CHICAGO DOG SHOW. 
(Continued from Page 213.) 
OLD ENGLISH SHEEPDOGS (John Davidson, Judge).— 
The well-known Herdsman II. and Boxer III. were placed as 
named. 
POODLES (John Davidson, Judge).— There was not such a 
showing as last year. The challenge classes were drawn blank. 
In open corded 'dogs, Ponce De Leon von from Lais, good in 
cords, Nero, untrimmed, coming third. In curlies Prince, the 
winner, is a good-headed dog, but falls away behind; Black 
Jack is coarse aud fat in body; Dahomey, third, has the best 
curls but is down in quarters. In bitches Theo won, a nice- 
headed one with good curl; Princess, second, is weak in muzzle 
and curl should be tighter; Queen Zip, third, was not in the 
best of shape. 
DALMATIANS (John Davidson, Judge).— These were poor, 
spots not distinct enough, and heads and ears faulty. Jack, 
the dog winner, was about the best of the six shown. Some of 
them were almost black in body. 
BULL DOGS (E. A. Woodward, Judge).— The secretary of 
the Bull Dog Club had an easy task on his second appearance 
in the ring, but although entries were few, the quality was 
choice. All the winners have been repeatedly described. In 
bitches. Huckuall Gypsy, easily accounted for the long-faced 
Sally Brass II. Miss Mischief was absent. In light weight 
dogs Nuggett was alone and in the absence of Princess Venn, 
Juno II. had a walkover. 
BULL TERRIERS (W. Mariner, Judge).— The classes were 
well filled and the quality very fair. Cordona was alone in 
challenge dogs and Attraction scored handily over Lady Dinah, 
especially in body. In heavy weight dogs first went to Bellerby 
King, improved on last year's form; Prince Gully, second, I 
thought beat him in head and eye; Chatauqua Clyde, third, is 
too cheeky and wide in skull and muzzle should be longer; Lord 
Rosebery has a nice, long, clean head and should have had 
the position, though he is not furnished up in body. Dutch 
Biliy is rather coarse in head but good in eye. In bitches, 
Flower of the Valley was picked out for first, a nice, long, 
clean-headed bitch, with well-placed eye; second to Queen 
Lilly, fuller in eye than the majority from this kennel, but very 
well formed all rouud from head back; ears are not so smart as 
they might be; Burston Kit is a trifle heavy in shoulder and 
has a full, light eye; Countess of Dufferin, reserve, holds her 
owu in great shape. Edgewood Trilby was hardly treated with 
he Edgewood Sport, the only lightweight dog, should be a 
little flatter in skull. In bitches the smart Edgewood Match- 
less scored again, followed by Lorna Doone, another daughter 
of Gully the Great; a nice, long, clean-headed bitch with a 
rather full eye; Chatauqua Nellie, third, has too much stop, 
and Emulation is short-headed. Edgewood Trilby won in 
puppies, and Prince Gully in the novice class, with Trilby, 
second Frank F. Dole took the kennel prize. 
BOSTON TERRIERS (John Davidson, Juige).— Quite a nice 
little show of these dogs of "eultuab," and the judge acquitted 
himself well. Jem Mace had no competitor, an l Countess was 
absent in the 25 to 35 pound bitch class. In 15 to 25 pound 
dogs Commissioner romped in, a very neat sort with a capital 
head- Sandy has a wedgy, long muzzle, good skull but is 
cheeky, good tail; Hector, third,. I did not see. In bitches, 
Topsy, a very neat little sort, beats Peggy in shortness and 
squareness of muzzle aud flatness of skull, and in front; Ruth is 
a trifle snipy but is a very fair sorb. Reuben, the novice win- 
ner is too long in muzzle and has a "bully" look. 
DACHSHUNDS (Jos. Wedekind, Judge).— There were a 
lot of entries comparatively speaking, but more than ever was 
type diversified. Hundesport Bergman won in challenge dogs. 
In open dogs Puck, a sweet headed little black was first, a 
little fine in body, not in shape, but decidedly a dog of 
quality. Second to Nips, a rather coarse-headed dog, too full 
in skull, chest should be deeper; Sandy, reserve, hasafair head, 
a little light in body, good loose skin. In bitches equal first 
went to Polly and Hexe Von Venlo, the nice-headed bitch that 
was at Detroit; Polly is a very fair sort, a little tight in skin, 
chest well let down and stands on good, strong legs, well 
muscled; Kutscka II. Eeinecke, reserve, was at Detroit. There 
was nothiDg extra in the puppy class. W. Loeflier won the 
kennel prize. 
BEAGLES (John Davidson, Judge).— A very fair lot, in fact 
better than in former years, Mr. Wixom's pretty team being 
much admired. In challenge dogs Ch. Sherry won easily 
enough from Joe, Paderewski and Adam, the latter coming in 
reserve. In bitches Ch. Elf won well over June M. In dogs 
over 13 incnes, Hawkeye, first, beat another good one in Roger 
W it's a very close thing between them, the latter getting it a 
little in head and lib, and losing in cleanness of shoulder; Joe, 
third is too lone: in body; Dan J., beats him in head ; Pomp, 
vhc 'is also better in front and head. Trump has a coarse, 
long' head. In bitches, Daisy Corbett won well in hand from 
Fancy M.. who was lucky, as she is out at front and none too 
FOREST AND STREAM 
strong in muzzle, perhaps a good fault; , Raby Rival and Raby 
TrueSt, the big dogs, were vhc. In bitches Geo. Raper's trio, 
Richmond Victory, Cowthorpe^: Gem and Richmond Pearl, 
were placed as named, the same as at Detroit, Warren Dorothy 
f ourth, in the same relative position ; Bit of Fortune, a small 
one, with a good front and ears well carried, deserved her place 
and Judgment's Reward (the nomenclature of tbese dogs takes 
the cake or rather the — ), is a little full in skull, nice front and 
ear but she is on the small side. A bewildering lot of puppies 
came out, but outside of the winners mentioned above the 
quality was much mixed. In bitches, Selden Sweetness is one 
with good round bone, full in skull yet and ears are a trifle 
large, Bit of Fortune was second. Warren Daybreaii and 
Salesman won in novice dogs and Richmond Victory and Cow- 
thorpe Gem in the corresponding class. In wire hairs there 
were no challenge entries. The New York winning pup 
Encliffe Brisk won well in head over Mister Great Snap in open 
dogs with the well-known Brittle Beaut, reserve. Yale Tramp, 
vhc, runs the latter close with Compton Vindex, described 
before, he. ; Roath Bonnie was the only bitch shown. The 
Rutherford Kennel took the smooth kennel prize. 
IRISH TERRIERS (John Davidson, Judge,.— Jack Briggs 
once more scored over Merle Grady, Jackanapes being absent 
in challenge dogs; Duumurrey furnished the bitch class winner. 
That smart pup, Briggs' Best, was alone in dogs. Gessela III. 
won from the light bodied Briggs' Breeze, followed by the nice- 
headed Kate Carney, who was shown altogether too fat; plain- 
headed Colleen Rime II. was reserve. Briggs' Best took the 
novice and puppv prizes. 
SCOTTISH TERRIERS (John Davidson, Judge).— No chal- 
lenge entries. The Colored Preacher won well from Kiitib in 
open dogs, beating in body and coat. In bitches, Bessie, excel- 
lent in coat and body, but off in head, won from the well- 
known Glenshea. A great falling off in these classes from last 
year. 
BLACK AND TAN TERRIERS (John Davidson, Judge).— 
Many of these are well-known and so do not require extended 
criticism. The old stayer, Broomfield Sultan, won again in 
challenge dogs, but Queen III., good bitch as she has been, has 
gone off considerably, and might, have given way to Gypsey 
Girl, who beats her in front, cleanness of head, but is beaten in 
March 23, 1895. 
Razzle, first, Royal Dick, second, but the latter was lucky to 
beat Little Wonder, being too round and full in skull, good 
brush and body. In bitches the winner, Kitty Clover, loses to 
both Evangeline, second, and Dazzle, reserve, in type, only 
forging ahead a little in bone and substance; Ada, third, a 
pretty-headed one, ears not turned to head, good front. Alice 
won in punpies with a rather nice-headed one, Bessie Brown, 
second Hornell Harmonv-Kennels took the kennel prize. 
FOX TERRIERS (James Mortimer, Judge).— A capital 
entry and the classes were well handled. "Warren Safeguard 
and Warren Captious, were the challenge winners aud the 
Rutherford Kennel had a rare innings with Warren Daybreak, 
Tip Top and Warren Salesman placed in the order named. Day- 
break is a rattling good youngster, cleaner in head and front 
than either of the others, the dogs of this kennel are so similar 
in appearance that at New York we mistook Daybreak for 
the Providence pup. Hillside Royal, fourth, with his coarseness 
should have given way to a cleaner head and fronted dog in 
Hillside Domo; reserve, Streak of Luck, a fair sort, is a little 
TOY POODLES (T. Parrer Rackham, Judge). -The dog 
had some resemblance' to a poodle, but Pearl, Jr., would make 
a very fair Maltese terrier, especially in size. 
MISCELLANEOUS (John Davidson, Judge).— Ben Lewis, 
Jr's., terrier Franis, and a small Esquimo- spitz, were first and 
second in dogs, and the rough haired daschshund, Pennie 
Reinecke, was alone in bitches. H. W. LACY. 
(Mr. Lacy's reports were received promptly on time, but 
owing to pressure on our columns, we were unable to publish 
them sooner.) 
U. S. F. T. C. Matters. 
We have received a long letter of explanation from Mr. 
Avent, in respect to his personal relations with the club, and 
other matters. The pressure on our columns restricts us largely 
to a mention of its important points. 
He states that, when he became a member of the club, if was 
at the solicitation of Mr. Madison and that, when he was first 
put on the Board of Governors, he was not present and did not 
know who proposed his name; and that his re election was 
without any seeking on his part as was also his election at 
West Point; that since he has been a member no one has 
worked harder for the interest of the club than ae has, and that 
he is williug that every proposition and action which he made, 
should be known. 
He says: "The only thing I have reason to regret is the un- 
fortunate affair in which I was connected at Bicknell '.in 1893 — 
that was very unbecoming, and at once, without any one sug- 
gesting I apologized to the three judges and they cheerfully 
accepted my apology. Through my efforts, Mr. J. N. Seal and 
Allic Pursons, of Jackson, and others, joined the U. S. Club in 
1893. Again at West Point, 1 persuaded Prof. Osthaus, of 
Toledo, Ohio, Philip M. Essig, Natchez, Miss., Mr. James 
Angola, La., Mr. Cottrell, West Point, Miss., Mr. N. B. 
Nesbitt, Chesterville, Mass., and Mr. C. E. Buckle. Charlottes- 
ville, Va., to join the club. Go to their homes, trace their char- 
acter and see if tbey are not every one gentlemen and thorough 
sportsmen that are worthy of membership to any field trial 
club, although three of them I know received one black ball 
each. Only one of them, Mr. Buckle, was proposed by me to 
go on the Governor's Committee. I proposed him because I

hind parts. The dark Roehelle Rush won in dogs over Play 
Boy, shown in great shape, very nice head and ear, but lacks 
thumb marks Chicago Spider has been described. Gypsey 
Queen won in bitches, her tan is not clear enough; Rosette, 
second, is a rather big, coai se bitch, good head tan, but thumb 
marks run in ; Canada Queen should have beaten her. Chas. 
Wilson took the kennel prize. 
There was only one Bedlington, Eudclift'e Wasp, spoken of 
before. Tweed, the only Daudie Dinmont dog, is soft in coat 
and a bit out at elbow. In bitches Lothian Judy was also 
alone. 
SKYE TERRIERS (John Davidson, Judge).— Always a 
good lot here, though the winners were from a distance, and 
nearly all have been commented upon recently. Jenne of 
Dean, third, in op«n bitches, is small, snipy and short of coat. 
No Schipperkes exhibited. 
YORKSHIRE TERRIERS (T. Farrer Rackham, Judge).— 
A lot of "hair" dogs, but few real Yorkshires. Minnie Yorke 
occupied her usual place. In open dogs Bradford Rejected, 
won as he pleased from Damfino, who is smutty in head color, 
but good body color aud coat; Fishpool Gem, third, has gone 
very smutty in tan. Prince Harry is a nice-colored one, that 
carries his tail too high. Pinkie Yorke won in bitches, mixed 
in bodv color, light in tan; second to Judy York, a light 
silver blue and Nina is also a silver 
The toy terriers were the usual apple headed little "squirm- 
ers," and in smooths, firsts were withheld. 
PUGS (T. Farrer Rackham, Judge).— A capital lot of pugs 
turned out. Drummer beat his kennel mate, Duke Howard, in 
challenge dogs, Attraction being out of shape. Haughty Madge 
won alone in her class but was shown too fat. Young Penrice 
and Al Von took their Detroit positions, followed by Fins- 
bury Dong, a fair-headed one with the well-known Patsey 
Bolivar fourth, and Finsbury Duke, vhc. A nice little sort is 
Robbie Mac, excellent iu size: the class was a hot one all 
through, but our detailed criticism will keep for another time. 
Hooker, the Detroit winner, won in bitches, followed by Mint, 
who has no trace, gets her ears up and should be deeper in 
stop; Queen Zitka, third, should be higher in skull, but a nice 
stamp all round; Princess Madge, reserve, would not show 
herself, but is a most promising sort with a good head. La 
Belle Senora deserved her letters. Queen Madge, another 
promising pup, but lacking trace, excellent iu head and ear and 
very cnbby, won in puppies. Finsbury Dong and Cashier's 
Daughter took tin novice prizes. T. A. Howard took the 
kennel prize. 
TOY SPANIELS (T. Farrer Rackham, Judge).— One fairly 
good King Charles in Puck was shown; a. drop from last year. 
Puck has quite a good skull, and short muzzle, tan not clear 
enough. 
A fair Blenheim, better in skull than in muzzle, was shown in 
Miss Ruby. 
The Ruby eutry was a snipy -faced, any other color, liver 
and white spaniel. 
No Japauese were entered. 
The Italian greyhounds were almost the same as at Detroit, 
Dixie, third in open dogs being the new face, a fawn and white, 
rather large sized. 
thought his influence was worth a lot to the club, but some one 
else proposed Messrs. James and Essig, also Mr. Seal, making 
four of the gentlemen that I have proposed for membership on 
the governing committee. I am free to admit that 1 have told 
Mr. Madison and othe? 1 that I was trying to get all the good 
members that I could in the South to keep up our side of the 
interest in the club. In fact, Mr. Madison asked me to use my 
influence in trying to get all the good members that I could. 
When it came to electing a committee for selecting judges, Mr 
Madison, Mr. N. T. Harris, and one other gentleman from the 
North was proposed by Mr. Madison. I then rose aud stated 
that inasmuch as the Southern people furnished more entries 
than the North, that one of the committee should be from the 
North. Mr. Madison, one from the Central States, Mr. N. 
T. Harris, and one from the South, Mr. J. N. Seal. They were 
unanimously elected. I had no objection to the committee 
last year, Dr. Rowe and Mr. Madison; in fact, if Dr. Rowe 
was really able to attend to the affairs of the club, I would be 
willing for him to select every judee that I run under, and 
attend to all other business, but we regret very much to know 
of hii illness confining him to his room, and "he could not be 
expected to look after even his own business — and I have said 
it to friends that I did not think it showed good taste to have 
Mr. Madison the only one to select judges when he is running 
dogs good enough to win first. I am sure that when Mr. Madi- 
son thinks about it, he had rather win under judges that others 
had a say in the selecting. There is no sectional feeling in me. 
Many of my best friends live in the North and Northeast, and 
no such feeling is existing between the U. S. Club members." 
(Some reference to Mr. Damon is here cut out.) "The meeting 
of the U. S. Club at West Point was undoubtedly the most 
successful one ever held, and nearly every one present compli- 
mented the business way that the club had arranged then- com- 
mittees and all other busniess for the year. On Monday night, 
before the All Age Setter stake was run, Mr. Madison sent in 
his resignation, to the surprise of all present. We all regretted 
it very much. I tried to persuade him to withdraw his resigna- 
tion, but he refused. I made a motion not to accept his resigna- 
tion at that time, saying I hoped after Mr. Madison had time to 
reflect that he would still stay with us, and the meeting was 
adjourned until Feb. 5 at New Albany. Afterward I ap- 
proached Mr, Madison four different times trying to persuade 
him to stay with the club, and he did not hint that I was the 
cause of his resigning. On Tuesday night, just before the 
governing committee was called to order, I was informed by 
Prof. Osthaus that Mr. Madison was resigning because handlers 
were members of the club. I at once stated that if that was 
the cause that 1 would resign myself if he would remain, and at 
the meeting we again refused to accept his resignation, ap- 
pointing Prof. Osthaus a committee to telegraph Mr. Madison 
that Mr. Stafford has decided never to handle any more dogs in 
Held trials, and that Mr. M, Buckle, Nesbitt and myself would 
resign of he would still act as Secretary and Treasurer. The ' 
following message was Mr. Madison's reply to Prof. Osthaus, 
aud handed to Mr. Stafford to read when received :
