sticking to type, thought more of make and shape for the 
field, and he missed one or two good ones. Challenge dogs saw 
the old rivals, Glendou and Cactus reverse their positions; it is 
always a near thing between them. In bitches Ch. Albert's 
Nellie was absent so Victress Llewellin, looking better than 
ever, won as she pleased. Open dogs (16) had Dan O' Light for 
a winner, though fortunate I thought, as he is plain in muzzle, 
not square enough, and droops slightly in quarters, otherwise 
well put up; Dash Antonio, second, occupied the same position 
at Detroit and was looking well, barring a lack, of coat; 
Washtenaw Grouse, the long, rather coarse-headed dog was 
third, and fourth fell to Cincinnatus' Pride, who is srort of 
coat, should be better sprung in ribs, good in other respects; 
Count Beaufort, reserve, is a well put up dog, a little coarse in 
skull, but a good mover; Wordsley Dude, a well-known winner, 
though shown on the heavy side, should have had something 
good. In bitches (11) two absent, first weutto Bly, a trifle fine 
in muzzle and short in body, well t irned barrel, good legs and 
feet; second to Countess Antonio, a nice sized bitch, showing 
lots of quality, a little stronger in muzzle and she will do; Sue 
II., third, is a nice-headed one, should he truer iu forelegs, and 
be better sprung in ribs; Miss Shattuc a rather coarse-skulled 
bitch, was fourth; reserve to Katio Wells, faulty iu head but 
good on her pins. Furuess Maid was not even mentioned, 
though better than most of those described and Maid Marion 
seems to have been overlooked entirely; oue of the best iu the 
lot The kennel prize did not fill. 
IRISH SETTERS (John Davidson, Judge).— The same old 
faces were among the principal winners. Ch. Kildare beat 
Finglas in challenge dogs — two dogs very different in type and 
Kildare Gleumore might well have taken reserve; Pride of 
Patsey and Blarney, Jr., are either of them more typical Irish 
setters. In bitches the sweet-headed Queen Vic won rightlj' 
with Bessie Finniore, reserve, same placing as before. Noma 
and Bessie Glenmore were also in the class. In open dogs the 
Datroit winner, Bob, Jr., won again, second going to Lord 
Elcho, Jr., a dog with a very typical head and good" color, but 
not so good in body as the winner; Chief Red Cloud, third, is a 
rather nice-headed dog if stop were more defined, is of good 
color, but ribs should be better sprung; Winnebago Jap, fourth, 
is a rather coarse-headed dog, but well-shaped; Patsey 's Pride, 
reserve, is rather broad in skull, and has a plain, weak muzzle. 
Lady May Swiveller again proved the winner in bitches; the 
good-headed Nona was second and third went to Pride's 
Heather, a bitch of nice type who well deserved her position- 
Bonnie Belle, fourth, is an excellently well-ribbed bitch, rather 
plain in head, being pinched and weak in muzzle, and was 
shown too fat; Pride's Beauty, reserve, has a nice long, clean- 
cut head, though a little too prominent over the eye; Lady 
Florida is a down-faced sort with little type or quality. This 
one was the only pup shown. Oak Grove Kennels took the 
kennel prize. 
GORDON SETTERS (John Davidson, Judge).— Not a very 
good lot outside of several well-known winners. Heather Lad 
and Leo B. occupied then- accustomed positions in challenge 
dogs, while in bitches Highland Yola and Princess were placed 
as at Detroit. In open dogs (8) a new face iu Louis S. came to 
the front; a well-marked one, with a fairly good head, well 
shown, and good in legs and body; second to D wight Don, who 
was the Detroit winner and was again followed by Highland 
Kent. Guy, fourth, a rather straight-faced dog was rightly 
placed this time; Sandy, reserve, is not square or deep enough 
in muzzle. Highland Louis would have a good head if skull 
was narrower. D wight Pearl won nicely in the bitch class, 
followed by Maid of Waverlyand Sante Marie, both faulty in 
heads; Ben Lak M., fourth, is more on the Irish setter type of 
head but was well put down. Some very fan- puppies wore 
shown. Dr. Dixon took the kennel prize. 
There was only one English retriever shown, and that a poor 
one, that might have been a Chesapeake in color. 
CHESAPEAKE BAY DOGS (John Davidson, Judge).— 
Only two entered, the winner was October, who excels the 
other. Don Pedro, only in coat. 
SPANIELS (Andrew Laidlaw. Judge).— There was not the 
quality here this year, but the Canadians managed to get a 
good grip on the prize list as usual. Iu challenge class for all 
breeds over 28 pounds, the Irish water spaniel Marguerite 
scored, m solitude. In open black field spaniel dogs, first went 
to a good-headed long dog in Endcliffe Ebony, a trifle high on 
the leg, but a. good sort. Raven and Dark Despair were 
absent. In bitches the well-known Spracklin's Belle won 
nicely ? followed by Dorothy, pinched in muzzle; third to Nelly 
Ray, faulty in front, head and coat. Nonpareil was alone in 
the any other color dogs. There was nothing in the cocker 
division that commanded particular attention this year. In 
challenge dogs Black Duke was content to run for specials only, 
so Pickpania had a walkover. There were no entries iu the cor- 
responding class for bitches but in challenge class for any other 
color Red Roland was alone; he is showing age somewhat. In 
open black dogs four came forward and the winner proved to 
be Governor, a new one; he has a good cocker head, nice front 
and bone, cobby body— a good little stamp all round; Wood- 
land Clipper, well-known, is a little long in body in comparison; 
Adam, third, is plain in muzzle. Woodland Princess won 
agaiu in bitches followed by Woodland Topsy, from the same 
kennel, a trifle long iu head, but well-shaped, nice coat aud body 
and to my taste a proper height from the ground; St. Lawrence 
Princess, third, was better thought of this week than last; re- 
serve to Rosalind, a wavy coated bitch, with a rather coarse 
skull, good body; St. Lawrence Novel vhc, is coarse in head; 
Violet, in the same order, should be flatter over the eyes. In 
racl or liver dogs Red Jocko II., the winner, is a rather nice- 
headed dog, better iu body than Red Robin II.. his kennel mate 
and shorter in head; the well-known lied Justice was third. 
Tae Brant cocker spaniels were to the front again in the next 
class winning with Red Beauty, faulty in eve; Mrs. Bow 
Wow, commented on before, was second, and third fell to 
Queen Bess, a good cobby sort, with a pretty little head, though 
a little too high and round iu skull. In irny other color, tne 
well-known Tonita looking very fit, won nicely from Wood- 
land Bessie, a black and tau with a fair head; St. Lawrence 
Beauty, third, is rather snipy but nicely fronted. The winning 
puppy, Miss Mae, is pinched in muzzle. Queen Bass took 
second. 
Clumbers were nothing to speak of, second being withheld 
and flrst going to Major G., a fair-headed dog not deep enough 
in muzzle; his eyes are well clothed, and he boasts a fair curl, 
gool top knot and ears; Musha, third, is a good coated do°\ 
wnihayery fair head; Willy Reilly, reserve, is plain in head 
with little top knot. Bridget O'Donohue won nicely from 
Nora O'Donohue, the winner is a long-coated bitch with nice 
ears, good strong head, should be more whippy in stern; Nora 
seemed to be blind in one eye, fair coat; the well-known Kitty 
ol Cork looked plain in this company. 
COLLIES (J. A, Long, Judge).— The judge was scarcely so 
nappy- as in former years in some of his decisions. His classes 
were large and the ring small and this probably accounted for 
his miss-ng one or two good ones. In challenge dogs, Sefton 
Hero, in fine shape easily disposed of Roslyn Wilkes, who is 
ageing up, and in bitches Chariton Phyllis with one ear up, was 
evidently careless, having no competition. It is funny no one 
else sees this otherwise grand bitch's faulty hocks and hind 
action. A big class of twenty dogs then came forward and 
Kuftord Ormonde, who was crated in the ring, was taken out 
and the bandages removed. We were inclined to forgive his 
first appearance at New York in a crippled state, but grand dog 
as he uudoubtediy is, it is not fair to his competitors that he 
should still be shown and win on three legs; neither is it a kiud- 
ness to the dog to cart him arouud the countrv in such condi- 
tion, it is assumiug a risk that such a dog should not be 
exposed to. While we concede his merit, the judge should have 
asked for his withdrawal. HeJ won. Nest came Gold Dust, 
who, while improving in head, was not in good coat, aud this 
exposel certain weaknesses in hied parts, therefore he must 
be considered lucky to walk away with the red ribbon; 
Oragston Douglass was another lucky one, his prick ear and 
round hign skull are not offset by his good coat; fourth to 
Woodmausterue Trefoil, who, in his present condition, should 
have been first with Rufford Ormonde counted out, as he is a 
good all round collie in beautiful coat of correct texture; 
Christopher Columbus, reserve, is a dog showing much quality 
though heavy in ears, deserve! his position; Woodlawn Trefoil 
siiould have been placed higher up; Chesterford Hero, he, 
snows lots of quality and deserved his letters though too small- 
sized; Cornelavv is faulty ia ear carriage; Hempstead Chief cer- 
tainly deserved something but was unnoticed, while Curzon, in 
poor shape, was also out iu the cold and how Toronto Wonder, 
an old winner under Mr. Long, should have been passed over 
altogether is unaccountable. ;Auother big class came out in 
bitches and the sweet-headed Lady Gay by Wellesbourne 
Cnai-Ueout of Chesterford Hattie, won as she pleased; she is 
on the small side but carried a capital coat and is very catchy 
at present; second to the pretty blue merle Cragston Blue 
raver, tnis, however, considering her faulty ears aud not very 
good head, must be called a lucky win; Woodlawn Sunset, was 
entitled to the place, if not to first; Blossom, fourth, is short of 
coat, too full in brow, but ears beautifully carried. Minuet, 
reserve, has a full round skull, and ears are not correctly 
carried; the sweet-headed Lady Figdet, vhc, perhaps deserved 
her letters though short of coat and her ears are inclined to 
prtck. Ormonde Susie was harshly treated, with not even a 
letter, and h lora May should have had more than two letters, 
the winning dog pup Cragston Donald is a good coated dog 
with a very fair head 
worthy move, as there is no class of men who as a body, love 
dogs more than the members of the Fire Department. 
Lady Gladys, the St. Bernard, ruptured a blood vessel just 
before the M. K. C. and is now under the vet's careful atten- 
tion. 
Geo. S. Thomas sold the noted fox terrier Richmond Victory 
for Mr. Geo. Raper, to Mr. T. J. Sullivan, McGregor, Ia. She 
won firsts at Detroit and Chicago. He also sold the winning 
field spaniel Endcliffe Ebony, to Mr. J. A. Spracklin, of Wood- 
stock, Out. 
Mr. Geo. Douglas sold his winning cocker spaniel Woodland 
Prince to a Chicago fancier, also the bitch Rosalind, reserve, in 
the open class. 
Mr. C. E Bunn sold the winning mastiff pup Hegira to S. 
Schaida, the Roval Commissioner from Japan to the mid- 
winter fair, at San Francisco, Cal. Hegira starts for Japan 
next week as a present to the Mikado, The one Mr. Bunn sold 
last year has since died. 
Dr. Sauveur sold his crack col Lie Gold Dust during tne show 
to Mr. J. P. Morgan for the sum of $3,000. 
The Gordon bitch "Dwight Etna died under peculiar circum- 
stances, on arriving at Chicago from Detroit; other dogs were 
sick and a postmortem examination was made of Eflie, but the 
result is not known vet. 
Dr. Sauveur is importing Southport Sequa rrora Mr. Mason's 
kenuel and the dog will be known as Seminole Perfection. This 
is the dog that Mr. Stretch disqualified on account of his 
ears, but it has since been proved that he is all right. He is 
said to be a. good one. 
The crack bull dog Fancy Romford is now the proper ty o 1 
the Woodlawn Park Kennels. The bitch Bubbles that is 
expected over with him is in whelp to Outsider. 
Mr. Andrew Laidlaw, of Gait, Ont., has sold the well-known 
cockers Rideau Reine, Commodore and Baby Ruth to the Mepal 
Kennels, Marlboro, Mass. This almost ' makes a winning 
kennel to start with. 
The brmdle bull dog Wal Hampton is now the property of 
Mr. Suydam, of New York, Col. Hilton, proprietor of the 
Woodlawn Kennels having presented him with the dog. 
Mr. Jos. Lewis, as our readers are aware, lost the good beagle 
bitch Robino that he purchased at the Providence show, but not 
to be defeated in his purpose ne has now very pluckily bought 
Robino's former kennel mate, Ringleader, from Mr. Joachim, 
through Mr. Mortimer. This dog is a good beagle and should 
be used on some of our weak-headed, light-boned stock. 
No dog, born after March 31, 1895, can be shown with its ears 
cropped. English Kennel Club rules. America should now 
follow suit in this humane resolve. 
A new dog society has just been formed in Paris by a number 
of titled sportsmen, in the interests of beagles, and several 
thousand francs will be put up as prizes for beagles at the 
ODming Paris show in May. H. W. LACY

.t m * it. "Terre-Haute, Ind., March 1. 
J. W. Avent, Esq. 
"Dear Sir: While "it ;is my intention to withdraw from the dog 
world for the present at least, I, however, do not care to feel that 
my resignation from the U. S. Field Trial Club would in any way 
cause any person to think I was leaving it with any intention of 
hurting the future prosperity of the club. I will therefore with- 
draw my resignation for the present, and if 1 find that later on I 
cannot spare the time devoted to its interest, I will then resign. 
Yours very truly, (Signed) H. HULMAN, JR."

date were those of Messrs. Osthaus and Buckle. 
Moved by Mr. Avent and seconded, by Mr. Rowland, that action
