prising that somebody has not at
tempted to stage a combined
speciality show on the order of the
Chicago fixture or the combined
terrier shows in New York every
February. Under this plan, the
various clubs share the expenses of
hall. supervision, ETC., and each
club pays and chooses its own judge,
designates classes and allots prem
iums and prize money to suit itself.
There is also a best in show for
every breed participating. This
type Of show is primarily a fan
cier's show and breeders come from
great distances to exhibit, since
the prestige of winning a regional
speciality show of this kind looms
large in many minds.

The recent receipt Of . batch Of
premium lists and entry blanks for
the Florida shows reminds us that
at least one of our local fraternity
had planned on a pleasant winter
in the Florida sun with q dog show
or two for added zest. But poor
Johnny HINES! The cocker stork
just keeps a couple of jumps ahead
of him. Every time he gets the
kennel at Wirehaven Trimmed down
to the point where he can think of
leaving them with somebody else
or taking few of the dogs with
him, they up and have another
litter, or two, or three.
Obedience test trials, obedience
training and obedience specialties
still occupy a large space in the
canine press. This form of sport is
growing by leaps and bounds. At
the international Kennel Club show
at Chicago in March obedience
trials will have a floor and the
whole day to themselves while the
breed judging goes on on q sepa-
rate floor in the big Live Stock
Building. Katherine Wellman, presi-
dent of the New England Dog
Training Glass, will Judge.
The New England Glass has been
invited to put on a special exhibit
ton at Westminster this year, which
answers the question of whether
there will be any added attractions
at the Garden this year, or whether
the two-day ruling will eliminate
all of them.
The Hartford Training Glass is
holding its speciality with the North
Westchester show this year on Mrs.
Sherman Hoyt's estate. This show
attracts annually a great many

that this club has 20 rapidly forged

and amazing good looks were discov-
cred by bench show patrons, it was
inevitable that he should become q
pet and companion and should be
bred for bench virtues rather than
field performance.
More English Settlers.
Added to his attractions as q pet
and bench dog was a reputation for
Observation-Disclosures and difnculty in
the field, which made those inter-
ested in this branch of the sport
rather wary of the Irish setter as a
field dog. It wasn't long before both
the pointer and the English setter
far outnumbered and outpointed the
Irishman as a utility dog. While
the Irish setter polls a much higher
registration in the American Ken
mel Club and American field dog
studbooks, the working gun dog
registry records almost four times
as many English as Irish settlers.
However, just recently there has
been a concerted effort to bring
the Irish setter back to its rightful
place as gun dog. The utterly I'M
deserved reputation for hard-head-
edness has been refuted again and
again and. the rapidly increasing
appearance of bench dogs in the field
trials and the acquisition of the
double championship by some of
them, has helped to bring about q
renaissance of the breed.
Black Hairs Taboo.
The Irish setter should have q
long, lean head with an oval skull
and well-developed occipital pro-
tuberance. A moderately deep and
square ended muzzle ending in a
chocolate brown or mahogany nose,
and hazel eyes, and fine, moderately
long, low-set ears complete the
head.
A long, muscular, gracefully
arched neck slopes into well-laid
back shoulders A deep chest, we'll
sprung ribs, moderately long body
sloping from shoulders to set on
of tail, and strong, muscular legs
and feet make up the ideal Irish
setter body. A straight, fine, silky
coat, short on the head, ear tips and
fronts of legs and long elsewhere,
with deep feathering on backs Of
legs and tail is the ideal. In color,
even few black hairs are taboo. A
golden chestnut or deep mahogany
are desired. White on chest, throat,
toes, forehead or nose do not dis
qualify, but are not desirable.

Not much is known about the
origin of the Irish setter. One Eng
lish authority states that it is the
Oldest pure bred of the setter breeds,
but offers no proof of its opinion.
Red spaniels were mentioned as far
back as the 18th century, but present
conformation of the breed would
lead one to suspect that there is as
much pointer as spaniel in the Irish
mans makeup. Some authorities
claim that pointer, English and Cor
don setter, as well as dash of the
red spaniel probably made the for
mula.
Beyond a question, Irish settlers
of the last century were as often
red and white or white and red as
they were solid red. The occasional
whelping of an all-black puppy in
a pure-bred Irish litter would indi-
cate that there may be Gordon
setter somewhere in the family tree.
The black Irish have always been
p, dominant strain.
Bred for Utility.
Even at the Birmingham Dog
Show held in 1860 there were sep
arate classes for Irish settlers. In
1875 at the Dublin show there was
an etnry of Sc settlers, of which %
were red and white. In Cork, in
1876, there were 90 Irish settlers, of
which So were red and white. AS
the beauty of the dark, solid red be-
came more and more apparent with
the breeding for show conformation,
the parti colors lost in popularity.
Now, while small patch on the
breast or tiny star or blaze in the
forehead do not disqualify an Irish
setter for show honors, they certain
ly do not add to his chances.
Sadly enough, it was the Irish set
ter's beauty that almost proved to
be his undoing. Like all other gun
dogs, he was primarily bred for
utility, and his forebears were grand
shooting dogs. The first American
bench champion, Elcho, was not only
an outstanding specimen of the
breed, but was also. great shooting
dog and the sire of IL field-trial
champions. But when his lovable
disposition, intriguing personality

Probably the greatest number of
hobbies fall into one of two groups,
collections or handicraft work, but
Frank H. Wildung has an avocation
which combines these two. He col
lects and uses woodworking tools.
In 1884 Mr.. and Mrs. Wildung
moved into their new home at 708
Butternut street NV, and Mr..
Wildung started his hobby with the
purchase of few hand tools. Find
ing woodworking to his liking, he
bought a bench saw as his first
power tool. When he later acquired
a lathe he started searching for some
satisfactory lathe tools. He must
have had something very particular
in mind, because he was not content
with the ordinary tools on the
market.
The search was continued while on
a trip to New England, and while
there Mr.. Wildung answered an
advertisement in a small Vermont
newspaper He found just what he
wanted among the effects of a 90
year-old cabinetmaker who had died
recently. Also among these tools
were a large number of old wooden
planes, and Mr.. Wildung bought one
of them as curiosity. On his return
home he showed the old plane to a
friend. A short time later this
friend brought him a second plane
When a third old plane was given
him he was definitely launched as a
collector.
Plane Used in 1872.
Mr.. Wildung now has 425 planes,
representing a fairly complete his
tory of this important tool. In some
cases he knows the story of par
ticular plane. For example, there is
one which came to him with a letter
from c. T. Cundall of Westerly, R. L.,
who said the plane had belonged to
his grandfather, Isaac Cundall Of
Newport, r. l., in 1872. Isaac Cum
dali used the plane in making ma
chimes for carding wool in a factory
he built that year.
The development of planes from
early types to the most modern may
be traced in Mr.. Wildung's collection.
ALI old-time planes were made, ex-
cept for the blade, entirely of wood.
Mr.. Wildung has them of almost
every conceivable design, size and
use. As we approach the present in
this collection, the planes contain
more and more metal, until by grad
ual steps we reach those of today,
having only the handles of wood.
Beautiful Examples.
Among the special planes is a set
used for stair ratings. The art of
building spiral stairs Is almost lost
today, and all stair ratings are ma
chine made, but in the time when
these planes were used the beautiful
stairs we see in old houses were all
handmade on the spot and fire.
quently with the wood in place be-
fore being shaped. A few of the
other special items are coopers'
planes for making barrels, bull
nose planes, horn planes (having the
front handle shaped like horn and
modelers' planes.
Although the design of the horn
plane is quite old, it is still in use
today among European cabinet max
ers and Mr.. Wildung has a nice set
Of these modern planes. They are
truly beautiful examples of modern
workmanship and skill and prove
that the wooden plane still has q
