GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

The dog show was continued in the Grand
Central Rink yesterday, and it was patron
lied in a way that even surprised the most
sanguine member of the club that is pro.
noting it. From the hour in which the rink
door was opened until 10 o'clock last even
ing the building was densely crowded by
ladies, gentlemen and children. And
everybody seemed highly delighted at what
there was to see.
Everything passed off admirably. and the
judges got through their work amid general
satisfaction. There was great disappointment
in the Irish setter class, as the famous Dick
Swlveler was ruled OUT on account of disease.
Zona. the English setter bitch, was also dis
qualified for the same cause. This was quite
unexpected. But Notwithstanding these little
drawbacks the show was huge success: in fact,
SO successful was it that another show even on
larger scale than the present is assured.
The terriers were to the front yesterday, and
well did they show up. All classes of them are
represented by magnificent specimens, and the
judges had some very close arguments to de-
eide. Many people were surprised to see Cupid,
the New York Italian greyhound, defeated by
Lewis Spring. The latter is owned by Joe
Lewis, the local dog trainer, and is a beauty.
Mr.: Hacke's Barzos dogs got first and second,
dUu tu6y were popular source Oh alLTacllOD.
Altogether local dog owners came in for a
good share of blue ribbons. 1t was also a
feature of interest to find that in the special
for the best pointer Pontiac defeated both
riers were also very successful. and were far
ahead of their opponents. The show will con-
tinue to-day and tomorrow. Following are
