A CASE IN POINT.

the Wayfarer. There was entirely 100
much favoritism in the matter OF maxi
ing awards TO the local dogs eNhibited'
From what / can understand, the dogs
from the kennels outside were award
cd prizes according TO their points and
pedigree, but when il came 10 the home
dogs there was more or less pull on
every piece Of blue and red Ribbon
There were exceptions, but they were
in cases where the judges would have
publicly stuLtified themselves had they
refused the prizes to which the animals
exhibited were entitled. i will give you
a case in point a young woman, who
lives on the West Side, sent a hand
some and well-bred fox-terrier TO the
show. II was admired by everyone.
When the judges came around they de-
cided that It ought to have the first
prize. just as they were about TO place
the blue ribbon upon It, one OF the
managers OF the SHOW rushed up and
said:
".You have made a mistake, the
owner OF that dog does not belong to
the Kennel Club. Give the prize 10 that
other dogl
And the other dog got It.. (
From another source the WayfaIer
learns THAT Mrs. Thomas II. Bayard
overheard the conversation, and, being
a lover OF fair-piay, remarked 10 the
person who had interfered with the
Judges in their work
"If that Is the rule you apply my
dog Is not entitled TO the prize II won,
for / am not member Of the Kennel
Club, either"
But the club had ends 10 serve I'm
capturing the ribbons. and 1t did 10
wherever It was possible, regardless ud
the outside exhibitors who had en-
deavored to make it's show a success.
EMBARRASSED THE BRIDE.
TWO Of the Wayfarers friends went
down to the station the other evening
TO go to Philadelphia on the Through
express train. Shortly before the time
arrived for The train to pull into the
station, they noticed the shifting en-
