Notice OF the death OF the famous pointer
dog Hp-Rap was sent a week ago from
Bar Harbor, and some of the young men
of the kennel press who had heard of that
dog hashed UP something In the way of an
obituary Rip Rap Joined the majority
many years ago. having been born In 1883.
The dog owned at Bar Harbor was Rip
hap 8 son. young Rp-Rap, and out OF the
famous dam PEARLS Dot. Young Rip-Rap
was whelped eleven years ago and was
at the head of the pointer kennels owned
by Mr.. Charles r. Pineo. lawyer OF Bar
Harbor. who has long been known in con-
nection with the breed Old Rip Rap was
the founder of a famous family and was
bred by the late Edward Dexter of Bug
kennels in Virginia the dogs being under
the care and training OF Maj. McMurdo.
Rip-Rap was bred by M Dexter being by
his imported dog. King Of Kent, out of
Hops, also Imported. IL is TO MIR. Dexter
we owe the two pre-eminent lines or FAM
lies OF pointers. for not only did he breed
Rip-Rap. but he also owned handspring,
and from him bred lingo out of his Queen
III, by his imported Pontiac. From King
OF Kent we not only got Rip-Rap, but also
Hal Pointer. Strtdeaway, Tick Boy. X. c.
Kent, Kent Elgtn and several others. From
the other strain lingo. we have had young
lingo. Lad Of lingo, Dots lingo. Two Spot,
Count Cyrano, Sister Sue and others.
Pearls Dot was a wonderful bitch. rank
Ing with the most prepotent or dams In
any breed of animals. She threw prom-
nent field trials winners, no matter to
what dog mated Bred to lingo she had
Young lingo and to Ril)-Rap she was still
more successful in throwing young Rip
Rap, Ripstone, Ripple and Dots Pearl who
in turn is the dam OF Lad Of lingo Two
Spot and Jingos Pearl, besides others OF
only lesser mark at field trials. Pearls
Dot was Of the Croxtetl lire and he was
descendant OF the great dog Bang. whose
preponderating influence in the formation
of the pointer family is one of the most
remarkable facts in all dog history. You
cannot get away from Bang in tracing back
the pedigrees OF our good pointers and tho
better the pointer is, whether for show
or work, the more certain is II that he is
well inbred to that wonderful dog Bang.
It is such long time since we have had
any Importation Of st. Bernards that the
recent purchases OF Mr. G. Y Glebe OF
Bryn Athyn, Pa, is well worth mentions
ing. The Importation consists Of the smooth
coated bitch, The Kings Daughter, who
ranks as an English champion, and the
rough dog The Princes Jester They are
expected to arrive this week, and OF course
Mr.. Glebe anticipates success with them.
He should certainly have it with The Kings
Daughter, for she Is good one and has
been bred to The Viking, also exceed--
ingly good English dog.
