KENNEL CLUBS AND INDIVIDUAL OWNERS.
10 EDITOR THE HgRALD:--
Permit me TO enlarge upon the just view taken by
you in your Sunday issue as 10 the inequality and
consequent injustice OF permitting kennel ciubs TO
compete at bench shows with individual owners Ut
dogs, and to indicate the adm inistration
OF these exhibitions which must eventually bring
them to grief. rhc primary object Of these shows 10
tho improvement in the breed OF dogs This result 70
accomplished by exciting tho pride and ambition
and It may b. even tho cupidity OF breeders The

competitive elements admitted which necessarily
deprive by far the largest number OF exhibitors IRON
these honors and advantages their interest ceases.
and, tho object IN Wow being rendered impossible the
machinery to accomplish It must OF necessity break
down. Tho real lover OF the dog, who regards him
for himself and mis- virtues ana readily contributed
