anee at Third Day Of the
Dog Show

The Southwestern Kennel clubs sue
cessful bench show is drawing to a close
and the furry and excitement, surprises
and disappointments are as numerous
as ever. Disappointment in dog shows
are common things, but it often re-
auires pacific efforts to settle little argu-
ments arising therefrom. But aside
from that there were few arguments or
debates other than among the dogs
themselves. A larger crowd than has
attended the affair during the previous
days visited the show yesterday after
noon. Last evening was society night
and well gowned matrons and maids OF
the exclusive set had a peep at the
kennels. The dogs were as lively as
the first day they were placed on exhi-
bition.
Yesterdays feature was the Judging
of the special class winners. This was
no little task, for the large number of
dogs of different breeds and classes
that appeared in the ring at the same
time were rather confusing to Judge
Ashton. The critical moment of the
whole show occurred when judgment
was about to be passed upon the best
and second best dogs benched. The
space around the ring was jammed un-
comfortably. A wire haired fox ter
rier, Endcliffe Precise, owned by Mrs.
G. Steadmen Thomas of Massachusetts.
captured the big cup and was declared
the best dog in the show. Last week
at the San Francisco show Ch. Pre-
else won everything, even defeating
Bynsteins pointer Ch. Marks Rush.
Dusky Admiral, the sire of Endcliffe
Precise, was recently sold by Mr.. Red
mond, a prominent and wealthy Lon
doner, for the sum of $500.
A local dog rounded in for second
place in the show, when Paul Peiper's y
Irish setter, Shandon Ben, took second
prize. Shandon Ben, Judge Ashton re-
garded as one of the leading Irish set
short talk declared him to be a we'll
bred dog of exceedingly fine points and
a capable field dog. Shandon Ben comes
from good stock and he is now in fine
condition.
But there were other dogs who had
a look in and one of them was g.
Fred Hers little terrier bitch, Miss
Pronto, who took first prize in her
class. This gives Miss Pronto the
name of being the finest bred seven
months old bitch in the country.
| Although Mr.. Herr did not capture
| !, fo, =,
Miss Pronto he has the best little Bos-
ton bitch that ever slept in dog show
kennel. Captain Eric Neill, who ham
died Miss Pronto and a number of
the Ell Mundo kennel dogs, won great
praise as handler. He took the dogs
at their ease and had no trouble III
showing them properly. He was the
best handler at the show.
The pairs and braces of dogs that
appeared in the ring We're an interest
ing sight. There was a little Chihau-
hua dog and his mate and a bunch of
stepping stones up to the big st. Ber-
nards and Irish settlers.
All dog shows have an aftermath,
and this show is not an exception, for
considerable talk is going on between
interested parties as to the capability
of one judge deciding upon all classes
Some of the fanciers held that one man
can not very we'll look over all the
points of every class no matter how
much experience he possessed. Others
firmly believed that one man could 90
better job than a half dozen men,
and as a result the argument some
times heated, ends abruptly The ma
jority of members of the club appear
to be we'll satisfied with the arrange
ment under which the dogs have been
shown and judged.
At 10 o'clock tonight the second an
nual show held under the ausices of the
Southwestern Kennel club will come
to a final end and the four-footed
aristoarats toted to home kennels. To-
day the cups awarded yesterday will
be presented to the successful fanciers.
