PRIZES AT THE DOG SHOW.
The List of Those Awarded Yesterday
 Afternoon

The List of Those Awarded Yesterday
 Afternoon
 The yelping chorus at Polo rink per- formed again yesterday with great volume of noise, more noisy than mu- sical to the average person. But to the ears of those interestd in dogdom the barks of many calibres and tones were as music to the opera lovers. Ranged about the sides of the main floor at the rink are about 200 of the canines, all of high degree and many eligible to the list of registered dogs. There are big dogs, little dogs, medium sized dogs and monkeys. The latter are especially interesting in their pe- culiar antics, to those who do not care especially for dogs, and all are of the best simian aristocracy.
 The show was visited yesterday by a still larger number of persons than on the opening day and the visitors in cluded some of the best known people in town. In fact, the dog show is quite the thing and not to have visited it is to have missed the event of the season besides missing the opportunity of see- ing some really fine dogs.
 A number of prizes were awarded yesterday afternoon. They are as fol- lows:
 St. Bernards, rough coated dogs-No. A, owned by MT. Merwin of Milford first; The Bard, owned by David Heaply, second; bitches, Maggie, owned by Mrs Nolte, first; Flora, owned by'Dr. E. C. Ross, second.
