The entries for the third annual bench
show Of dogs to be hold. under the auspices Of
tho Westminster Kennel Club. at Gilmore's
Garden from the 9Th to the nth Of April. closed

who waited for tho appearance Of the special
prize lists to enter their dogs and TO accommo-
date out-of-town exhibitors. the lists will be
kept open until T. NJ. Monday. 1t is hoped
that the extension OF time will not result in
moro than 100 moro dogs being entered. At 4
r. NJ yesterday Mr.. Lincoln the supcrntrnd-
emit announced that 10 his knowledge over 800
dogs had been already entered and that there

Tho Office ot the superintendent. III Fulton
street, was literally brsi"gcd yesterday by n-
dies and gentlemen. grooms and dog fanriers.
All wanted entry hlgnks and Information. and
the patience Of Mr. Lincoln and the m1uugcrs
was sorcly taxed. II was difficult e. obtain u
glimpse Mt the entry books. but cursory eN-
animation OF them gave some grat lying inior-
nation. In the sporting clus-rs tho entries
snow conclusivey that America Is nroaly
rcaping the fruits Of bcnch shows. Therc is
ample evidence that serious attention is now
paid to breeding dogs in this country. The On.
tries in the puppy classes show TINT lovers uf
dogs encourage only the best strains OF ami

dams for breeding purposes. In the nuu-Suprt-
Ing classes. the fox terrier. 81. B"ruurd. Italian
