brave and painstaking official. After
careful inspection of all the entries
, the high honor was given to a toy

George Steadman Thomas. wife of the
Eastern fancier. This Pomeranian
won the same competition In several
Eastern shows. 1t is as black as ink
and shows much quality.

competent handler and the most
obllging, made a clean sweep of the
specials. in the open classes with his
splendid string of settlers and pointers.

pronounced the best setter and Marks
