| y. IS leggy, sour IN expression but too
deep in stop.
Bitch puppies have only one entry,
Jessie c., very fine specimen.

Irish setters-This class, barring two
or three specimens is q poor class. In
open dogs Patsy D, 1st, is thick in skull,
and with coat enough for st. Bernard.
Dash, I'd is also coarse and heavy in
head and too light in color.
In open bitches Nora Mavourneen
shows the most quality in the class, and
was rightly placed. She is very good in
head, fair in front, with excellent back
and loin, and good color. Elcho Jr.
Colleen Bawn (what a name) second,
although short of coat is stylish, has O
fair head and is good in front, body and
| loin, and is well bent in stiles.
Bess e, Sd, has neither style nor
character and carries bad coat.
In dog puppies, Mac B, the winner, is
little fat in skull and might be better
in color, but is good in back and loin,
legs and feet. Flash, I'd, is coarse in
head, and not good in feet, otherwise
good.
FOX TERRIERS (sMooTH).
This class contained the most quality
OF any in the show and attracted the
most attention. The rain caused the
color to come out of the awning that
sheltered them, and they were prettily
marked with pink spots. But as all
were stained alike, it made no difference
in judging.
Blemton Sinner First, was shown in
bad condition; he has the best head in
the lot, but is bit wide in front and a
trifie heavy in the shoulder, but is a ter
rier all through.
Blemton Vesuvian Second, is another
good terrier shown in excellent condition
as hard as nails. He is short in face,
ears hang we'll, body, back, and loin,
excellent, with excellent legs and feet.
The winner beats him only in head.
Regent Jack Third we do not like as
well, he is too long cast, falls away in
stern and muscles of back, not right in
skull, ears too broad at base.
Tory Reserve is little heavy in ear,
high on the leg, long in body and thick
in head.
Open bitches were good lot. Golden
Patch 1st is much the best, she is in
good body, back and loin, has good
front, good bone, excellent legs and
feet. She is short in face. her ears are
a little heavy at tips, though carried
well. Blemton Lillian I'd is a good
bodied bitch, bit light in bone, ears
don't hang just right. Bonnie Bess Sd
is rather long cast, light behind, excel
lent front and ribs, very fair in head,
ears not very well carried. Flirt Reserve
is thick in skull, ears hang badly, other
wise has good terrier character.

Dog puppies, seven entries.
DIR. s. 5. s. lst carries one ear badly,
very fair head, just little cheeky, leggy
and light in bone.
Hop I'd is a bit thick in skull, ears
hang very badly, little too long in
body, fair bone. Snap, Reserve, is
round in skull, carries his ears badly, is
long in body, with fair bone.
Bitch puppies, eleven in the class.
Frisky Viola, first, although young and
small, is much the best in the class.
She is full of character and shown in
splendid condition. She has nice stamp
of head, ears we'll carried, good length
of body, good legs and feet. She after
wards won the Belmont cup, and we
never saw a decision in bench show
that pleased both the public and ex-
hibitors as well; the whole crowd
clapped and cheered, and the dogs
joined in the chorus.
Tidy, second, is bitch of consider
able quality, a bit weedy, but with nice
head and well carried ears. Myrtle
Reserve is fair-headed puppy, ears
might hang better, trifle light behind.
Blemton Creeper V. H. G. we do not
fancy. She is thick in skull, has poor
ears, might be better in bone and is
lacking in character. Bonnie Bell, H.
c., is nice little bitch, but too young
for the class.
GORDON SETTER.
This class is not large one, but is
teeming with quality. Would have
done credit to an eastern show. Devon
shire Grouse. first, has good Gordon
character, excellent coat, good skull and
muzzle, but is rather dark in tan.
Duke, second, is light in tan, too heavy
in head, not right in coat and rightly
placed.
Nun, first in bitch class, is one of the
best Gordons we have seen in many a
day. She has a good head, well-hung
ears, well-sprung ribs, excellent body
and loin, very good feet. and is very
good mover. The judge that put her
V. FL. G. last year could not certainly
have seen a good Gordon since his boy
hood. Lady Clara Jane, second, has
good legs and feet, and is good in tan,
but is not as good in head or coat as the
winner. Mollie, third, is light in muz-
zle, turns in at pasterns, and moves
poorly, back and loin good. Princess
Nell, reserve, shows the Irish setter
cross in the head and muzzle, and is
leggy. Flora, V. H. c., ditto.
| Puppies are a very good class. Jen-
ME, first, had the advantage of age.
She is short in skull and pinched in
muzzle, little short of coat but good in
limbs, well-ribbed, and good mover.
Leo, second, and Dan, reserve, are prom
ising puppies. Jimmy and Teddy are
too young for the class.

CHESAPEAKE BAY DOGS.
Laddie, first, had a walkover; he is a
very good specimen of the otter-coated
Chesapeake, well-made and well-coated,
with the proper head and character.
x*x
CoLMEs.
Iaddie, the winner in dogs, is good
boned, excellent-coated dog, bit thick
in skull, with poorly hung ears.
Lady Jean, the winner in bitches, is
