Secretary Folger and ladies. Senator Rid
dleberger and ladsc, Secretary Lincoln
und Senators Beck, Bayard, and Pen
dleton. Senator Beck is an ardent admire
of hunting dogs and at his special re
quest tho celebrated kennel o
Leesburg pointers were brought on
into the judges room. The senator
was particularly struck with "Frita' and
said he was the handsomest dog he had evei
seen, and ought to win always whether in thu
field or in bench show. The pug contes
brought out an unusually large number o
ladies, and as there were only few of thest
beauties that could be winners, there were
scores of disappointed fair ones who knew
that their dogs were entitled TO tho prize
and they made faces at the Judge and car
essed their darling5 with redoubIed energy tt
console them for their defeat.

In the class of Gordon settlers the fine
black and tan dog Luke failed to receive
either premium or honorable mention. II
may be that his weight barred him from re-
cciving the prize, but his thorough breeding
and fine working qualities with an unim
peaCbabe pedigree, should have procured hin
honorable mention. Probably the oversight
may be remedied in the final report of the
judges. In the region where he was bred
Oswego, n. Y.--his record as hunter and
retriever is second to none, aud he has re-
ccved several prizes at other shows.
