THE aLENMoRE KENNEL.

The Champion Irish Settlers of Americs
to be Located in Los Angeles.
As exclusively announced in the HER
AID several days since, this county will
shortly be able to boast of one ol
the most famous kennels in America.
Mr.. Bishop, the celebrated sportsman
of Cincinnati, has decided to locate his
Glenmore kennels near Los Angeles.
He has just purchased the pick of the
world renowned Kildare kennel. Mr..
w. L. Washington, the founder OF
the Kildare kennel, writes as follows to
the Forest and Stream regarding the
deal whereby Los Angeles will get the
greatest Irish Setter kennel in America
L have disposed of the greater part of
my kennel of Irish settlers to Mr.. Il. b.
Bishop, of Cincinnati, the owner of the
Glenmore kennels, who is well-known
as the owner of racing stable in
In which are some of Kentucky's finest
running horses, and am happy in the
knowledge of the fact that my dogs
have fallen into the hands Of SO thor
ough sportsman and appreciative a
fancier as Mr.. Bishop is known to be.
Owing to ill health and pressure OF
important business, it was impossible to
for me to give my dogs proper attention,
and unless one gives such matters close
personal supervision, as have found it
impossible to do of late, it is difficult
to attain satisfactory results.
In this deal Mr.. Bishop has ACQUIRED
the celebrated settlers champion Ruby
Glenmore, champion Molly Bawn,
champion Winnie II, Sarsfield, Bess p, /,
Dan Mylrea, etc., and 1 have retained
only the challenge dog Kildare and
North Blyth for my own private shoot
ing. 1t will be remembered that Mr..
Bishop purchased from me short time
since the well-known challenge dog
Beau Brummell, son of champion El-
cho j., and a litter brother to Kildare,
together with Belle Aurea, and in this
connection it may be mentioned that
Belle Aurea has just whelped fourteen
beautiful puppies sired by Beau Brum-
nell.
With this string of dogs Mr.. Bishop
no doubt owns the grandest collection
of Irish settlers that have ever been
brought together in this country, and
his claim to now own the Champion
Irish setter kennel of America is based
on fact and not on bombast, for
the Kildare kennels which were
formerly composed of these dogs
have for the past two years reigned su-
preme on the American show bench,
having never suffered defeat as ken
mel ,and met in competition all kennels OF
Irish settlers under any and all judges.
They have never been defeated in the
challenge bitch class, in the puppy class,
or for the brace prize, and they have
won over three-fourths of the open class
first prizes for which they have COM
peted, they have won the challenge,
open, brace and kennel prizes at New
York in 1890 and 1891, and it may be
further added that the field merit OF
these dogs will compare favorably with
any Irish settlers in America.
Mr.. Bishop will, as soon as he has re-
covered from recent accident, remove
to his farm near Los Angeles, California,
where he will locate the Glenmore
kennels, but he will send his string
through the eastern circuit the coming
season in charge of Joe Lewis, and am
confident that they will lose none oi
their well-earned prestige.
Twill also mention that am assisting
Mr.. Bishop in further strengthening his
kennels, and you may look out for big
surprise in, the near future. The Glen
more kennels, as have the Kildare ken
nels, stand now at the top, and they will
maintain that position at any cost. Ar
rangements will be made with one oi
our leading field trial handlers and ken
nelmen to take entire charge of the
Glenmore kennels Irish settlers at Los
Angeles, which country am informed
is full of quail, and they will be regu-
larly represented at the leading field
trials as we'll as on the bench. 1t will
also be arranged for draughts of the young
stock to be sent east each season for
disposal. In word Mr.. Bishop will leave
nothing undone to further the true in
terests Of the breed and to maintain his
position as the owner of such good
kennel.
AS for myself, l shall not lose any Of
the interest have always had in the
Irish setter, and shall never be without
a few good specimens, and as soon as
my health and business will permit,
shall again take prominent part in
breeding them
