anu the HemDstead Farm kennels Long

Morgan for 81 500.
August Belmont, Jr., takes great inter

stead contains team which would com
pletely smother any similar one in England.
He has purchased, regardless of expe Sc, but
at the same time with exc client Judgment.
His champions, Rachel, Lucifer, Bacchante.
Duskey, Trap, and New Forest Ethel, are
collectively the best the world can produce.
Fred Hoey is another noted owner,
IS champion Valet being well known,
but the Oldest breeders are the Messrs.
rutherford who have been breeding these
terriers for over ten years, their Royal,
Spla ger, and Diana being names of dogs
which are well known. Edward Kelly, son
of the banker, has also invested largely in
this breed. The Beverwyek kennels of
Albany will also show a strong hand. Mr.

and competition Is now very keen. Beagle
classes will be strong when such kennels as
the Somerset, Benardsvllle, N. j., and Mr.
Waketields Providence r. l., show their
best, including the dogs Storm Cloud, Hope,
Belle and Woodbrook. 1t is conceded in
EHSldld Iudb We CHI nOtQ lne lOrt against
any country with these merry little hunters.
Among the smaller breeds Of terriers aud
pet dogs we are not so well supplied, aud
are still far benind the mother country. DR..

who owns Champion Roscius, and the
issue will lie between the two Kennels
when MIR. Mayhem steps into the Judging
ring.
We are now in such position, with the
stock We have at present in this country,
that we can rely, in most breeds, upon our
own resources. and there is no doubt, if
only proper judgment is exercised in
mating and rearing, that ere many
years pass over our heads, inter
national shows will be held on both
sides Of the pond. when honors
will be easy. Until lately, breeders have
devoted all their energies aud money to pro-
curing the best males, forgetting that to
really improve a fine breed it is Just as
necessary to acquire equally good specimens
on the female sda. This, am glad To aav,
is being remediei, and many of Englani's
choicest canine matrons are turning west
