The board of judges yesterday dis
qualified C. A. Graham, local eX-
hibitor, for taking his two whiffets
out of the show surreptitiously Thurs
day night. Mr.. Graham had failed to
win any prize and he asked permits
sion to remove his dogs. This was re-
fused, but yesterday morning it was
discovered that they had been taken
and that the person who took them
had broken open a door and window
to get them. 1t is not known whether
someone remained in the hall until the
show closed for the night and broke
out, or whether he broke into the hall
to get them. There We're two men in
charge of the hall that night, and 1t
is thought strange that they did not
prevent the removal of the dogs. Mr..
Graham will be unable in future to
enter dog in any dog show In the
United States.
Charles A. Roach, another local ex-
hibitor, will be disqualified for an Of
Tense similar to Grahams. He enter
ed the st. Bernard Chocolate Jack and
on Wednesday night he took the dog
home. He was required to deposit 50
forfeit money and promised to return
ing at 9 o'clock. Neither the dog nor
his owner has been seen since, and the
judges say Mr.. Roach will be disbarred
from other shows.
The owner of a bull dog forced his
way out of the hall with his dog yes
terday and got away with 1t before
he could be stopped. He will also be
blacklisted in every dog show in the
country.
An award that is causing some dis
satisfaction and criticism is first prize
to John Callahans bull terrier Milwau-
kee Dandy. The dog is suffering with
mango and his tail is imperfect. One
of his ears is sore, and it requires the
constant attention of his handlers to
make him look presentahle. AS the
dog has mango, the owners of other
dogs think he should be removed from
the show They do not understand
how he secured first prize except on
the theory that there were so many
dogs to be judged and so little time to
do it the Judges were not as careful
in their examination of the dog as
they should have been.
There was a howl yesterday morn
ing from the dog owners that was quite
as loud as any from the dogs. 1t was
on account of errors made in the Off
cial catalogue of awards. In their
haste to send the list to their printer
the judges, Thursday night, had not
time to give the newspaper men and
of that days awards. They hurried the
list over to the printer and kept him
up all night to print it. The printer
did his best, but when the catalogues
were delivered yesterday they were
found to be so full of mistakes that
they were practically worthless. If the
| judges had allowed the newspapers TO
have the list in it's entirety, it would
| have been correct.
| The attitude of the managers of the
show toward the newspapers and their
| representatives has been disdainful
since the show opened. Failing to ap-
| preciate the value of the free adver-
| show and the very material assistance
| they have been toward the shows sue
| cess, the managers have treated their
| representatives as persons to be toll
| Grated but not encouraged. No provi-
sion whatever has been made for them,
and they have had to get the prize lists
as best they could. When spoken to
| about this, one of the lights of the
show told reporter for The G O b e
| that the show owed very little to the
newspapers and it did not much mat
ter whether they published the awards
or not. Another member Of the man.
agement said he hoped the papers
would give sufficient space to the show
He did not think its importance was
| felt in the newspaper offices.
| A general air of WEAKNESS prevailed
among the dogs yesterday. They had
been cooped up In their benches since
Monday night, and they were tired.
Some of them We're ugly. 1t makes a
dog feel just as badly as it does a
human to be shut up in little two by
three box and fondled and petted un-
ceasingly by strangers. Familiarity
breeds contempt, and they long for
their own firesides, where they can
bask in the glow of a warm fire and
play with the children. A number OF
the dogs in the show are positively
homesick, and their owners are unable
to improve their spirits. The great
white st. Bernard Prince shows the eff
fects of his confinement more than the
others in his class. He Is moody and
refuses to be friendly with visitors. He
became so ill-tempered yesterday that
he was labeled as dangerous, and Wis
itors were warned not to irritate him
Another Prince the little black and
tan, Is sick. Very few Of the dogs are
not suffering from the excitement OF
the week. i io
Yet every precaution has been tsAer
