 As the Americal Kennel Club rules provided that specially clubs giving exhibitions confined to a single
 breed are to rate as fOur-point shows for championship honors, it is anticipated that the entry will be a large one. The expectation is that the entries will include many of the field trial section of the breed. Mr. Graham. the judge, hay ing by his judging at Western shows displayed a tendency to favor a class of dogs which are not fancied so much by the setter judges who usually officiate. This was shown when he judged a few years ago at Chicago at the time that Barton Tory was recognized as the leading dog by the judges in the East, but MT. Graham placed one of MT. Coles settlers above Tory. he being much lighter in build and lacking the substance the majority of judges require. There will be five classes for broken dogs, one for advices, American or bred, with another open class for both sexes, in which Eng lish-bred dogs will compete with the others. A valuable array of prizes specially added to the regu- lar list of $15, $1O and $5. which are offered in each class. aggregate $415 in cash, in addition to cups and other prizes.
