FOREST AND STREAM. 
Pope's Samson, and Pope's Speedy, owned by the White Oak 
Kennels, were first and second and reserve respectively. 
The same kennels' Clav and Zack were first and second in 
the Qeld trial class. This kennel made a strong entry and 
won the kennel prize. 
Chesapeake Bay dogs were in numbers larger than com- 
mon, though numbering but eight entries, of which Otter 
Girl was absent. There was but one entry in the challenge 
class, W. S. Bigelow's Bigelow's Rose. In open dogs, Rich- 
ard Connor's Peter, light in bone, but good in coat and 
type, won first over Oak Grove Kennels' Cnrley, a fair aver- 
age dog, and their Deacon, first at New York, took the re- 
serve. In the bitch class there were but two competitors, 
W. S. Bigelow's Rose II. and Oak Grove Kennels' Biddy P., 
first and second in the order named. 
Pointers numbered fifty all told. Glen Rock Kennels' 
Dlifceof Kent II. and Molton Banner were first and reserve 
in the_ challenge class for heavy-weight dogs. The former 
was high in flesh. The corresponding bitch class had no 
entry. In the open class for heavy-weights, Glen Rock 
Kennels' Twinkle took first. He was shown in hard flesh 
stands on excellent legs and feet, and has a good pointer 
head. G. Muss Arnolt's Lord Bracken, recently described 
in reports of other shows, won second. Robert Leslie's King 
of Lynn won third. He was not shown in the best of con- 
dition. N, L. Chaffin's Dan was the reserve. There were 
nine competitors in this class, and five in the class of bitches 
of which hrst was won by Springside Kennels' Springside 
Nell, a symmetrical bitch, good in loin, legs, feet and body. 
Second went to E. M. Beale's Alice Leslie, long cast, too 
straight in stifles and only of average merit, C. IT. Clark, 
Jr.'s, Emblem, was throaty and a little out of condition. 
Glen Rock Kennels' Pet, the reserve, was heavy in shoulders 
and gross in flesh. In the light-weight class, challenge 
dogs, Springfield Kennels' Duke of Hessen won over George 
J. Gould's Ridgeview Comet, F. A. Hodgman's Arthur 
and Ridgeview Tenny, reserve. In bitches George J. 
Gould 's Lady" Gay Spanker, a well-known bitch, won over 
Miss Rumor and Springside Kennels' Hempstead Pearl. 
The open dog class had eleven entries. George J. Gould's 
Ridgeview Chancellor, described in recent reports, won first. 
J. L. Adam's Lad of Rush won second. He is light in 
body, plain in head and his coat was not clean. Third went 
to E. W. Foote's Kentwood, lank and flat in body, tail 
coarse, ordinary in quality. H. W. Rickards's Nick of Kent 
was the reserve; he is plain in head and out at the elbows 
There were eight in the bitch class. C. D . Roberts's Devon- 
shire Pearl, a winner at the ISiew York show, won first in a 
not close competition. Second went to N. L. Chaffin's 
Daisy, plain in head, good body, forelegs not of the best, fair 
symmetry. G. A. Vickary's Belle, third, is out at elbows, 
plain in head, good quarters. The reserve, J. R. Schuyler's 
Vexation, is light in muzzle, straight in shoulders, yet a 
fairly good pointer. There were seven in the puppy class 
for dogs. E, S. Eaton's Shadway, first, is quite a superior 
puppy. His body is well-ribbed and well-shaped; clean, 
well-made neck well set on good shoulders, good legs and 
feet, plain head and superior symmetry. N. Clifford's N. B. 
Allison II., second, is a fairly good coarse puppy. The re- 
serve went to E. E. Clark's Dustyway, a long-cast puppy. 
There were but two in the bitch puppy class, and of those, 
Tell Tale, a fair average puppy, won over Dame Fortune, 
both owned by John L. Heard. Of the five competitors in 
the field trial class, Duke of Hessen won the first prize, Duke 
Kent II., and Lad of Rush the reserve. George J. Gould 
won the kennel prize. 
English setters were light in numbers, twenty-eight all 
told, of which three were absent and one was a duplicate. 
Cactus and G lendon were the only ones in the challenge class 
The former won. Maid Marion had a walkover in the chal- 
lenge bitch class. In open dogs, there were fourteen com- 
petitors. First was won by H. L. Keyes's Montell, a loosely 
built dog, round in muzzle, crooked in tail, too straight in 
stifles, and a little leggy, good body, legs and feet; he is 
not a superior specimen. Ed. A. Burdett's Cincinnatus's 
Pride is light in muzzle, somewhat leggy, and of fair sym- 
metry. F. F. Bock's Dan o' Light, third, was thin in flesh 
and not in the best of condition. He has a good head and 
fair symmetry. C. E. Lewis's Harry L. was the reserve. He 
is not a good mover and stands badly in front. The Earl 
was awarded vhc. He is rather heavily flewed, is throaty, 
and his head is not properly shaped for a setter head, and he 
does not stand squarely in front. He has good symmetry 
and lots of setter character. There were six to face the 
judge m the bitch class. Oak Grove Kennels' Nellie F., a 
i rim, symmetrical bitch, won first. She is light in head, it 
being of the light hitchy type. She is symmetrical, stands 
on good legs and feet, has a good body and quarters, neck 
lean and well set on shoulders. She is not, however, quite 
so fall in muscular development as is desirable. She won 
the special for the best setter, dog or bitch, over Maid 
Marion— a very close contest. While Nellie has more sym- 
metry, Maid has decidedly a better muscular development 
and quite as much setter character. Second went to A. 
Boote's Clara, narrow in head, nicely shaped body, good 
neck, sound legs and feet; a close second. Oakland Farm's 
Our Pet, third, plain in head, is a good bitch, and was a good 
third. The remainder of the class was ordinary. Jos. 
Lewis's Larkspur, a long-cast puppy, had no competition in 
. the dog puppy class, nor had Our Pet any in the bitch puppy 
clsss. 
The Irish setter classes were light in numbers and only of 
fair merit. Oak Grove Kennels' Kildare took premier 
honors in the challenge class, the reserve going to B. T. 
Bartleson's Bob, Jr. The remaining entries were Finglas 
aud Kildare Glenmpre. Oak Grove Kennels' Queen Vic had 
an easy win over their Noma in the challenge class for 
bitches. There were but four in the open dog class, Hen- 
more Shamrock takiug first, prize, winning first over the 
New York winner, G. Shippen's Shamrock O'Moore, the 
latter long cast and a Ml throaty, though a good dog. Third 
went to R. B. Fay's King Grew, coarse in head and a general 
tendency to coarseness. The reserve, F. A. Whitney's Ruff- 
dau, is flat in ribs aud ordinary. There were four in the 
bitch class. W.L.Washington's Ruby Glenmore II., thin 
in flesh, won first; second going to F. G. Goodridge's Coler- 
aine, a good bitch not in good condition. Geo. E. Pierce's 
Princess, pale in color and plain in head, took third; she 
stands on good legs and lent, and has a good deal of 
merit. B. F. Lewis. Jr.'s, Toronto Biddy took the reserve. 
There was but one entry in the dog puppy class, H. G. 
Braethwaite's Kirstal, and two in the bitch class, of which 
N. Mcintosh's Bostal Noma, first, was quite a good one. W. 
L. Washington's Kildare Annette, second, was thin in flesh 
and has a poor head. The kennel prize was won by the Oak 
Grove Kennels. 
Gordon setters numbered eighteen. Noyes Billings's Ringer 
B. won easily over Leo B. in the challenge class, and Dr. S. 
G. Dixon's Princess Louise had no competitor in the cor- 
responding bitch class. There were six dogs in the open 
class. First was won" by H. A. Esterbroo&'s Wanoosuoc 
Prince, short in muzzle, head not clean cut, fair tan ami 
symmetry. John Kennedy's Mount Royal Rush, second, is 
ordinary, poor head, light nose, smudgy tan. Geo. Shaffer's 
Wang Ivauhoe, third, was built on straight lines, and F. C. 
Cross's Argus B. , reserve, has a coarse head, and has a general 
tendency to coarseness. This class was a poor one. There 
were four bitches. Dr. S. G. Dixon's Maid of Waverly was 
easily ahead of anything in her class. Her head is not 'clean 
cut, but she is well made and sy m metrical. His Sante Marie 
is heavy m whelp. She has a wedgy head. His Daisy Ivanhoe, 
third, is light in body, tan smudgy, and her quality is ordi- 
nary. In dog puppies H. S. Robert's Count Noble's Boy was 
first, M. W. Murray's Duke Noble second, H. A. Esterbrook's 
Royal Rex reserve. There was but one entry in the field 
trial class, Ranger B. Dr. Dixon won the kennel prize. 
Beagles were in good numbers and quality. Nearly all 
the winners were dogs of real merit. In the challenge class 
for dogs, Rockland Beagle Kennels' Eov K. won first. He is 
an excellent beagle. Their Forest Hunter took reserve. He 
is a bit heavy in shoulders, soft in coat, still he has good 
beagle character. In the challenge bitch class, their Lonely 
won first over Trimtwo and Topsy, the latter the reserve. 
In the open class for dogs, over 18 in., Joe Lewis's Ringleader 
won first. He is a good beagle, but his legs are not so clean 
turned as they might he Second was won by the Rockland 
Beagle Kennels' Directum, a trifle heavy in head, good coat, 
legs and feet, well-shaped body, and good quarter?. Na- 
tional Beagle Kennels' Diamond Forest, third, is soft in coat 
and shows throatiness. LoeIII.,the reserve, is pinched in 
muzzle aud heavy in shoulders. There were five in the bitch 
class, over 13 in. S. Smith's Silverena, an excellent bitch all 
round, won first. Second went to H. B. Tallman's Trill's 
Baby, only of fair quality, third going to H, Hanson's Lady 
of Denmark, heavy in shoulders and out at elbows. Dogs 
under 13 in. had three entries. Glenrose Beagle Kennels' 
Clarion of G I en rose, an excellent beagle, won first. He was 
a bit too fat. G. Laick's Laick's Roy, also a good beagle, 
took secondhand W. G. E. Hammersley's Rival third. The 
bitch class had nine competitors. First went to a good 
beagle, Glenrose Beagle Kennels' Trill, second to A. Parry's 
Primrose, not good in head, but otherwise quite well made ; 
third went to J. Reardon's Maida, thin in flesh from the 
effects of recent illness. She showed a deal of quality. The 
reserve, H. Ramsdell's Pride of Cressbrook, is heavy in the 
shoulders. There were six dog puppies. First, A. D. Fiske's 
Phantom; second, C. Peabody's Comedy: reserve, S. Smith's 
Whang. Glenrose Beagle Kennels' Fury, first, and S. 
Smith's Schackne, second, were the two entries in bitches. 
There were six in the field trial class, of which the winners 
were: first, Rockland Beagle Kennels' Frank Forest; second, 
Forest Beagle Kennels' Gipsey Forest ; reserve. H. Hanson's 
Olaf of Denmark. B. WATKRS. 
Mastiffs showed a considerable falling off compared to 
last year's entry. Out of seventeen entries fifteen were from 
Dr. Longest's kennels. The Doctor seems as enthusiastic as 
ever, in spite of the Beaufort's Black Prince affair last year, 
and in making such a large entry he afforded the " Fallons " 
of the fancy ample opportunity to gain possession of other 
good dogs on equally easy terms. This time Ingleside Mint- 
ing and Emperor William met in the challenge class, the 
former, not very well shown in regard to coat, repeated last 
year's victory. Then Dr. Longest bought him, and he 
scarcely cares which dog wins now. His Lady Diana, look- 
ing very well, won in the corresponding class. A capital 
headed dog in Hans Sachs from the same kennel had a walk- 
over in open dogs, the grand-headed Ingleside Maximiliau 
being N. F. C. Bitches had but three present of the six 
entries, and the short-faced, wrinkly Lady Cameron, not in 
very good shape, was followed by the brindle Maggie 
Murphy, who has improved on her New York form ; Eider's 
(third) type of head is a better one, and she beats in bone 
and depth of body. She afterwards won the special for best 
mover. These are all from Dr. Longest's kennels. Two 
very promising dog puppies were shown in Carlo and King- 
man's Bow Bow, and a better pup still in Rose, beat Pearl in 
body, bone and skull in the bitch class ; all from the Mount 
Vernon Kennel. Ingleside Minting won most of the specials, 
and the kennel prize of course went to Dr. Longest. 
In St. Bernards the quality was rather mixed, and on the 
whole there is little headway being made. Take away the 
old winners, and there is little left to fill their places. 
Moore's Altoneer and Lady Livingston took the challenge 
prizes, the latter again beating Miss Anna, who scarcely 
looked in such good feather as at Pittsburg. Open dogs 
showed a falling off in entries, Booth's Duke of Lincoln 
standing literally head and shoulders over the others. This 
grand dog improves on acquaintance. An excellent headed 
dog in Gov. Russell (J. W. Comey's) gained second ; a deeper 
body would improve him. Third went to the well-known 
Jim Blaine, a nice [all-round dog, though rather low set and 
dips behind the shoulders. His son, Jim Blaine, Jr., took 
reserve; he lacks character, but has a well-shaped head, is 
light in body, but was well shown. The bitch class was 
scarcely so good, and a very fair bitch, P. J. Slane's Lady 
Vandyke, won first ; she should be straighter in ba.ck and 
truer in front; Victoria II., from Mr. Moore's kennel, loses 
in muzzle and width of head ; Melba (Galaxy Kennels), third, 
is too full in eye, and should be better ribbed. The puppies 
were not Very promising. Alton, Jr., had no difficulty in 
beating another good dog, Melrose King, in the challenge 
dog class for smooths, and Col. Ruppert's Empress of Con- 
tocock's deeper muzzle and body sufficed to plate her over 
Melrose Belle, whose general symmetry, however, is better. 
There was a large entry in open dogs this year, and a son of 
Melrose's, C. W. Bicktord's Rex Bute, was soon picked out 
for honors ; barring a large ear, his head is a capital one, 
well marked and showing lots of quality of the Alton, Jr., 
type, stands on good legs, richly colored in coat, but should 
grow a bit yet ; the well-known Counch, not improved much 
in body, was second ; and Judith's Altoneer, a plain, washy- 
colored one, took third : she has a pretty fair head. G. W. 
Patterson's Eulalie II., filled out nicely, scored over Moore's 
Melrose J udith in body and hind parts. The puppy dog prize 
was withheld from one of those freaks in coloring we some- 
times meet with even in the very best bred stock. The bitch 
puppy Guide's Belle shows lots of quality. The kennel prize 
went to Mr. Moore's grand smooth team, but the special for 
best in show was a tight thing between Alton, Jr., and Duke 
of Lincoln, the former just getting the verdict through ex- 
pression, shape of head, and deptn of muzzle; back of the 
head he is considerably excelled by the rough dog, and also 
in action, and no one could have cavilled at the decision had 
the other dog won as they stood that day. 
Great Danes, There was little here to interest one. Chal- 
lenge classes did not fill, andE.Knieriem's Major McKinley 
II., the well-known youngster, was the only decent one in 
open dogs, and the nice bodied Ella scored easily from Per- 
kins's Owl's Nest Topsy, in bitches. 
Deerhounds, with the exception of two entries, J. P. Barn- 
ard's Jane and Sandy MePherson, all camefromthe Hillside 
Kennels. They have been out before, and were above placed 
in their usual order. The greyhound classes were strong, 
but Mr. Smith was scarcely Jhappy in his selections, though 
it must be admitted the dogs he turned down were not in 
condition. 
With Southern Rhymes and Imperator in challenge dogs 
and Bestwood Daisy alone in bitches, we come to the open 
dogs, where J. H. Wiuslow's Jack of Clubs, very well shown, 
beat Bradbury's Dakota and J. F. Turner's Baltic ; the win- 
ner drops away too much in loin and quarters, Dakota 
should have more rib, and this also applies to Baltic, who 
beat the others under the same judge at Philadelphia last 
year. Toon & Thomas's Southern Fury, though he did 
show a slight touch of lameness iu hindleg, should have 
won and their Southern Charm been mentioned, at any rate. 
In bitches, the winner, White Oak Hill Kennels' Silk, a 
neat enough little thing, does not stand over enough ground 
and is beaten by Southern Belle, the second winner; Be 
of Stones, third, is best in quarters and loin, but should be 
better ribbed up; Wild Lily, the New York and Detroit 
winner, and Southern Gay Girl, first at Chicago, were un- 
mentioned ; the latter is one of the best in the class, bat 
showed some redness on hind leg-<. A promising pup in 
Wild Imp was alone in its class. Toon & Tnomas took the 
kennel prize. 
The Russian Wolfhounds depended entirely upon Mr. 
Hanks's kenhel. Col. Dietz and Vinga in challenge classes 
and Sorvanets, going to pieces, and Groubian II., unfur- 
nished yet, the only open dogs. Lady Dietz, looking thin, won 
over Zmeika, unmentioned, who can beat the other to a 
standstill in everything but hocks, but the judge being a 
stickler for soundness one can understand why she was so 
neglected. In puppies a daughter of Leekhoi was given first; 
though why Graubian II., second in open dogs, should have 
been passed over without a mention is difficult to under- 
stand. 
Both the Newfoundland entries were absent. 
Spaniels. While the entry in most of the breeds was a 
good one, the quality especially in cockers showed a falling 
off. The well-known Midnight III., in better shape 
than usual, was the only challenge field spaniel. Open dogs 
was a hot class, and the peculiar headed Dark Despair made 
his debut with winning honors; a ridge of hair on muzzle 
and between the eyes detracts from an otherwise fair profile; 
his head has plenty of depth and is fairly well formed; he is 
a bit on the leg, but has good length and was well shown. 
The well-known Staley Baron was a good second, with Toby 
reserve; but Fashion, vhc. , is better in head and front. In 
bitches, M. A. Viti's Scandal, nice pup though she is, was lucky 
to beat Endcliffe Myrtle, who scores in head length and body. 
The any other colors were a poor lot, first being withheld. 
In cockers, challenge dogs. Woodland Prince scored over the 
parti-colored Bim, who loses in head. The bitch class was 
empty. In open dogs, an old winner, Mepal Kennels' Com- 
modore, whose change of quarters seems to have been bene- 
ficial, scored nicely over Edmond's Adonis, who is a little out 
at elbow. Beppo, third, is just a fair little sort not furnished 
yet. Prince Nebo, entered in this class, unfortunately hung 
h imself over his stall just before the show opened, Mepal 
Kennels' well-known Baby Ruth scores only in head over 
Woodland Princess, while Fashion, third, is rather long in 
body. The any other color dog class proved a picnic for Mr. 
Fiske with Billy and Vernon, both commented on in Pitts- 
burg report. His Muldoon also took reserve. The other 
four were marked absent. Mr. T. M. Robertson's entries 
were delayed by the floods, and on arrival the class was re- 
opened and his Red Obo given an extra first. He is a nice 
headed one, but faulty in front. Tarr's Jimmie was over- 
looked, but was on the bench. In bitches there was nothing 
to beat the well-known St. Lawrence Beauty and Red Niobe. 
Robertson's Red Dolly that came late was given an extra 
first. Geo. Douglas's entries were absentia this class. The 
Clumbers made a brave showing in numbers but the quality 
was not what it should be; the general run of them is small, 
not long nor deep enough|in body and too prone to snipiness 
in muzzle. In open dogs the white Friar Boss loses in 
length and shape of head to Endcliffe Buster, second, who is 
getting into better form. In bitches Newcastle Kennel's 
Reckless Friar scored well enough from her kennel mate, 
Meta, who loses considerably in muzzle, length and depth of 
body, but Endcliffe Fairy, vhc, to be consistent, should have 
been placed, better head and body than second. The Irish 
water spaniels were good. Musha arrived too late but was 
given an extra first. In the regular competition, Dennis 
scored well over Mike O'Donohue iu head. In bitches, the 
clean faced Belva (Dr. Kent's) was placed over Miss Green's 
Venus, as at New York; Kitty of Cork getting reserve. 
Marguerite, being one of the delayed, was afterwards 
awarded an extra first. Wee Wah Kennel's good team of 
fields was correctly awarded the kennel prize for best of any 
one variety, and Baby Ruth was considered the best Ameri- 
can-bred spaniel, and with Commodore, took the St. Law- 
rence Trophy for cockers, and Scandal walked off with the 
Say brook Trophy for best American-bred field spaniels. 
The exhibit of collies but for the presence of the Wood- 
lawn Park Kennels would have been poor compared to 
former years. Highland Floss looking fairly well, was the 
only challenge entry. Woodlawn Park's Woodmansterne 
Trefoil being in better coat, scored over his kennel mate, 
Hadfield Don, who appeared for the first time. He has a 
nice long intelligent head, good ears, but his gait is rather 
mincing and not free enough, and lie looked a bit light in 
body, being short of coat, When he gets his full coat he is 
bound to take some beating. Otterburn Chriss, third, has a 
very fair head but is small sized, and should be better rib- 
bed—a good coated black, white and tan. Blarney Stone, re- 
serve, is a nice headed one, but falls away behind. The 
others were a mixed lot and were more or less coarse in 
head. The bitch class was a better one all round, and 
Stannard's Lady Gay repeated her Chicago and Pittsburgh 
victories, and therefore Ormskirk Susie had to play second 
fiddle again, while the same kennel's Hempstead Dorothy, 
gone off in head, had to be content with third money; Crystal 
(J.McDonald's), a.nice. shaped one, short of coat, took reserve. 
A lot of mentioned ones followed, and among them I 
liked the vhc. F. Flannigan's xvlaud, a good coated one. 
The prize was withheld from the dog puppy, and in bitches 
a densely coated pretty headed one in McEwen and Gibson's 
Heroine won well. Woodlawn Park Kennels of course took 
the kennel prize, and Lady Gay theN. E. K. C. Cup for best 
American bred. 
Old English sheepdogs were out in force, Mr. F. A. Watson 
making a bold bid for supremacy and he succeeded in upset- 
ting the New York awards by winning with Sir Charles over 
Boxer III., who was hot in good shape and is soft in coat. 
Coats have changed so in these dogs, but Sir Charles strikes 
me as being more like the old sort. In bitches Woodlawn 
Park's Mayoress of Newport beat the New York winner, 
Clarissa and Trilby, from F. A. Watson's kennel, the latter 
a red and white daughter of Sir Charles. 
Poodles, always strong at Boston, were in no way inferior 
this year. And the meeting of Rajah, Diamond and Vivette 
gave rise to keen competition, the bigger coarser dog getting 
the verdict, with the Brown Diamond reserve. There were 
no corded poodles shown. In open black curlies, after get- 
ting rid of the rack, competition narrowed down to three or 
four, Carnot eventually being tried out with Emperor, both 
from the. Meadowmere Kennels, and succeeded in taking the 
blue. He is a larger dog with more substance than Emperor, 
but the latter is better in set on of stern, loin, and general 
symmetry. The Meadowmeres scored first, second and 
reserve in bitches, with the Morey Kennels vhc, with 
Cigarette and Selina. In browns the Hill Hurst Kennels 
had all the classes to themselves, the well known Poobah 
scoring well over Jocko in open dogs, but in bitches Hill 
Hurst Posey can beat the winner, H. H. Fluff, in head and 
curl; Bellone, mixed in color, getting reserve to the young- 
sters. This kennel showed a very pretty lot of puppies that 
should go like hot cakes. 
Bulldogs, as usual, here made an interesting exhibition, 
and quality was even stronger than ever. His Lordship 
and Saleni were the challenge winners, White Venn coming 
in reserve to the latter. In open heavy dogs, King Orry, m 
much better shape than at New York, won easily enough 
beating Reve Royal in layback, shoulder, length from eye to 
ear, break up between the eyes and ears. Dr. Rush is a 
rather coarse headed dog, not out enough at shoulder. 
Bucknall Gipsey had no difficulty in beating Holly, who is 
long-faced. The dark Heathen won in open light weight 
dogs and the judge was consistent in placing his son 
Heathen II. (H. E. Uonverse) second; barring his faulty hind 
parts and legginess I liked Nugget better; African Monarch, 
well out at shoulder, was a close reserve. Juno II. (Wood- 
lawn Park Kennels) won easily in the bitch class and Lud's 
Boy was well to the front in puppies. The special between 
King Orry and His Lordship created much excitement, al- 
though those who have followed the shows expected the ulti- 
mate result; King Orry won. While King Orry excels in 
breadth of underjaw, is better broken up and has more 
length from eye to ear, in general finish 1 lite the other dog, 
especially in true shape of body and action and height from
