the owners of some last evening took
them home for the night
1t is hard to say which class of dogs
attracts the most attention from visi-
tors. Every dog in the show is well
worth seeing and this seems to be ap-
preciated. The splendid mastiffs and
Great Danes come in for large share
of admiration, and SO also do the St.
Bernards
The judges got to work early yester-
day and all day they were busy passing
upon the merits of the dogs. The judg-
ing ring was surrounded all the day
with crowds of people interested in the
methods of judging The judges began
the days work with the greyhounds,
and as the graceful creatures were led
into the ring they were the cynoSure
of all eyes. The greyhounds were fol-
lowed by the deerhounds and these by
the pointers. There is very large ex-
hibit Of pointers and, in fact, of all
sporting dogs. This show will be re-
membered as the best in these breeds
that ever has been held in the West
English and Irish settlers are also
here in unusual numb ers. These dogs
seemed prime favorites yesterday.
Crowds were always to be found about
their benches. and as they are Of gentle
disposition they won many friends, es-
pecially among the children.
The array of Gordon settlers is not
far behind, either in numbers or quail
ity. There are many fine spaniels of
all kinds in the show.
One of the most interesting dogs in
the show is Mrs. E. T. Jones we'll
known Irish setter Sport. Sport is &C
quainted with every store in st. Paul,
for he is fond of visiting them. Moth
ing affords him keener delight than
to ride in elevators. He is great trav-
eler, and during short life has visited
a number of the principal cities in the
Mississippi valley. He is frequently
sent by his mistress on errands and is
master of a number of clever tricks.
Sport is the mascot for the General
Sibley circle of the Ladies of the q.
A. r., Of which Mrs. Jones is president.
Among the bull dogs in the show,
those exhibited by P. H. Floody attract
attention. Jim Corbett is one of these
and he looks as though he would not
dishonor the name he bears If he got
into a scrap. His owner wants to match
him against a good dog for a purse Of
$500.
Mr.. Floody has number Of pure
white and brindle bulls, which he is
extremely proud of.
A bull, all SCARED with the marks Of
battle, is Papa Jack, whose features
are expressive of grit. He is power
full dog, and even women who Shudder-
admired him.
Joseph Lewis kennel of Irish settlers
contains two Of the finest dogs of that
class in the world. They are Kildare
the champion of the world, and his sis
ter, Queen Vic. Duchess and Red Belle
also in the champion class, are in this
kennel.
Mrs. G.. II. Moore, of Omaha, attends
personally to her dogs. She has a black
pug, two black and tanS, two ruby
spaniels, four Blenheims, and the
Scotch collie Major Wheeler These
dogs were prime attractions yesterday.
The only Maltese terrier this side Of
New York is exhibited by Mrs. E.
Thomas. of Minneapolis. His name is
Lee, and being a novelty he was a
center of curiosity yesterday. Mrs.
Thomas says that there Is only one
other as good as Lee, and he is owned
by Lady Fauntleroy, of England.
All the toy dogs are popular, for they
are so small that they excite wonder
from the visitors.
1t was generally agreed yesterday
that the management of the show was
excellent. and that 1t could not be i'm
proved
The judges took exception yesterday
to what they said was an incorrect
statement published in The G 0 b e.
relative to the award Of prizes In the
ST. Bernard contest. They claim that
they did not refuse to award a first
prize to John w. Florences Richland
Duke IL, or that there was a second
competition in that class. Richland
Duke IL, they say, was awarded the
prize without question, and they could
not understand why Mr.. Florence or
any other person, should say otherwise
The judges yesterday awarded the
following prizes:
Greyhounds.
