FIRST DOG SHOW
 MEANS ANOTHER
A Announcement Made that Success of Last Week Will
 Be Made Annual Event
MEN WHO MADE SHOW 'GO'

That Bridgeport can give a dog show and give it right was proven by the successful manner in which the project of the Bridgeport Kennel club was conducted during the last three days of last week, Everything was pulled off on time, and the public was given an opportunity to see the best dogs in their class in the country. The Bridgeport show was smaller than some of the shows held in New Eng going to be twice as large an event next year. The dog owners of the country now know that Bridgeport is interested in dogs and that there is enough good stock here taken alone, to give a good show. The officers of the Bridgeport Kennel Club upon whom the responsibilities fell were Dr. James E. Hair, president; Walter Hawley, vice president; D. D. Smith, terasurer, and w. D. Blatz secretary.
 There is no end of detail connected with the work of mapping out a dog show under the rules of the American Kennel Club and the 1abors of the secretary were arduous. Secretary Blatz had to be most particular for the American Kennel Club keeps record of every dog entered and to be sure that there will be no mistakes it imposes a cash fine upon the exhib- iting club for every error made in it's program. Secretary Blatz handled all the entries single handed and com proprietor of the Fairfield avenue gun store and originator of the show was "a happy man to-day because the show had been a "go," and because he had disproven the assertion often made that a dog show could not go in Bridgeport.
 The judges of the show helped largely to make the event a success. They were the best in the country. When people are going to have their dogs judged they want it done by the best talent.
 They were James Mortimer, of Hampstead, L. l., for collies, sheep dogs, spaniels and all toy dogs; Dr. H. M. Deems of Boston, Mass, for Boston Terriers: Joe Lewis of Green wich, Conn. manager of the Rocke- feller Kennels, for pointers, settlers, fox, grey and beagle hounds, and Frank T. Dole of New Haven for all other breeds.
