Trouble Over Placement.
Based originally on the English show
catalogues with the breeds nearest to
the main entrance. At the New York
shows, for instance. bloodhounds and
mastiffs always start the numbers and
have the pens nearest to the doors, but
at other shows other breeds have the
positions. 1t is often desired that the
breeds that is the greatest attraction or
the year should have certainly very
prominent benches. Also. 1t is not
! deemed good to split up breed; that
is, to have n portion of the dogs OH
the floor and another portion of the
exhibits on gallery.
Now, to make the catalogue proper
help 10 the non-doggy spectators, who
form the bulk of attendance at every
show, II Is essential to have the num-
, bers run as TO places in consecutive or
der; also to have No. l at the main
door Given these two rules TO follow.
II Is the duty of the superintendent to
place his entries so that they Will make
/, the best display possible, as a whole.

Broods Must Be Grouped.
Irrespective of all other considera-

four divisions, each of which must be

their corresponding bench numbers, on

AS TO classification. beside the old
ones of sporting and transporting dogs,
the A. K c. has been wise to add also
terriers and foreign dogs But rul-
| ing should be made for use In variety
| classes, or for such specials as FOR the
