A finer collection OF dogs than that on
exhibition yesterday at the Jackson.
street rink has never been in the North.
west. The show is under the auspices
of the st. Paul and Minnesota Kennel
club, and is the second held under their
management. There were more dogs,
exhibited last year, but the animals now
on exhibition are, both in point of
breeding and general form, omuch
superior set. A m0ngrel or so may be
discovered, and will lead visitors to
wonder why on earth the animal had
found its way to show bench, but such
vagarieS occur at almost every show.
There are a certain class of people who,
because they possess dog. think it
ought to be entered at some show
whether the breed of the animal can be
defined or not. One dog of this character
is on exhibition. 1t is a cross between
bull dog and a toy terrier with a
mixture of the water spaniel-a curios-
ity and pet all in one.
There are close upon 100 classes, and
each variety of breed is eXcellently
typifed. Without doubt the features
of the show are the pointers and settlers.
These classes are filed with some
splendid animals-the best of the dis
trict and the cream of the East.
In the pointer classes the progeny of
Sensation were well to the fore. par
ticularly in the class for dogs under
fifty-five pounds, DR.. HanSen's Duke
taking first prize. Duke is a we'll
moulded dog, lemon and white, and is
by Sensation out of Rose. Venice,
recent importation owned in Phia-
delphia, b. f. Lewis, agent, secured
first in this class for bitches. The
Bang-Bang blood failed to materialize
in the classes for
POINTERS UNDER FIFTY-FIvE POUNDS.
Des MOineS pointer kennels secured
first in both the dog and bitch classes.
Donald ". by Champion Donald. was
the successful dog, and Lady
Price, by Champion Graphic, the
winning bitch. The Manitoba ken
nels had two entries i'll the English
setter class for dogs, and were first and
second, Manitoba, Gladstone and Dick
BOndhu, respectively, taking those pO-
sitions. Paul n. Gotham possesses a
pretty bitch in Countess Amelia, Sc

Belle, who has secured a splendid re-
cord in Manitoba for her field trials.
These were the prominent classes
Judged yesterday by John Davidson, of
Monroe, Mich, who takes in the whole
of the sporting dogs. The transporting
classes are under the jurisdiction of
Charles II. Mason, of New York, who
will commence Judging this morning.
Mastitfs and st. BernardS are good
classes among the transporting animals,
the young dogs being a very promising
lot. There are several very fine Great
Danes, of which breed the OSceOla ken
nelS are the chief exhibitors
The arrangements of the show are
