self yesterday, although the judging
was run off in a rather rapid manner
In the afternoon, however, Judge Ash
ton had an opportunity to recuperate
Interesting incidents, exciting and COM
ical, happened during the judging
period. A winsome miss, who OF
course considered her fox terrier a
world beater, was marching her puppy
she could. But when Judge Ashton
gave the decision to some other dog
the young lady became mystified. The
decision was beyond her comprehension.
around and turned upon the Judge, tell
ing him he was not the capable man to
officiate at dog show. II would not
have such a fox terrier as that prize
judge, and the crowd around the rail
laughed in great glee.
And there were others who naturally
shared the same belief but were able
to prevent their disappointment being
shown and SILENTLY stole away"
The terriers, of which there was a
large entry, were the drawing card at
judging time. Ch. Telwonk Topper, a
wire haired fox terrier from Massachu-
setts, a $40, 900 dog, won first prize in the
novice dog class for wire haired fox
terriers. But a short time ago at a
New York show this dog defeated
Wandee Coastguard, the wire haired
terrier owned by C. K. Harley of San
Francisco. Selwonk Topper is a Won
derful dog and Thomas believes he can
outpoint any of Harleys wire haired
CANNES. Another surprise was sprung
when st. Cholophe Buster and BlatZ
two of George Hers Boston terriers,
were defeated for first prize. Little
Miss Pronto, however, defended the
champ title Of the Ell Mundo kennels
and won first in three classes. Miss
Pronto has little scar on her forehead
but that did not bar her from winning,
for ner many good features made up
for the little fault. Captain Eric Neills
bull dog Battler was defeated by Ben
bull terrier class, George NJ. Easton's
Tedcote Wonder and Peer Welt Wonder
captured all the prizes.
Last evening large crowd filled the
tent to witness the awarding of medals.
From all reports every one who
exhibited a dog is highly pleased with
the decisions of Judge Tom Ashton.
Judge Ashton is equally as we'll pleased
with the management and treatment
that he received at the hands of the
officials and members of the Kennel
club. This is what he says about the
show. "In all my travels have never
officiated at a better bench show
Everything has been run off in first
class manner and the dogs are all of a
good class. have had but little trouble
in managing the. dogs and everyone
seems to be satisfied with my decisions.
1t is very hard matter to judge dogs,
to please everybody, and 1 have tried
to treat everyone the same. You see
I am not judging exactly by points.
am taking the dogs and looking at all
their points and combining their in
telligence, trying in every possible case
to give the best all around dog the
winning decision
Tom Ashton Is a well known judge
and he is credited with having Judged
$50 dog shows in England last year.
Twenty-Five of these shows were held
