BOSTON'S RECENT
KENNEL CLUB SHOW
Unacc0untabIe Decrease in the
Entry of Some of the
Breeds.
By James Watson,

The twenty third dog show of the New
England Kennel Club, held in Boston dur
ing the past week, was one quite out of
line with its predecessors in many ways.
The Judging was rushed through in place
of being made continual performance for
four days. Practically it was all over at
the end of the second day, and after that
only few odds and ends of specials re-
manned. The total entry of the show was
somewhat under that of last year, and in
some Of the breeds this was unaccount-
able Mr.. Earle announced TO Judge puli-

The cocker spaniel display was remark
ably good, in fact, wonderful, considering
that the Spaniel Club Withheld support and
all it's officers and supporters held aloof.
The entry practically equalea that of New
York and was good all round. "A high
class dog won in limit other than black
dogs. This was black and tan named
Ornament II. He is far above the average
in head and every other property; IN tact

now have. His owner bought him two
years ago or more from the judge on this
OCCASION and the latter was greatly sur

had improved He went through to win
ners, dogs in particular. The bitch classes
were remarkably strong, and it is doubtful
whether there is better black in the coun-
try than Lady Eileen, or a better brace
than her and Brynwood Narida.
In the collie section the Princess de Mont

Another Philadelphia judge to be well
supported was Mr.. Green, who had Boston
terriers to pass upon. There We're the usual
changes when breeds are in similar posi-

closely matched in the classes. Boylston
Prince was picked as the best dog, with
Dick Dazzler second. and in the other sex
the New York winner Eve was again sue

McLain's Nance, purchased by Mr.. Robin
