JUDGING AT TIE BENCH sHow-PoPULAR FAVOR
PrcKLE-A SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITION.
The disagreeable weather yesterday, which damp
ened everything else could not aadpen pe sp sbeS
cyinced tendency to take ans abnormal amount OF
sleep, but in other respects they were dong quite
day the largest number of people coming, of course,
in the evening There was to have been trial of
speed of the greyhounds in tho afternoon, but the
judging took so long that IT was postponed until
evening. The pointers, greyhounds, deerhounds,
Judged and the prizes in those classes awarded
The kennels of many OF the prizc-takers received
additional adornment after the decisions OF the
judges had been rendered, and She owners OF the
fortunate dogs lowered III the immediate neighb0r-
hood, and listened with serene satisfaction TO the
comments of the visitors. After q dog has won
prize il is perfectly safe to admire him and call at
tention to his good points Even those whose early
education in regard to dogs has been neglected can
ing over the wrong dog. Thus 1t came about that
many dogs who numbered their admirers 10y nun
dreds on the first day of the show yesterday were
deserted by the tickle crowd, and saw, with feelings
too deep for barks the people who had SAID g9od
doggien and splendid fellow to them the day be
fore, lavshing the same terms OF endearlneht Oh
The deerhonnds. with their silver-gray hair,
muscular tanks and calm, rcsOlnte eyes, attracted
much attention: but somehow there was not such
a general desire to pat them on the head as was
evinced toward some OF the smaller dogs Among
these deerhounds, Archibald Rogers has three dogs
aud bitch all of them remarkably fine specimens:
General W. ID. Whipple, OF Genera! Hancocks stan,
Bruce which has seldom been of OF Governors
Island, and is extremely dignifed The noise ana
confusion around him he seemed 10 regard as de-
cidedly unmilitary, and deserving OF the severest
CensuTe. Even when they awarded him the second
prize in his class, the demeanor of Bruce seemed to
say, Discipline must ne maintained. The YORK
shire terriers and the Skyes always interesting
to every one. What conjunction of circumstances
in the process of evolution it was that produced
combination of so much hair and so little dog will
ALWAYS be a mystery. Among the many interesting
dogs in the Yorkshire terrier class is little silver
blue creature named Mut belonging to MIS- y. b.
WATSON. which is much admired.
The Judging of the st. Demands in the afternoon
was of great interest. There was snAip CONTEST
between L. X. IIearn's Duke of Leeds and the ley:
j. Cumming Macdona's Caliph. There was sad to
be considerable betting as to which dog would take
the prize, some placing the amount at staRe on the
result as high as $4,000. The first prize was
awarded to the Duke of Leeds The greyhound
race which took place in the evening excited as
much interest as anything which has occurred In
the course of the show. 1t was fairly successful.
although the greyhoundS did not seem to realize
what was expected of them and now ana then one
would stop half down the ring, and quietly
walk back TO where he came from. Plows, the
Englshman, who for the last eight years mas re-
ceved the dogs sent 10 the shows. says that there Is
finer lot of dogs in this show than he ever received
