The tenth annual bench show of the West
Minister Kennel Club at the Madison Square
Garden is perhaps not so much place OF
fashionable resort this year as it has been in
other seasons but that is where the fashionable
peOple make a mistake. No other show has
been SO we'll worth seeing This is al exhibition
of even excellence, all classes being well
1epresented. The absence Of a crowd has Its
advantages, for it gives people who go be-
cause they really love fine dogs, a better chance
to admire mans most faithful friends.
Henceforth it cannot be said that W. +.
