LOW-PRICED DOGS YIN.
Many Valuable Exhibits Fail to Get
Blues IN Brooklyn.

The first annual bench show given by the Long
Island Kennel Club is likely to be remembered
for a long time for many reasons. One Is the
failure of some of the highest priced dogs in the
show TO win first prize in their classes, when dogs
valued by their owners at a much lower figure
have taken the blue ribbons.
Amose these unsuccessful dogs were Lady Beau
fort valued 5000. which got only the third honor
for bitches in a class for bulldogs. Lady Bruce
only very highly commended in another class OF
bulldogs She is by Reminder. out OF Sheffield
Daisy. and is valued $4,000. country Week, val
ued at 81 500 captured the first prize in this class
with Naughty Girl second. Naughty Girl Is
valued at $3.50 by her owner. Mrs. Alfred
belmont. The $500 Bryn Mawr Rosador got
the second prize In another class for bull
dogs. in which Taysand received the highest
honors. Mrs Oliver H. p Belmonts Dollar
by Lupic. out OF Blanchette got the third
prize in a class for French bulldogs. and a sec
ond prize in a similar class. The exhibition at
tracted an excellent crowd yesterday. One of the
exhibits most Interesting TO the inexpert observer
was the ESsduimau dog krawa- which was pres anted
by Lieutenant Peary to John d. Rockefeller, and
later became the property of a DR.. Abkarian
