THE Oct. 27.

KENNEL.DOGS AND THEIR OWNERS-

Mr. Wyndham Carter, proprietor and editor«f the Kfin- as h«i» good deal to »»y»bout the I know Mr. Carter byr»r-".> •> --• .aabblea with tte Eng-I ;ison and others bring-i into notoriety. It u thef i ia America that the reports<• ,a Ktrifie are the meet con-; ' " ' ' " '-Lips ofi >. iueh

to the reader oauuot be judged as we judge our American report*. Anything which tends to weak.' hurts the paper. If we Ind and animosity in the tdltoi.... .1, ' -"•• • ••>•• may look '°r ^ a'so >n tike dog stow repvrtj and elsewhere. For that reason I regretted feeing such bitter attacks on I• prominent and respected fancier like Mr. George Krehl, and, as the only personal friend of that gentleman in the country, I felt it my duty to controvert the insinuations respecting his character.

The result was a letter sent to this piper for publication, in which an attempt was made to draw a comparison between Mr.Krehl aud Daiziel and my remark- made from time to time upon the latter. Tho parallel is fallacious, and Mr. Carter cannot attack persons in that manner as long as I hare the casting vote. Insinuation is not proof, and nothing but the former has ap­ peared with reference to Mr. Krehl. If Mr. Carter can furnish conclusive evidence that Mr. Krchl either has poisoned, or been connected with the poisoning of any person's dogs, then it will appear in THE SPORT INS LIFE, but sneak- Ingly hinting that such and such is the case won't make Mr. Krehl's legion of friends waver «n« inch.

Mr. Carter thought he had me In a tight place when I amended what I had previously said about Spntt'i biacuiU, and was very funny (?)•v«r my tack. At the lame time he gave Spratt's particular fits and said space had been denied the firm in his advertising columns. I•barged my opinion because, after a fair test, my dogs did well on the biscuits. A man who 1» not open to conviction of that sort is a fool. Mr. Carter seemingly changes his tune because•e gels a front-page "ad." Ihe turn about is to conspicuous that even the Turf, Field aa<l farm tumbled to it.

* . •"The Outrider" h w a milder letter this month,

and we are treated by Arnold Burgea to•ketches of Eng'fsh judges from the Reverend J. C. Macdot.a to Dalziel. Macdona was a clean beat, and wine,women and song were the recrea­ tions of this model dog-dealing clergyman. Mr. I/ort has a different reputation altogether, and thorough integrity is his strong point. In the case of Buries ve. Lort I think plaintiff must be nonsuited. Why docs Surges omit flordoa Stables.' He was king as a dealer, and 1 ean positively assure my readers that it was hit offer to judge in highland costume that caused his being 'elected to accompany Daliiel to America in 1880.

« * » *Brother Richards says the Foi Terrier Club

to a member of the A. K. C. Not just yet. It•robably will be, because "they are all good fel- tw«,"tmt there is one vote cast against their ad­ mittance in answer to the circular dated Oct. 19, asking for members' votes. I have seen the Fox Terrier Club rules, and the club is not organized In accordance with the requirements of the A. K. C. constitution, which require? that the club•ball be organized solely for tho purpose of hold­ ing dog shows. That clause was made hard and last for the purpose of keeping out tho Spaniel Club, forernnner of the Fox Terrier Club, and it It a bad rule that can be made to work two ways.

Mr. Child, of the credentials committee, thought the terrier men's rules could be con-•trne.fi to fit the case, but if they had not been

"elegant zerUleiaen" I doubt if somu^h found in the very -"•• jf the club,

r the infor-•ati A.K. C. sec­ retary twj weeks ago for distribution among the•embers had not been sect out, as least Mr. Child had not received a copy. An explana- frotn the secretary is in order.

« . *An assessment of ?10 has been ordered on all

elnbs belonging to the A. K. C. Tola call, dated Oct. 11, was m.iilcd on Oct. 20, and as the rule it "A cluh failing to pay said assessment within iixty days from date of notice shall forfeit rep­ resentation," it becomes a question a? to which day is the day of notice—that placed on the cir­ cular i,r t<ie date the circular was mailed. My friends, it is this way the ——— Kennel Club will have to be governed by the date of the cir­ cular; any other club can pay when it likes.

Mr. Hopf, owner of the St. Bernard Champion Otho, writes with reference to the whelping of Marjery's litter of eight bitch pups: "I was•orry ti. hear of such bad luck, but I don't think your theory as expressed in THE SPORTISO

Tbe Rhode Island Kennel Clnb and its Spring Show.

PnoviDESCE, R. I., Oct. 20.— -Editor SPORT- ISO LIFE: — The Rhode Island Kennel Club held a special meeting Saturday evening which was largely attended, and for three hours the mem­ bers discussed the present business before the club and its future, which is tinged with more than roseate hues. The club, as will be remem­ bered, was chartered by last winter's general as­ sembly, organized under the charter with Mr. Walter Comstock ai president and Mr. Nath. Seabury and a boird of officers that are workers all through. The first thing done was to be ad­ mitted as a member of the American Kennel Club, which embraces all the leading clubs in the country, and then attention was turned to home mat­ ter*. Arrangements were mado to hold a bench show in Providence the coming spring, and Sa'urday evening the club to^k st^p* looking toward this show. Already 200 entriea liavetien pledged for t Us event, and if the dates are fixed for the show to come between ilartford and Doston, the only trouble will be in finding a hall large enough to boll the mauy en­ tries and give room for Ibe puUic. The club have se­ cured commodious room* in the central part of the city; these have been elegantly furnished and fittcil up with comfortable furnishing?, and the opening will take place very soon Saturday evening a number of new members wera admitted, and tbe applications for membership are coining in so freely that a limit to the Dumber was fixed. In the club are airtady own**'! more than savouty-fcjur dog*, all of fine breed. The club bas l-e^mi U;.-inr^ as they can carry it oat, and tbi : ry bright. The present members t the commi:tee to arrange for t K. w . ....-_, .._.- --- f will be made up of s;°':;iemeu who i'uljy understand their buttneu

.'t will do their work wall.

A Show at Greensbnrg, Pa.A bench show was held 11, week ago at Oreens-

mrg, Pa. The show waa limited to dogs owned n the county, and was tried as an experiment.

The result was a surprise to the management. There were 125 entries. Noxt year competition will be open for the entire State, and perhups or the world. The judging was satisfactorily jerformed by Mr. Chas. L. Diek, of Johnstown, tnd Mr. Joseph Lewi?,of C'annonsburg. Awards:

THE BILLIARD-ROOM )iOISE SUBDDEe."Joiix CBCiifis, cf the Cuntinentjl Hut<>l,PliiUikl-

pliia, haa inrt-nted an impr-)vei:i"nt in billiard cues for preventing noise. Nearly all billiard-nlajers, anil ci-rtainly all room-keeper?, are awarj of ths intoler- alile noise that »erv many billiard and tearly every pool player makes f>om time to time wbile engaged in a friendly coii'.Ml. To sach an nt-.<nt ia thu carried on at times that U not onlj becomes a great annoyance to those who may wish ti play uudis- tnibed, that many ratrona of a room leave it simply on this accouut, while the room-keeper from timo to time-is oblige*! to perform one °f the most diaagrfe- ablenf all duties- •that of proliibitinz men from patron- i/.ini his tsublishment for nuking ihis very none in thtir enthusiasm at an imaginary fine e hot, or, if it should turn out to be a mere WTattli,' tbe noiio becomes half rnaddeiiin?. Heretofore tbe only remedy for ench bniineM was for the room-keep! r to 'lo exactly what we have slated. In all well regulated e«tubiisbmenta the noise in, of course, prevented as much aj possibl*1 , but never to snob, an extent as it should be, tijip'y locau^e it is an utter impossibility to entirely pieveut it. There are tome rmiins, it i» true, where players can make all the noiee they choose, withont receiving any admonition or warning from Use owaer. It is uot liing, however, un f.il tbe piayi-rs find out that the only one lioteniitg to them ia the proprietor, and when they utice make thia discov­ ery, the proprietor BO«U learni that even tb«-e who drove all hi* customers away l>y their eccentricity and litile variations In the fhapu of noise, no longor fro- quent his place of btiitiness, or rather bit* place without any busines?, for they prefer to be ruled in ft room wk-ere there is plenty of life an-1 b'ltints:* to ruling in one where there I'B neitiier one nor the other. BiMiarl room^ are like any other business e*ti'jlwhraent, they mi;st be managed on a business basis. The moment this is forgotten and the owner or manager becomes n sort of a 'go as yon pleese' crea­ ture, without enough life cr animation to try and make bnaiseaj, the soonrr liis room is 'To Let' the more money will be in the owner's pocket. The imrrove- went for cues referred to is very simple. It ia made of rubber and is fastened to the butt end of the cue by means of a screw and cement, making tbe end of the cue with the 'Xuise J*uMu<r' on very mnch more solid than tbe point of the cuo where the leather la, or, if not more solid, the improvement cannot, like tbe lip, be kn->cked off.''— Pht !>:>la. tinntli't Mer<-i<ry.
