OF the most quality-looking greyhounds We
have had in this country Mr. Hopton got
both winners prizes in bulldogs with Rod

the latter being very nice Canadian
owned bulldog named Vinemount Miss Au-
brey, to which was awarded the cup for
best bitch at the Batavia show the previous
week.
Mr.. Riley. the Bryn Mawr secretary
judged Boston terriers and 1t was soon
evident that he was letting all hands
know what Mr.. Riley and one else
thought of the dogs. Not that those with
whom he differed were wrong. but judg-
Ing should be individual opinion and not
copying others, for that is what dogs are
sent to shows for. Oakmount Gent came
out ahead in the dog classes and Kinsmans
Belle beat Chink in bitches The latter
was a good win, Chink has been very
successful at many recent shows. There
was nothing of Importance after that ex-
cept Mr.. Dole's giving new twist
to the Irish terrier dogs. Borthwick Tor
mentor going to third, behind Edgecomb
Turk and Gaelic Rory. and Ulida Marvel.
the Cedarhurst winner going to fourth
place. MIR. Dole never liked the latter SO
his setback was what might have been
expected.

The management feature of Brattleboro
show was the excellent way in which the
award board in the ring was managed
1t is strange that we have to go to coun-
try shows for wrinkles In little things Of
this kind, and the visitors at the big shows
know what a hollow mockery the award
boards usually are. The class number
was managed by two numbered circles be-,
hind the award board. the revolving num-
bers on which could be seen through two
squares cut in the board. There was also
a card with the number for every dog at
the show and these were slipped as wanted
into little metal holders opposite list or
3D. or what the place of the dog was The
best dog at this show was the Irish setter,
Shan Law and the best bitch the Boston
terrier Chauncey Girl. a broken UP brindla
and white of very true terrier character
Miss Marks St. Demands made a decided
feature, though in the competition the old
er dogs were not entered against the young
ones, which were introduced for the first
time. The pointers were Unexpectedly
good the two brothers. Fairchance and In
SEPARATION. being so placed in winners These
dogs are by Imperator, a sire that has be-
come very prominent In the production Of
good-looking dogs. DR.. Hairs English set
tiers. Rumney Ranger and Queens Pride,
had easy wins in their classes and also
took the special for the best brace In the
show.
The Grafton kennels OF Scottish terriers
well shown and ranking we'll up for the
specials open to the various breeds. Mr..
Dwight Moore did not arrive at Brattleboro
Till Thursday to Judge Bostons and by that
time l was at Methuen, SO what he did
with my selection of Chauncey Girl as the
best is still to be revealed.
The Methuen Show.
Methuen show was in the country and
within easy reach of Lawrence and Termed
part Of a made-up country fair" With q
total Of 2O3 dogs 1t beat out Trenton by a
whisker. Rain fell on the first day until
o'clock, but Mr.. Goode went on with his
Bostons under tent. They were all what
may be called district entries, and Pontiac
Rex and Revilo Tomah were his selections
in dogs, While in bitches he put up q new
one named Battling. Some judges might
find fault with her at either or both ends,
for she Is somewhat long in muzze but Ii
is very full and sharply truncated. Her
ears are natural tulip or bat ears and she
has straight tail, but of nice length. She
has very good eye and good forelegs,
while her body and cut up in loin are a
wonder Of symmetry. Up to this show she
was an unknown and therefore merits a
short description, as she beat several ter
rters Of renown. The remainder of the
judging was held over till Friday, and the
best represented breeds were collies and
Afrdale terriers. DIR. Edward A. Conroy of
Washington was at Methuen and was
showing a fox terrier
