| Few nersons who visited the Airedale
terriers at Murray Hill Lyceum YESTERDAY
at The first shcw of the Airedale Terrier
Club OF Long Island. realized that II TOOK
several generations and tho pest piooa "a

10 produce the long-muzzlcd, iong-iegseo'
game. intelligent animals shown yesteroa!'
What was first known as the Airedale ter
r,er bore little semblance to the Aredaie

otter hound and the bull terrier and nad al

ty Of the latter. This terrier was ored 10

nearly all cases the black saddle "hi'c
his conformation more nearly resemo'eS

| per cent. The finished product was Hrs'
registered in England In 1885, but II was
| decade later when the Airedale was Drought
into this country.
Theodore Offerman, who Judged the dogs
Yesterday. has done more to improve the
| breed than any other man In America, ana
he considers it the finest all-round breed
| In America. The animals are natural re-
trievers and pointers and no game Is TOO
large for them. An ordinary forty-pound
Airedale will fearlessly tackle anything
from jackrabbit TO grizzly pear. III
fact. the only bad Airedale Is the dead one.
Wi!ford Wood Is the president OF inc
Airedale Club. which has about haii
hundred members. all OF them entnusias'c
devotees of the breed. The Prince OF YORK.
owned by G. W. Batson, is considered the
finest dog in the country. and bis present
owner has refused ST. 900 for him. He weighs
fifty pounds. has long legs and long muz-
zle and a black saddle. The Prince was
shown only In the special classes. where ne
certainly took care 10 let every one Kno"
that he was In the ring. His chief de'gn'
seemed 70 be barking at the other doss IN
a manner which was calculated to strike
terror 10 the heart OF anything save an
other Airedale In the competition for the
presidents cup he refused to allow the
beautiful gentle little Kenmore Sorceress
to stand on the bench with him. flnany
they were the only two left In the ring, and
IL took the Judge some time 10 decide be-
tween the two perfect specimens Prince
of York is on the qui vive all the t,lne'
however. while the Sorceress seemed 10
take more interest in the sawdust on the
floor than she did in the allurng puppy bis
cults which her owner had TO offer and
the Prince added the presidents cup to mis-
other trophies.
About the best dog in the show, with the
exception Of Prince OF York. was Clonmei
Isonony, owned by Francis G.. Porter lie
defeated Alfred B. Maclay's killearn
Oorang, winner Of the similar class at Mad
ison SQUARE Garden. A V. II. c. was the
best Clonmel Isonomy had 20 show at the
Garden, but few who saw him then would
have recognized him yesterday. He had
been only a few days in America then ana
was sick and In poor coat At present ne
is one OF the best coated dogs in the coun-
try and he beat Oorang on color. the latter
being q little too light colored IN the sac
die TO be popular Oorang Is only one year
old and he has hardly lost his puppy coat
or his puppy proclivities as yet. He IS con-
sidered, however, TO have the finest head OF
any dog Of his breed In America, and he IS
on the live wire every minute.
The prizes IN each class were SO TO the
winner, IS TO the second. s. to the third and
81 to the fourth choice. besides innurner'
able special. ranging from the slo offered
by Theodore Offerman TO any dog winning
from novice to champion class TO ten
pound box Of puppy biscuit for the best
puppy dog.
