THE NEW YORK
AND BOSTON SHOWS
Evidence Displayed of Careful
Selection in the List
of Judges.

The judges list for the Westminster Ken
mel Clubs show displays evidence of care
full selection within somewhat restricted
lines. The two new hands are the for
eigners. Herr Ulrich of Nuremberg and Mr..
Arkwright of England. The visitor from
Germany will handle Great Danes and
dachshunds. AS this is the first time these
breeds have had a native judge his
work will undoubtedly attract attention.
Mr.. Arkwrght is not coming to this coun-
try specially to judge pointers. but 1t was
found cut that he was coming over on a
visit, and the opportunity was accepted to
secure his services. He is admittedly one
of the best judges of the breed, and he
should have a very large entry, for now
or never is the chance to upset American
ways of following a beaten path in much
of the pointer judging of the past year or
two. Col. Roger d. Williams of Lexington
is the only American who is a stranger to
the exhibitors of the east. He has been
connected for a good many years with
several of the breeds he has to take and
should be able to handle them without
difficulty, for they are all easy to a man
who knows what is essential in "a hound.
Mr.. Roy of Montreal has never judged at
New York before. but has been in the
metropolitan district and did good work
success at this SHOW. Mr.. feeling of
Chariestown. Mass, is quite a new man
for Boston terriers and. as his appointment
is supported by the Boston club, he is
bound to have a large entry. The re-
mainder OF the judges are all well known
and are as follows:
j. j. Lynn. mastiffs and fox terriers;
d. E. Waters. st. Bernards: DR.. ]. +. De
Mund. Russian wolfhounds Maj. ]. NJ.
Taylor, settlers and Chesapeake bay dogs;
II. X. Bloodgood. spaniels: T. Cadwalader,
beagles; j. w. Morgan, old English sheep
dogs; A. B. Maclay. Dalmaiians; H. c.
bull terriers: T. Oferman Airedales; j.
Sergeant Price. jr., Irish terriers; B. S.
Smith. Welsh terriers: Mrs. Mayhem, Po
meranians, Wekinese griffons and pugs;
Mrs, w. n; Hadley. English and Japanese
toy spaniels. This leaves very little for
the two all-rounders. Mr.. Hopton taking
elbows, French bulldogs. schipperkes, Chi
huahuas, Italian greyhounds, papillons and
miscellaneous and Mr.. Bellin having the re-
mainder of the terriers. down to Yorkshires
and toys.
The Boston Show.
The Boston list has not been announced
so far, but it is an open secret as to almost
the entire list. The al-arounders are con-
spicuous by their absence as such, for no
one has more than half a dozen breeds.
Mr.. Mortimer has about the most, but his
assignment is limited to St. Demands,
Great Danes Russian wolfhounds, fox
hounds. Scottish and bull terriers. Why
he has not the Irish terriers is puzzling, as
he is not on the club list and has only
judged the breed once since March last
Mr.. Lynn is said to have the Irish terriers,
but he Is more at home with fox terriers
and hardly goes for the proper type in
Irish, wanting them like very large wire
haired fox terriers in place of halfway to
the Welsh terrier in face and muzzle. Mr..
Written of Philadelphia is a good ap-
polntment for Alredales and so is the other
Quaker. Mr.. w. Green for Bostons; still
another is Mr.. Earle of New York for
bulldogs Fox terriers have a new hand in
Mi. Alderman. who at one time had a few
good terriers in San Francisco. He has
never judged them and has yet to make
his record in the ring. Perhaps the most
satisfactory appointment in the whole list
is Mr.. w. I. Payne of Kingston, Pa, for
sporting spaniels. The New England Ken
mel Club has thus given the go-by to the
spaniel club, preferring independence and
the support of the fancy at large rather
than nave to engage some one who is of
the spaniel club coterie. Mr.. Payne got
the record American entry at Toronto last
September and Is undoubtedly the leading
judge of cocker spaniels In the country to-
day. Mr.. Rockefeller will Judge beagles,
and this is another good choice Mai
Taylor has pointers. Mr.. F. Davis takes
lies. elbows. with few other breeds and
miscellaneous. while to Mr.. Harry Lacy
fall the toys, with greyhounds and Samoy-
edes. He really has more varieties than
Mr.. Mortimer but toy spaniels are pretty
well one breed.
Mr.. Pierpont Morgan is to have still an
other new collie for New York show in
Ormskirk Nightingale. daughter of An
held Model and Longford Queen. Night
insale had big reputation on the other
side and is likely to repeat her triumphs
in America. 1t is possible that Mr.. John
Black Of Harrisburg. "a. may have a
new collie for New York also. for he left
some time ago flying visit to get his
hogmanay' in the auld country on lew
Year day.
II not going over to buy any dogs.
but man never knows what may happen
when he sees something he is sure he
wants" were his parting words on the dock
at New York.
The Kennel Club Controversy.
The meeting of American Kennel Club
delegates held in New York Thursday was
for the purpose of sounding the sentiment
of those who felt aggrieved at the peculiar
manner in which the club is now to be gov
erned and of which they knew nothing at
the time the property was transferred to
the new Incorporated club. Twenty-seven
delegates were present, and there was some
very trenchant criticism regarding what had
been done. Those in charge of the call had
prepared series of amendments to be pre-
sented to the club for action at the Febru-
airy meeting, the tenor of which Is to return
to the old quarterly meetings of the dele
gates, concede the board of directors to
the number of thirty, but have them all
elected annually, and dispense with the eX-
ecutive committee of eight, which had prac-
tcally taken to itself the entire manage
ment of the club and elected themselves
into office for three years. There are many
minor changes to conform to the major
AS quite a number of those
in attendance had come from a dis
lance, three or four from Boston and two
from Philadelphia, 1t is very evident that
this movement is not one that can be easily
disposed Of and as nothing radical is want
ed from what was the case before the
change, the propositions are likely to be
well supported when the votes are taken at
the annual meeting.
