Amid q chorus Of barks and yelps that have
dinned the ears OF spectators for the past four
days the most successful show OF the twenty
four held by the Westminster Kennel Cluo
closed last night. Although there was a slight
falling Of In the attendance when compared
with the holiday turnout Of the previous day,
there was scarcely a moment during the nfter-
noon and evening when a glance could be OBJ
tanned Of one Of tho reigning favorites without
elb0yins through a crowd OF stanch admir-
ers.
The tempers OF most Of tho four-footed bril-
gade that were bcnched for the glory OF their
owners and qualification Of the visitors had not
improved with the extra nights rest in the re-
stricted quarters provided for them. and signs

moment the afternoon contingent began to
throng into the garden. Swapping and snarl-

Dick. who on Thursday earned the title OF
Champion Bad Dog Of the Show created
another sensation and added to the doubtful
laurels gained when he bit his kennel com rads

OF the fray he concluded that High

TO associate with the others, and he was ban

grisved at the second escapade. He said that
Highland Dicks behavior was a complete sur.
prise to him. as prior to the show he had the
reputation OF being one Of the q%uietest and
best-temrerod dogs Of the kennel.
