ADMIRING HANDSOME DOGS
CROWDS AT THE, FINE BENCH SHOW.
LAST AWARDS OF THE WESTMINSTER KENNEL
cLUB-pETs BIG AND LITTLE

IN
Of the water. The great Jubilee Bench show IN
london had a larger exhibit Of dogs, but was not
eoual 10 the present one of the Westminster hehhu
cub in point of excellence. There Is not celehra'cu
strain of canine blood in this country or Europe ud'
Is not represented among the dogs at the American
Institute building. BY evening the hall was pacNcU
with such dense throng Of people that II was d
question OF time 10 any fsvorte DOG Al 'io
eastern end of the hall people stood patiently III me
waiting to get glimpse of Ivan, the siberian Won
hound from the kennels of the Gar Ivan look hiN'
prize in his class. Rival, another dog OF 'he saTe
breed from the kennels Of the Emperor OF "ermahS'
had a bench next 10 Ivan, but as he only got
" II. c." very highly commended ivan was pro
portonately proud of his first prize and oresp no nsy
naughty.
The Inastifs came in for their share Of attention,
and in spite of their fierce looks we're apparently
warming 10 be petted one great fellow named
Homer would submit 10 any amount OF pctthg ana
then. when his visitor went away would set up
mournful howl. which seemed TO shake the building
The ret~ of the celebrated Mintng seemed to be the
finest among the masf class several Of his progeny
giving promise Of great things when fully maturcd
The Hampstead Farm kennels received a good share Of
attention and prizes, and visitors fingered long about
the place where displayed the gorgeous array Of
silver cups and medals won by these kennels.
Among the King Charles spaniclS. the one most no
ticed was Romeo who took first prize. Romeo is
ie black and has the shortest face Of any dog Of his
breed in the world. To the novice, there is such
strong family resemblance between the King Charles
spanies and the japanese spaniels that the one IS
often mistaken for the other. In fact, the markings
Of the japanese spanies often like those Of
the King Charles Spanels of and history than
those Of the real King Charlcscs themselves. 1t would
be an interesting study to trace the relationship be
tween the pets Of the stewards and the pets Of the
Mikado
Tie care which is taken OF the dogs at the show
i constant of interest to visitors. Here an
attendant would be combinc the silky hair Of a
d!minutive skye terrier, and not far away a Great
Dane would be having his coat rubbed down to a
glossy perfection When dogs come To the dog show
they seem 10 be on their good behavior, and While
they delight 10 bark forget 10 bite. People 60 about
pcttiAs and pOking at huge ma~tf> boothoundS. and
Great Danes with a Teche>>ness which they would
scarcely display were they TO meet the same dog
anywhere else And the dogs not only stand it, but
seem TO like it. In fact. it is only when dog does
not receive attention that he gets moro>e and savage
When 10 O'Clock came last night and the hshi>
began TO be turned down the hall Of the building
was crowded to its utmost capacity, and it was with
reluctance that the people left the hall and let silence
and rest settle the dogs and their attendants
