Interest Increasing in the
Best Display Ever Given
in the West.

in the evening the building was well
| filled. There were many ladies
present, and considerable interest
! was evinced by all in the beautiful
/ canine specimens on exhibition. The
j huge, gaunt-looking, shaggy-haircd
| deerhoundS were source of cOnsidera-
bic amusement. and many people failed
! to grasp the breed of the dog. Those on
exhibition are, with two exceptions, the
property of S. w. Skinner, Jr., of Ohio,
vino is represented by Z. B. Lee. These
hounds are noted for their hunting
| qualities. and may be used for hunting
! wolves as well as deers. They have
| been largely used for this purpose out
| West. The ST Bernards were the next
! point of interest, and of this breed there
| is a large and excellent display. The
rough coated animals were strongest in
number. and included the champion
bitch, Lady AthOl. This animal is
| the property of r. J. Sawyer,
of MenOminee, Mich, and is an
importation. having taken prizes at the
| leading English shows and the first
Prize at New York. In the open class
for dogs the Hiawatha kennels, owned
bv J. f. Stryker, secured first prize.
| with FolkO second, who was the winner
last year. and is weil-Shaped, big
boned dog of considerable promise.
The first prize for rough-cOated st. Ber-
nard bitches fell to Thorn, owned 10y
W. II. Dent. of Iowa, a whelp OF last
year by FOlkO, out of Barrina. Torle,
from the Hiawatha kennels, also OF the
FOlkO strain, carried Off the first prize
N THE PUPPY CLASS.

great favOrites in this country, and
the past six weeks Mr.. Morton. of New
York. purchased the champion of En-
gland. PlinlumiOn, for 5000.
The small dogs. also, attracted much
attention. Fox terriers made a good
show, but the individual exhibits of
Louis W. Hill, of St. Paul. in these
| classes were some very capital stock.
Nick. who secured first prize in the dog
class, is a well-marked. evenly bal
anced animal; has a good head,
carries both ears well and stands i'll
every way model terrier. The bitch
class for fox terriers is good show,
but in this Fly, very comely looking
animal. property of Louis W. Hill, was
placed second to Zero, a rOugh-cOated
terrier. owned by w. II. B. Medd. of
hardwood. 10. Fly is by Nick-Cham-
pion Thistle. The fox terrier pup
pies class contained some very prOmis-
ing dogs. the exhibits being chiefly
those of w. Ii. B. Medd and
Louis w. Mill, the latter breeding
largely from the Nick strain. There
were two Yorkshire terriers on exhibit
ton, owned by Mrs. Thomas Race, of
st. Paul. These were accommodated
| in one pen, which had been gaily decor
| ated with curtains and was a show in
itself. The care and attention paid
these little animals was the source of
considerable speculation among the
lady element.
Cocker spaniels are as pleasing and
sharp dogs as any sportsman need re-
quire. There is a very nice show of
this breed, and of which the Brant
| cocker kennels are chief prize takers.
! These kennels are represented by L. Is.
| Lee, of Toledo, O., and their champion
Im0 ID is most prolific prize winner,
! having secured first and special pre-
| miumS both in this country ana in En-
| gland. The Brant kennels carried off
| the first prizes in all the cocker classes,
excepting that for puppies. in which
the only exhibit is that of the OsceOla
| kennels. which has a good entry OF
| these animals.
COlleS are a WellrepreSented class,
the Chestnut Hill kennels being the
most prominent exhibitors. These KEN
nels are represented by 3. +. Lewis, of
| Philadelphia. prominent exhibitor and
| agent at all the shows on the American
| continent. There are but six collieS
| entered, and four are those of the
| Chestnut Hill kennels. They in
| cude the champion collie dog and
bitch. ScotilIa and Furry ii, and Char
| leroi IL. winner of the open dog class.
and FURRY III, first in the open bitch
i class. The surprise of the day was the
adjudication of Furry Ill. who is by
| collie exhibited, thus placing the bitch
beyond Scotilla the recognized cham
! piOn of the country.
Yesterdays judging took in tine
transporting classes and the awarding
! of the special prizes. Charles n. Mason,
| of New York, was the judge of the non
sporting animals, and by 2:30 O'Clock he
had completed his duties, with. so far
as a curSOry glance of the exhibits
could ascertain, perfect impartiality
| In the evening there was parade of
the prize winners, when Charles We'll.
| of Cincinnati O.. who is the Superin-
| te ndent of the show, briefly explained
the merits of each animal. His remarks
were received with evident interest by
a crowd of people who
GATHERED ROUND THE RING.
This parade is a novel feature in a
! bench show. but is a desirable one, as il
| enables visitors TO secure better and
more accurate view of the points of the
prize winners. J. w. We'll is to be com
plimented for this innovation and for
| the excellent detailed arrangements of
| the show, which compare favOrably
| with the best shows in the country.
Paul Gotham, who runs the Elm ken
nels, has purchased the water spaniel,

Ond prizes, and will prove a valuable
addition to this kennel. The awards
