DOG SHOW
BIG SUCCESS
Hundreds Of Dogs Viewed and
Judged at the Whippany
River Club Saturday.
KEEN CONTESTS FOR RIBBONS


was in every way a complete success.
John G.. Bates. who with Grant B.
Schley, jr., and Richard III. Williams,
jr., managed the affair received con-
gratulations on all sides for the sue
cess of his labors.
Society turned out by the hundre dis
to view the dogs which were benched
on the tennis courts, the lawns, the
club house piazza an1 the stable yard
as we'll as in the racquet court and the
stables. Ali the best dogs that have
been shown on the outdoor summer
circit were on hand, and the competi-
tion for the ribbons was unusually
keen, while the awards gave general
satisfaction.
Socially it would be difficult mat
ter to improve on the show. There
was thoroughly representative gath
ering from Morristown, Convent, Short
Hills, Montclair, Newark, the Oranges,
and other fashionable centres. While
the affair did not offer every possible
advantage for dress parade there
was brilliant display of fall costumes
with bright colors predominating.
Several automobile parties from New
York swelled the crowd, and quite a
few were on hand from the exclusive
Tuxedo coloney.
One of the best classes was for Irish
terriers, which made a splendid show
ing. The real contest narrowed down
to John G. Bates and the Newry Ken
nels. During the summer the entries
between these two exhibitors have
met in the show ring with varying
success. AT Mineola Newry Kathleen
defeated Mr.. Bates's Blarney Irene,
which marked the latter's first defeat.
Blarney Irene swept the entire classes
for bitches, winning the premiere
award from Newry Acusher, which
won the first prize at Long Branch for
the best dog in the show. Newry
Shamus, however, won the blue rib
bon for the best dog, with Mr.. Bates's
Redeemer placed in reserve.
The defeat of George Bleinstein's
Lansdowne Sanford Phenton by Mrs.
e. W. Throckmorton's Beppo B. was
somewhat of a surprise, although the
latter showed to special advantage.
Bleinstein, however, won the winners
ribbon and reserve for dogs.
Several winners ribbons we're with
held owing to the entries not meeting
with the full approval of the judges.
There was considerable surprise when
the Bedlington terriers were sent out
of the show ring. The French bull
dogs were judged on an almost exclu-
sively French scale, although in two
instances the judge reversed his de-
cision. In the other classes, especially
the West Highland terriers the awards
were received with perfect satisfac-
tion. The West highland terriers
was the largest exhibition of this
breed ever brought together in this
country. The summaries:
