The show Is q novelty here and old and
young, rich and poor, crowd TO the rink to
see the dogs. The tastes of the two sexes re-
garding caninos are very dissimilar. The
men loitcr around the kennels of tho
pointers and settlers, but the feminine Wis
itors pay their attention almost entirely to
tho pugs, spaniels, and other fancy
dogs. The bulldog exhibit attracts
notice from all classes, however. The women
see them TO shudder ut their responsiveness, the
men examine them ut a safe distance, and the
members of the sporting fraternity 60 into
ecstacies over their many points Of beauty
that their educated (2) eyes can discover.
The dog in the show, however, which Sc
cures the most encOmiums on account of his
beauty is Berkeley the red Irish setter, who
occupies kennel 135. He is large, well
formed, docile animal, with q rich, glossy
coat that shines with lovely brilliancy. Berk-
ley is also very fine field dog, having won
two field trials in the north. In 1881 Mr..
Whitford killed'sixty-three quail over Berk-
ley in single day. lie belongs to A. II.
Moore, the Philadelphia millionaire, whose
chief hobby is dogs.
In kennel 1856 is Biz, belonging to John s.
Mcintosh, of Pittsburg. He has won five first
prizes at bench shows and three field trials.
His owner values him at the modest sum of
$4,000 and he looks as If he were conscious
of his Importance.
Kennel lis reveals picture of domesticity,
as it contains DIR. Il. X. Goldsborough's hand
some English setter Belle, with five puppies
about two weeks old Belle is one of the finest
bird dogs in the city, and is probably the
youngest head of family, as only eleven
months have passed over her head.
There are numerous pugs who are great
tricksters. Mrs. Fowler's Toby can do almost
everything save talk, and Tout Tout, the
valuable pet of Miss May johnson, has wide
fame for his intelligence. Tho general re-
mark yesterday was upon the very large
number of dogs on exhibition. This is true !;
In fact there are enough animals quartered in
the rink to keep a sausage factory running
for ten months. .... ..'.ra.-7.,..

Bob is placard. Bob will receive ON Tues
day, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday" and
the handsome fellow receives any amount of
petting accordingly.
Another Washington dog that is greatly ad-
mired is Frank, the English setter belonging
TO Mr.. G. w. Gross, of The REPUBLICAN,,
Franks kennel is decorated with V. II. @.
diploma, awarded to him in 1879 at the West
minister kennel club show. Frank is also
famous rs n retriever and mauy of the best
dogs in the city owe him filial affection.
An entry which attracts much attention is
the group of beagles owned by Gen. L. A.
Bond of Jessups, Md. They are noted for
their feetness and each one of the form re-
ceived prize yesterday. Pottinger Dorsey's
beagles are also considered remarkable ami
mails. The Hon. John Il. Kenna secured the
first prize for hounds with Gamester, a large,
maniicently formed animal Of the purest
blood. The young senator elect owns pack
of twenty-four hounds which he amuses him
self with when recreating from the cares of
official life. t...rI o H. .lsdm!l 5n. l..

as on Tuesday. All day long and until 1880
last night Messrs. Mason and Watson decided
upon the merits of the various entries, and
the yelps, whines, howls, and barks of uncom-
Portable CANNES made perfect Babel. The
frightened girl was out in force, and the young
man who don't pug from a Skye terrier, or a
breech loading shotgun from u muzzle load
ing howitzer were plentfully present criticiz-
ing the animals, and pointing out their de-
fects and blemishes. They gave every one
pointers" mot the hairy one, but the
methaphorical Variety regarding the best
kinds of dogs, and made themselves as con-
spiculously as possible. They also smoked
| incessantly, to the great annoyance of ami
mails and visitors. 1t is to be hoped that the
management will insist upon an enforcement
Of the rules prohibiting smoking, as the fumes
| irritate the dogs and are not particularly
| pleasant to the ladies' who are, by the way,
largely in the majority. General regret was
expressed yesterday that Mr.. Moore's entries
had been withdrawn from competition, but
Mr. Fox, his agent, refused to allow any of
| the Gordon or Irish settlers to be Judged by
Mr.. Mason. The judges were. the same as
yesterday, Mr., G, IL, Mason for the classes of
sporting dogs, and Mr.. James Watson in the
| other classes,
