Noted Judges Secured
for Big Dog Show
Frank F. Dole Among Those
Who viii Pass Upon Bench
Beauties at BurIingan1e

The announcement that the San Ma
teo kennel club has secured the serv-
ices of Frank f. Dole of New Haven,
Conn, to pass out the ribbons in most
of the classes at the coming Admission
day dog show will undoubtedly meet
with much favor by the fancy at large.
Dole has never before visited the
coast Indeed, it seems surprising that
so capable Judge has never been
asked to "6o them" in the west.
Dole probably ranks as one of Amer
ica's greatest all round judges, having
officiated time and again in the east as
Judge of all breeds. He is greatly
thought of as setter and pointer
ber of times. Dole has also handled
many of Americas best dogs on the
eastern circuits. But probably Dole
will be known best as q breeder and
Judge of bull terriers. He has owned
lnqueStionably the best bull terriers in
this country, and has scored more win
ners' ribbons with his dogs than all
other owners put together. As bull
terrier expert he is conceded to be
one of the greatest living. Among his
hundreds of great dogs were ch. Wood
cote Wonder and ch. Princeton Mon
arch, household words among the fancy
and about the best two ever seen in
America. Dole,s kennels are known
as "Ed2ewood," which word is pre-
living.
Second orly to Dole's fame in bull
terriers is his interest in Bostons In
his New Haven kennels are some of
the best little screw tails" in the east,
which have carried home hundreds or
prizes to their owner. He is also said
TO be all expert on bulldogs.
During the last few years Dole has
Judged at more than 100 shows and a
majority of the times has passed upon
all breeds. The local fanciers are
I.xx, N@Ia h q
and a record entry is expected.
Dole first gained fame as an athletic
coach in the east. He trained the Yale
athletes for many years and later went
TO the University of Pennsylvania,
where he gained his greatest falne
through his victorious career. During
his term as trainer at Yale he taught
Secretary Taft boxing, and as result
Taft won the boxing championship OF
lis class.
Since 1854 Dole has shown dogs, and
to all dog lovers his career is common
history. Last year President Roosevelt
bought pair of crack bull terriers
from Dole which were White House pets
for q time, but are now the property
of Mrs. Nicholas Longworth.
While Dole will be called upon. to
do the majority of the breeds, the club
has been fortunate in also securing the
services of G. S. Haliwel1, formerly OF
Boston, to pass upon all varieties OF
toys. Haliwell is resident or Call
fornia and. although he has never
Judged in or near San Francisco, mas
acquitted himself with great satlsfac-
ton at several shows in the south.
Haliwell has had many years expert
ence with practically all breeds while
a resident of Boston and was seen at
all the eastern shows for decade or
more. During this time he became a
student of the smaller breeds and his
selection as judge will surely be
greeted with a crack entry.
Mrs. William c. Ralston,. probably
the best known woman exhibitor on
the coast, has consented to don the
ermine in cookers, for the first time
in many years. She is strongly backed
with the support of the entire cocker
fancy in the west and is admittedly
about the best judge of this breed in
this vicinity. Mrs. Ralston's appear
ance will be greeted with bumper
entry,
Another woman who is very popular
In the ranks of the fancy is Mrs. Phlilp
Wand, whose interest in dachshnnds
dates back many years. Mrs Wand
has owned and shown many of the
best the state has seen and easily
ranks as the premier dachshund
breeder. Mrs Wand will draw strong
classes on Admission day.
The other judges will be James
Sweeney of Colma, who has. owned
many famous greyhounds, who viii
pass upon this popular breed; Charles
Harley, who is regarded asethe best
fox terrier judge
The show Will be one day affair
and will be held at Crossways. the
great polo field and clubhouse of
Francis j. Carolan at Burlingame.
