VENICE, July 14.-With a hullaba-
loo wholly out of proportion to the size
or number of the dogs, the annual
bench show of the Venice of America
Kennel club opened this morning on
the Midway. There are 1OS dogs en-
tered in the various classes, ana while
the usual number of classy dogs pres
ent at the previous shows of the CLUB
are lacking, there are number of aris-
tocrats of dogdom that will bear
watching.
The largest breeds from point of
numbers are the English bulls, jolly
| little fellows who greet the visitor with
series of wags and wiggles and fairly
grovel for the touch of the friendly
hand
In the puppy class P. B. Roy's Met
| rAcolitan, Roy's King and G. I. Kline
Metropolitan Mosten Dudd, full broth
ers, attract considerable attention by
their fine points. Both were bred by
p. B. Roy and are bred from Champion
Mosten, Bar None and Geisha Girl.
Metropolitan Chappie, another of Roy's
kennels, now owned by Mrs. c. b.
Bergin, will cut some figure in the
| limit class. Among the novice bitches
are Fortuna Lui, a daughter of Mos
ten Bar None and Clyde Ian, and II.

Small Dogs in Evidence
The show is essentially a small-dog
show, only one entry being made in
the st. Bernard classes and only
three in the Great Danes, while the
pointers are only represented by I'm
prints VaQuero, owned by e. A Feath-
erstone-
The fox terriers, the game little dogs
that usually go to make a bench show
interesting, are also conspicuous by
their absence.
The Judging of the classes occupied
the greater part of the afternoon and
will be completed tomorrow. Under
the eye of DR.. George W. Clayton of
Cricago, who is presiding as judge, the
various CANNES passed in parade, going
through their PAGES, their owner striv-
ing to bring out the best points in
each.
