Papillon become when he realized that he at
last bore the seal of official approval that he
essayed the other day to whip cat twice his
size. 1t is the hope of his mistress that he
will recover in time to appear at the show.
The women in this city who, for the most
part, are the owners of these little dogs
naturally delighted over the recognition their
pets have received. Mrs. o. II. p. Belmont, who
was among the first to bring the Papillons to
this country, is now in Europe. Mrs. Belmont
first exhibited her PapOns at the Toy Spaniel
Club show at the Waldorf-Astoria in 1904. Mrs.
Burke-ROche is a lover of the cunning little
Papillons, and for some time was the owner of
three that are now owned by her sister, Mrs.
Peter Cooper Hewitt. These little dogs are fine
types of the Papillon. Lii is three years old,
Mira two and Bijou only eighteen months.
They possess every characteristic of the full
blooded Papillon. This breed of spaniel is some
times called the butterfly and sometimes the
squirrel spaniel-butterfy because their large
ears stand out from the head like the wings of
4 butterfly, papllOn being the French for butter
fly, and squirrel because the tail, carried over
the back in a sharp curve, feathered with fine,
bushy hair, reminds one of the tail of a squirrel.
These little dogs range from five to eight pounds
In weight and stand from eight to ten inches
high at the shoulders. The head is small and
slightly dOmed, and the coat, which is abundant,
is usually mahogany red, chestnut or parti-col-
ored. Mrs Edward Wharton, of No. SS4 Park
ave, owns some fine full blooded Papillons, but
they are not to be entered at the coming show.
Mrs. A. S. Alexander, of Castle Point, Hoboxen,
N j., is the owner of two fine types of the Rose
meath terrier which entered in the
class for these dogs. Pixie is long haired dog
and Captain is short haired. Both have all the
marks of the terrier and resemble the Scottish
terriers, except that their coats white. H
d. MacDona, their former owner, says that the
person who will take the pains to investigate
the claims of the Roseneath terrier to a separate
classification will find that. aside from the color
of the coat, the ears are more transparent and
piglike than the ears of any other terrier, and
that in other little points they differ from the
pther breeds Upon good authority it is said
that the Roseneath terrier is a family strain
of the dog which under the general classification
of white Scottish terriers has been shown for
years at English shows by Colonel Malcolm of
Lochgilphead, Argyle, and for many years has
been kept in the family of the Malcoms, of
Poltalloch.
George Clarke, who for fifty years was head
keeper various Scottish estates of the. Ar
gyles is said to have bred the Roseneath from
two or three terriers he brought from Null.
There soon arose such n demand for these dogs
In England that dogs were sold to unsuspectnG
tourists that were not Of the Clarke strain, but
instead white or pale fawn Scottish terriers
From this practice is said to have arisen all
The discussion as to the rights of the Roseneath
terrier to separate classification. Among the
owners Of these dogs in this city are Mrs Her
bert NJ Hartman and +. S Woodward.
In addition to the new classes opened this
year for the Roseneaths and Papillons the
Westminster Club has also opened new classes
among the bulldogs and the coIlies These are
to be known as junior classes and are for dogs
