| Great Dane owned by Bernard Guggen-

greyhound shown by Mrs. Bennington. is
! Landsdowne Cold Stream The English
| setter decision in placing Woodmere Rap
| over Sir Albert was a more than doubtful
| one. Sir Albert was much better dog to
| my notion Spaniels were few, but of good
| average quality. One / thought overlooked
/ was the attractively marked red and white
dog Minnepek Nip. He was third In class
| of three and was worth the other two
| combined. A better fronted dog 1t would
| be impossible to find, very fair III head,
| good ears and shown in excellent coat.
| There was nothing new in collies Mas

| than ever with the Balmatian Rockcliffe
| Runaway than at any previous time He Is
! an extremely good dog, the one drawback
| being the lack of distinctness In his spots.
| A little fringe of white running in on the
! black detracts from the sharpness of out
| line. Otherwise he Is a grand dog. Mr.. LIE
| Cato jumped the bulldogs about from Mr..
| Raper's placing at Mineola and Pewter
, Mug went back to fourth place. This was
| decidedly wrong. Lord Burley l think a
somewhat overrated dog. He is lacking in
| wrinkle, and is f1at-backed as well rs rath-

head, but Is nevertheless a good one
| Rodney King is also a good dog and
| is sure to do well. The best bulldog of all.
| in my opinion was Haywood Beauty, the
| winning bitch, and she should have won
the breed special.
1t was great day for Philadelphia Alre-
dales, Messrs. Barclay and Johnson win

cock In dogs and with the puppy, Pretty
Polly. who took first IN winners. The Bos-
ton terrier judging will have to be wiped
off the slate. It all wrong. and Irish
| terriers were quite as badly handled. Mr..
| Morticer made a record In smooth fox ter
! riers. having not a single dog to judge; In
| bitches one exhibitor from Chicago had
three entries. one In class; and there
were four wire-haired terriers from Phila-

The American Kennel Club reminds me
of that poor fellow in THAT Lass O. Low
ries." who was continually complaining OF
being ''misfortnit." 1t certainly has the
most "misfortnit' habit of legislating In
haste to repent at leisure of any associa-
ton I know Of While 1t Is still strug-
Cling to get out of the American bred
lnuddle, 1t has to get mired In another piece
of fy-off-the-handle legislation At the
cBub Office they have to keep the records OF
shows and matters of that kind and fol
their own convenience they put the breeds
In alphabetical order. AS the show mana
gers adopt various methods of placing the
breeds in order. none of them correspond
with the alphabetical order of the record
clerks, and some one with no conception OF
| what ha doing got the executive
mittee to order that henceforth dogs must
be catalogued in alphabetical order Of
breeds. 1t must be understood that the
A. X. c. has lately decided that no person
shall be delegate who is a superintendent
paid judge show secretary or has news

more that should be done and bar all who
know which is the biting end Of the dog
then we would have that denseness of ig.
norance of what should be done that seems
to be the aim of the men who are running
| the club
Had there been one man on the committee
with any knowledge of show management
he would at once have advised the COM
mittee that the proposition was all wrong
Dogs are benched by size, because the
benching comes IT. three sizes. At the meet
ing at which the committees report was
read Mr. Mortimer at once drew attention
to the impossibility OF carrying out the
order and the members of the commit 81
were astonished to find what a biundel
they had made. The gentleman who had

An inquiry from gentleman who has
taken a country place for the summer has
reached me through the editor. The infor-
| nation wanted Is as to what dog Is suit
able for taking OF the house and will
not succumb to the establishments OF q
piece of meat. with or without strychnine
Very much depends upon what the country
home Is. for If there are barns Or coach
house to be guarded dog In the house will
not cover the ground and at the same time
dog some DISTANCE off at barn will hard
ly afford protection against the burglar
| sueaking to the house with the knowledge
that there Is yard dog In the near dis
lance that must not be warned Where II
Is simply house to be protected the an
swer is an easy one, for the dog should be
kept in the house at night What kind OF
dog depends more upon the individuality
of the animal than breed, except that smart,
bright, active dogs that are quickly alert
and energetic are to be found in all breeds
of terriers, also In the toy breeds. 1t Is
among the terriers we expect most surely
to find the smartness. the clear sharp
bark and the points which go to make up
the beau ideal watchdog OF the house
Keeping the dog in the mouse solves the
meat question. and he has announced the
presence of untimely visitors long before
| an entry has been made and any possibility
of his being quieted has occurred. The out
side watch dog cannot be protected from
being poisoned unless the marauders are
warned by his announcing their presence
and keeping aloof from the premises. These
t;ogs have their use when the premises are
isolated and night barking does rot annoy
| neighbors, but where houses are close
enough together to cause this night barking
at every passing football. the indoor, alert
dog of the small terrier breeds dachs-
hund or any smooth-coated dog preferably
will do OF the toy breeds, the Pome-
ranian Is perhaps about the best in this
line.
