CRoTDs AT THE BENCH sHoU.
Critical BrookIypitcs Flock to the Old
Thirteenth Kcglment Armory.


Steamed biscuit failed to dampen canine fer
vency in the old Thirteenth Regiment armory,
Brooklyn, yesterday. The Thanksgiving was
general, and the more enthusiastic. whose
~larynxes had become q wee bit raspy, made up
for their inability to "yap" by wagging their
tails.
The judging had been completed and the best
of good humor prevailed. Throughout the
benches visitors were greeted with a welcome
rs hearty as IL the LAY out" had been turkey
and chestnut %stuflng.
From noon until 1t was time for the curfew
bell to sound Brooklyn streamed into the main
hall. 1t was aroused to the fact that future
winners at New York had leen unearthed, and
when it saw the gathering 1t was satisfied that
New York must suffer II Its blue ribbons did
not hutter under the Same ensign. The Metro
poIitan Kennel Club spirits, which had been
decidedly droopy the two previous days, revived
in a hey presto" manner.
Tho terriers had clearly made up their mind
to make a week of 1t and stuck to their pro-
grRnme. Anything in the shape OF fur-a lady's
mantle or cloak. the slightest futtcr OF n hur-
| ried visitor-was sufficient TO urge the entire
Assem- blage OF fox terriers. Irish terriers, Scotch
terriers, Dandle Dimonts. Bedlingtons. and
Their partners opposite to a frenzy of "guying."
1t was bad taste, because tho crowds that
thronged the aisles included big wigs from
Westbury., Hampstead. and this city. Yet the
irrepressible rank and file OF terriers waived
all decorum and gave the Mayor of Brooklyn
the laugh With the same ~deviltry with which
through the ktevhoIes and the chinks in the
walls. Among those present were:

Encouraged by yesterdays receipts. tho man
agement Inns determined TO continue their VEN
ture next year. Brooklyn, the Metropolitan
Kennel Club contends, has onened its arms to
dogs, and for this reason nothing will prevent
the organization from sweeping down on the
City OF Churches again.
During the afternoon and evening the crowds
were attracted by the wonderful performance
OF Magnus Schulte's troupe OF Great Danes.
whose training and triCkinNss show greater
acunen than that OF the animals handled by
William Parker some years ago. Tho show
closes tonight Mt 10 o'clock. and the Great
Danes will 30 one OF the attractions in the
afternoon and evening.
