 or The Canines a Decided Success-
 More of the Prizes.
 The dog show was in full blast yesterday, especially in the afternoon, when Union l armory presented lively and brilliant scene throneed with patrons all appearing to be greatly enjoying the display. The attend ance included large number of prominent citizens, most of whom were accompanied by ladies. No prize dogs are withdrawn. They remain till the close of the exhibition, so that the show is not broken or decimated but remains intact till the close. Two or three little aristocrats have been withdrawn because they were i'll from over-excitement and alarm at being in the midst of such 8 noisy crowd of their brethren. The judges were judging with unhagging zeal and spirit, and the encIo- sure where the judging was done was thickly surrounded by spectators eagerly watching the proceedings Here and there were owners with their blooded dogs, dragging them along to the placs of judgment, and here and there were dog owners taking back their pets to their pens judgment having been passed upon the merits of the canines. Here were exuItant and satisfied owners whose favorites had taken prizes and whose hopes end expectations had not been disappointed Here were young misses manifesting the utmost delight over pretty, covering, shiver- ing skye terriers or other small pets which were pronounced by the aforesaid young misses sst'too sweet to ive," and over there were ladies shuddering at the fierce aspect of Siberian and other savage looking blood hounds, which were pronounced not fit to have in civilized communi- ties. There were handsomely dress ed boys and girls with their parents hugely enjoying the show and entering with great spirit into the eulogiums some of the animals received. The youthful generation are wild over the dog show and hope the Kennel club men will have more of them and often. Gentlemen expressed much satisfac tion over the prospects that the show will re- suit in better appreciation of aristocratic dogs, especially when compared with ill., favored and common CUTS. The rush of wis. itors was large between b3aud 4 o'clock when the passages between the kennels were often blocked for a minute or two with col lections of spectators.
