FoRE-soME OF THE OWNERS
The thirteenth annual bench show oil the WesJ-
minister Kennel Club will open on Tuesday morn
ing at the Madison Square Garden, and will re-
main omen for four days, from 10 a. m TO 10 p. IN.
each day. In size, at least, the show VIII ex-
coed any previous exhibition on this side OF the
Atlantic. and in the variety and quality Of the
entries also il is asserted that it surpasses any
show ever before held in America. Nearly 700
exhibitors will be represented, and there are
trifie over 1900 entries, which is more than 800
in excess of the number last year
The list of entries is especially rich in the class
of animals known broadly as watch-dogs ana
even toy-dogs are by no means neglected The
apparent decrease in the number OF toy-doss eA-
bibited in recent years is not due to any want of
interest on the part of the managers but rather
TO the fact that the owners of the alleged dar-
liness have learned more about their real merits.
The ladies especially have become aware that
their nets will not take prizes merely because
they wear gold collars and sleep on satin beds,
and consequently only the most perfect specimens
of their diminutve race are nowadays exhibited
The prizes offered amount altogether to nearly
$4,000 and are distributed in an Impartial
manner among the various classes of dogs repre-
sented There are exhibitors from almost every
State in the Union, and most Of the Provinces IN
the Dominion of Canada are represented. The
judging will begin promptly at 10 o'clock on
Tuesday morning and will be finished ON TUESDAY
night
Owing to the bicycle race. which was IN progress
last week IL was impossible to begin work on
the Garden until midnight last night Supern-
tendent Mortimer however, will be prepared to
receive doqs tomorrow afternoon, and all OF the
animals must be in their places by o'clock Tues
day morning
The Arrangement of the dogs will be somewhat
different this year from that at previous
exhibitions, to accommodate the increased num-
her but the order of the various classes Will DE
much the same as before. Until the judging Is
completed, the central spece will be dlVlded lnUo
eight distinct rings, but after Tuesday the par,
titions will be removed, and Professor ParKer VIII
rive an exhibition with his troupe OF trained dogs
each afternoon and evening. The admission Will
no 20 cents in the daytime and 81 at night. Ex-
cent by special permission, no exhibitor VIII DC
nermjtted 10 remove dogs from the Garden before
the show closes on Friday night
The list of entries is so extensive that IL is
difficult to make selections from it without seem
ing partiality. The post Of honor Is assigned 10
the mastiffs, of which there are seventy-hve en-
tries. T. r. Moore Of Melrose, Mass, heing the
