show, was Tor many years large ex-
hibitor in England, and since his arrival
In this country has shown at all the
principsi shows, and won innumerable
prizes. He is careful pains-taking
man. and the exhibitors knowing him as
such are all satisned with his decision.
MIR. c. Il. Clarkson was unable to judge
Boston terriers, and MIR. Eliery Bright
very kindly officiated in his place, and
needless TO say, to the satisfaction OF the
exhibitors.
Mr.. George Jarvis, who judged Pointers
and Sttters, here donned the ermine for
the first time. The Pointer entry was not
SO good as was expected; this was not
owing to any want Of confidence in the
judge, but owing to the fact that many OF
the prominent exhibitors are down South
with their dogs at he present time.
lie handled the classes he Judged to the
satisfaction oil all concerned, and We have
heard no grumbling as to his rulings
The dogs arc nicely benched, and the
snow is tastefully arranged, the visitors
expressing much delight in the arrange
nent of the benches.
Seme of the best Mastiffs in the country
are on exhibition. Emperor William, who
has won many first prizes through the
country again won first prize, and mis-
kennel companion Lady Diana also So
cured another blue ribbon in her class.
Both these good dogs are getting along
In years, but 1t will be some time before
their places can be filed as they IN
doubtedly are two OF the NEST typical
specimens OF this old breed In the coun-
try.
The ST. Bernard classes are very well
filled and much interest was taken
around the judging ring when this
breed was being judged. Mr.. Watson
seemed to find a great difficulty IN Sc
lecting the winner i'm the rough coated
open dog class. There were 10 entries
in 1t, three of whom were pretty evenly
matched. Finally, however, he decided
that Sir Hugh, property OF Mr. Robert
II. Burrows of East Orange, N. j., was
entitled TO the premier honors, the Sec
ond. prize going to Mr.. /. w. Comey's
Jim Blaine, Jr., a doc OF much type and
quality. who pushed the winner very
closely. Mr.. Conveys kennels are at
Newton, Mass. The third prize dog
was Mrs. N. Miller's Columbus III, a dog
OF much quality, but losing somewhat in
head qualities to the first and second
prize winners.
Two capital representatives Of the fair
rex were shown in the next class, M'Liss
winner is very typical specimen OF her
breed and Lady Elizabeth her kennel
companion, had to be content with
second honors.
The English bloodhound entry Is well
worth a visit to the bench show TO sec.
DR.. c. A. Longest OF Boston who owns
those on exhibition, has entered the pick
OF bis strong kennel, amongst them be.
ing Champion Kaween, Venus, Sterling
and Statesman all dogs OF the best type
and quality.
The Russian bioodhounds make a very
attractive exhibit, and the crowd around
their benches yesterday was very large.
svadaks, from the Caar of Russia's ken
neis, Is a dog that attracts the most stten-
tion, and the dog seems to feel the honors
showered on her, as she turns her ex-
pressive eyes on the visitors.
Mr.. solomon Bennett of Cranston, Sc
cured one first, two second and one
third In the American Fox hound classes.
This pleased this old breeder very much.
He has long been an exhibitor and de-
uervss his success.
In Greyhounds Southern Charm last
years winner had to step back for first
honors to Weeks & Turner's Springhill
Electric, who was shown in better condi-
tion, Mrs. Walter Lord OF NGrragansett,
Park, X. l., shows a nice little Grey
hound in the corresponding class for the
fair sex, namsd Daisy O. She was shown
bit too heavy In flesh, but deserved
her ribbon. Her fair owner was very
much delighted with her favorite's sue
cess, and tine judge, Mr.. George 8. Thomas,
evidently saved his reputation by award
ing this prize.
The merry little Beagles also come in
for much attention. Mr.. Joe Lewis of
Mcocus, Conn.,, Is showing quite a good
string OF them, headed by his good i'm
ported dog Rather, who scored first In
his claes, and who is valued at the
enormous sum OF 5000.
In the pointer classes the entry al
though short In numbers Is excellent in
quality, and the same may be said OF
English settlers. Oak Grove kennels of
Moodus, Conn.,, easily secured first and
second prizes in the open class for dogs
with Count F. and Dick placed first and
second respectively. Another good dog
In this class was +. Il. Perkins The
Duke, who showed a bit rough ana who
would porh have scored hioher than
