1t was an achievement about as hard
as for an American to win the English
Derby or Oaks with a colt or flly bred in
his country. Miss Donald's successes
Exhibit the lottery of breeding and reveal
one of its destinations
While women have now put the entire
range Of breeds as within their ambitions
as exhibitors or kennel owners, the ma
jority, particularly when beginning, will
take up with a toy or small breed. There are
as many pitfalls in preparing a dog for a
show as hazards on a golf course.
Long and silky dogs must be brushed
an hour or two a Gay for a week before
hand; indeed, wealthy women nave maids
for their dogs. The woman who has only
her own skill to rely on must brush the dogs
herself, perforce, and even at the shows
the brushes are kept busy. Blue ribbon
dogs are as fond Of rolling in the dust as the
mongrels.
But the greatest worry is to trim the dogs
Just right, and in skilful hands this is more
than half the battle in striving for show
honors. 1t is difficult to know where the
overtrimming begins that will cause a
Judge to pass a dog by. At a meeting Of
the English Kennel Club-to indicate one
of the many pitfalls-there was a protest
against three well known poodles on the
ground that their coats had been oiled.
The charge was admitted n evidence

In this country the dog traders are d
a far higher class thar the average Of tho
dealers in London, Parif, Vienna, Brusses
or Berlin. There are many more dog
shows on the other side and many more
dealerr, while to the INSCRIPTIONS the
OBJ ortunit!es Of making themselves scare
after a shady transaction, or to ship away
dogs obtained by fraud or trickery an
far more abundant.
A dog, for instance, shipped 1900 mla

Yet the only punishment the American
Kennel Club can inflict is to disqualfy q
wrongdoer; the return OF money fraudu-
lsptly obtained is q matter for the oourn
and may mean anything from a charge q
petit larceny to a suit for damages. Not
long ago a London woman bought a fuzzy,
finely shaped Yorkshire terrier from 4
street vender there, paying the good pro
for such a transaction OF $25.
Some days later the terrier made q
great outcry and seemed to be suffering
as the song runs in the "Mikado,' with
pain in its little insides." The veterinar?
drew out a great pair Of shears and cut
boldly into the dog-to reveal that a tiny
mongrel had been snugly encased in the
skin of the dead and gone Yorkshire. This,
of course, was a case for the police, and
rot the kennel club, as 1t would be here
1t must be remembered that, while to

In her succees with a diversity Of breeds
Mrs. Eloise kernochan Of Hampstead
has been compared with the Duchess of
Newcastle. Her favorites are Irish terriers,
Miss May Bird, especially with blood
hounds and bull terriers, has a noted kennel
at Hampstead, and Miss Kitty Cameron, with
toy bull terriers, and Mrs. Burke Roche,
who maintains the Elm Court Kennel of oul
terriers, are also prominent.
Miss A. A. Marks has one OF the best
kennels Of st. Bernards; Miss Lucy Alger
is as famous for her poodles; Mrs. Jack
Brashier's Craigdarrock Kennel of Scotch
terriers is the best in the East; the Misses
de Coppet have equal distinction in Welsh
terriers. Miss Anna Sands is successful
with P~omeranians, and Mrs. r. c. Wander
bilt with French bulls. Breeders Of the same
dogs are Mrs. Della Gutenberg, Mrs. Rich
ard Hunt, Mrs. George W, Bramwell, Mrs.
NJ. johnson, Mrs. Theodore Oferman and
Mrs. H. F. Foote, for the breed is stead
fast in fashionable favor.
Indeed, every second or third name in the
catalogue at the Westminster or any great
city show is a feminine one. An unusual
distinction was achieved by Miss l.. B.
Donald Of Staten Island, who had only
one entry at the last Westminster show,
the Irish terrier Donald's Barney, yet won
with it from novice right through to the
winners class.

presented that it vas impossible to show
a poodle properly without the use OF oil.
The protest was dismissed and the objector
had the cold comfort Of being told that his
complaint was mot frivolous" But to dye
the coat is ruled a disqualification; yet
shortcoated white dogs are often so thor
oughly chalked that the dust ar ses in a
cloud when they are patted.
All sorts of eXpedients are known to the
fancy to alter the hang of a dogs ears,
the carriage of his tail, or even the shape
of the mouth, not all of which are matters
of disqualification. 1t is always OF adj
vantage to show a coat clean and devoid
of matted and dead hair, and when prop
erly scraped and rubbed the dog is i'm
proved in appearance and not injured.
When the trimming is left to be done hur-
riedly by a negligent handler the head or
tail, perhaps, is scraped so that the skin
is raw and disqualification may follow
Much depends on the Judge.
1t is not always easy to keep a prize win
ner, even in the country. In town an open
street door is a temptation that few dogs
will resist, and once outdoors it is always
odds against the valued dogs coming home
again safely. Then there is always the
danger Of a dogs being taken of by preda-
tory fanciers, who are said to tempt them
away with medicated pieces OF liver.
Canadian women may not enter dogs

IN TIGHT PLACES
Prisoner on a Railroad Traek-A Ride on a Whale in Its Death
Agony-Drowning While Spectators Laushed-Also
a Financial Tight Place.

/ never received any money for travelling;
twas not i the bond. The Metropolitan
Railway had just been opened INC l speedily
discovered a way Of riding free from and to
Westbourne Park station to the city.
This fraudulent use of the railway in
volved the crossing Of an enormous num-
Der Of tracks, for the Great Western Rail
way has its main and shunting ines there.
One night / was creeping warily across the
tracks in the pitchy darkness when l stepped
into a crevice which closed and gripped my
foot. / struggled in vain TO release it and
suddenly became still with horror stricken
fright.
Coming straight toward me with n dread
full rush was an er gire, its headlight
glazing like the eyes Of an angry monster
and its whistle sounding a deafer ing screech.
1 don't know how l kept erect or how
long the terror lasted, but just as the great
engire was upon me 1t sheered of to the
left and its long train Of cars rumkled past
me.
As the last car Numbered past / felt my
foot released and although l was carrying
a fairly heavy bag l sped off across the
lines to the embar kment, up which | used
to scramble. When i got there / sank
down at the foot Of it shiTering as if with
the ague, and for a long time | was unable
TO rise-for more than an hour at any rate.
However, l got to the shop at last and
caught it finely for teirg so long gore.
That did me a great deal Of good.
What perhaps would be esteemed by my
readers as a tighter place than tho fore
going / got irto during my whaling voyage
in the Cachalot. We had gore on a whale
in quite the usual manner, hut without
getting fast, ard we're busily engaged in
Iarcing him when he retaliated by striking
us full on the boat with his immense tail.
! Every one Of the boats crew but myself

was shot out Of the toat sideways into
comparative safety, hut I, having got my
foot jammed in the well Of the boat at an
unlucky moment, did rot go, for the foot
held, while the wrench nearly pulled my
thigh zone out Of its socket
My foot had just w~Tiggled free when
the immense head Ct a whale lowered over
me as he came ploughirg through what
had been a boat. Then all was uproar OF
the most hideous darkress and dread, yet
in the midst Of it my mind was busy with
the SPECULATION, what If he should swallow
me-?
But oh, the awful agony Of those few
moments until my head emerged from the
bloody foam around! My hand touched a
rope, one Of the trailing whale lines, and
I chung to 1t as any drowning man. let alone
a seaman, would, and hauling on it found
myself butt up against the whales body.
For a moment l felt relieved, but this
feeling was Immediately succeeded by
terror as ] realized that he might rot be
dead yet. I was not a moment In doubt
I felt him begin to move, and irstit ctively
hauling myself right up TO the harpoon l
took a couple of turns round myself with
the Light Of the lire.
During the next few moments, hours
they seemed TO me, I should say my seasa-
tons must AVE been exactly like those
of poor Matthew Webb in The Whirlpool
Rapids of Niagara. For the whale was in his
death agony, or furry, and his movements
upon the sea surface were indescribably
violent.
l never lost consciousness Of the ter
rife tumult until it had ceased and was
succeeded by perfect peace, in which my
tortured sen es gently left me for sweet
oblivion. From this 1 was aroused by
being lifted into the second mates boat,
the pain of the handling making me scr. am,
SO bruised and torn did l feel.
Very carefully l was transferred to the
ship. where l lay for nearly three weeks
before ! was able to resume work again,
while the shock to my poor system left its
effect upon me for many months. Now,
of courSe, as far as the spectacular and sen-
| %satioral clements of such an adventure are
concerned, there will be no doubt hat this
! experience overtops the others that ! have
ever had, but since the immediate prox-
init, and atute apprehension of death lie

the finest American specimens Of the Chi
nese breed. which is now to be hadin greatest
perfection il England. Not long ago Mrs.
Van Heusen bought by cable a chow chow
she supposed was Mrs. Scaramanga's noted
Red Craze.
The dog arrived in time to win in its
classes at the Pittsburg show, but almost
simultaneously the rue Red Craze won
at the Manchester. The dog sent here is a
very good one, but not the one paid for,
q complication that the kennel clubs Of The
two countries are trying to unravel.
Kennel management ia an easy task for
American women, although it is not bred
j. the bone" as il is with 80 many English
women. The example Of some English
women who are living here and who have
made a success with small establishments
has been of value to many New York
women. Such an illustration has been
afforded by Mrs. R. F. Mayhem, who is
very successful with Pomeranians and
wire coated fox terriers.
American women show great aptitude
when they take up the occupation. A re-
versal of the case is the success OF Miss
Leila Moeran Of this city with English toy
spaniels. Since her marriage to an English
man, Raymond Mallock, she has been living
near London and her transrlanted spaniels
have gained a good nam at the shows
there.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-06-10

Women have made themselves very
prominent at the open air dog shows OF
late by winning prizes with both big and
little dogs, and as the winter shows told the
same story, it is evident that they are
making q success Of the business OF raising
dogs. The men are glad of it, even the
magnates Of the American Kennel Club,
for they regard the raising of fine dogs as a
sensible occupation for women.
Thus the place Of women as exhibitors
and breeders Of dogs of winning types
seems firmly established. AT every sum-
mer show-the circuit this year includes
for the first time Asbury Park and Bar
Harbor-the record of awards is likely to
echo the judgments Of the spring and winter
shows.
There are no new crazes in pet dogs
remarked George Raper, the British judge,
who came over for the recent Mineola
show. THE old breeds are good enough,
anyhow, for new breeds are always half
%mongrels.'
Even 90, O new breed attracts many and
Is a source Of profit. Women are remarka-
bly, quick in taking up novelties. They are
very prominent as owners of the new and
distinctively American breed. the Boston
terriers. Mrs. H. NJ. Hartman has taken
UP White Scottish, dubbed here the Rose
meath, as though a new hair oil had been
brought to the American Kennel Club for
a trade name.
Mrs. Howard Gould discovered in Eng
land the black pugs; Mrs. Cooper Hewitt
and Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont have brought the
Papillons from Paris; Mrs. D. P. Foster
first transplanted the Pekinese spaniel, in
China the little lions" and the Griffon
Bruxellois are an old story now since the
first were brought from Belgium for Mrs.
Kernochan and Mrs. Goldenberg.
There is a close race for supremacy in
feminine regard between the Japanese
spaniels, the dainty P~omeranians, whose
sharp noses reveal the Spitz lineage, and the
French bulldogs. AS popular and of longer
reign are the English toy spaniels, the
Blenheims and the King Charles The ter
rier from the Isle Of Skye is still beloved
by women, but the Yorkshire commands
still greater favor.
There are always the toys of larger breeds
to particularly attract the feminine fancier--
