Work in the Ring.
 Judging began at 10 a. m. and continued until l clock. At o'clock the judge re- stunned his labors, and at 3 judging was concluded for the day.
 Greyhounds were a fine lot so fine, in- deed, that comparisons among the win ners are wel1-nigh invidious.
 In puppies, dogs and bitches, Petronius and Clare 5 were alone and received first prizes. Both are fair speciments. In novice dogs, pr. Norman is the best look ing dog and received the blue ribbon and OGrady and Fear Not were properly served with red and white.
 In novice bitches, Beatrice was first, being head and shoulders in front of Black Patti. In limit dogs, Skyball was first without rival: in bitches. Minnie E received the first prize, no other ribbon being awarded.
 In open dogs, Sunol, second, should Pretender, the winner, who is f1ashy look ing, but lacks in chest and hindquarters. In open bitches, the famous Nellie Con roy could not possibly have lost, though Diana, third, might well have changed places with Mercy May, the second bitch justly so, but Sunol should have been placed in reserve instead of Pretender
 In the winners, bitches, the prize fell rightly to Nellie Conroy, with Beatrice properly reserved.
 American foxhounds were a small class, but select. The puppies were well judged,
  The same may be said of the blue-ribbon puppy bitch, Dinah. Her competitors though fair, were both inferior to her in In Borzois Russian wolfhounds, one kennel of six was exhibited. Saladin, dog, received the tricolored winners rib bon, and Czarina, his litter sister, was reserved.

 In novice dogs over 55 pounds, Don c was an easy winner, between Duke of Tyrol and Cliff was just toss up for second place.
 In novice bitches over 50 pounds Fan nette was alone. and received the blue ribbon. She is a decidedly good bitch, and would win out in good company.
 The English setter class Is one of the finest ever seen on this coast, but Judge Bells decisions were not quite as perfect as in some other breeds.
 Irish setters were large and fairly good class.
 That rattling good dog Champion Memo II captured the winners prize, the reserve
  bitches were properly served with Lady Inroelleo first and Champion Lightning re- serve.
 In Gordon setters the winner was Dick III. who should, however, most certainly have yielded pride of place to Major II , who Is far better dog, with more type and character.
 The bitch Jewell was rightly adjudged the winner over Belle M reserve.
 The field trial prize fell to Aleck c, who properly beat Lock and Dash Antonio. In the bitches Countess K should have re- ceived first. being better bitch than the much vaunted Peach Mark, who is greatly overrated.
 Irish water spaniels were few in num- Der. Dan Maloney was rightly placed winner of the dogs and Belle March of the bitches.
 In field spaniels Rondo won out easily in the winners class for dogs, no bitches were shown.
 Cocker spaniels made a powerful show ing, but were much of a sameness.
