o'clock at the annual bench show OF tnn
Bulldog club Of America. Archibald Nc
Clure HALEY did the Judging. and II kept
him busy looking over and placing the 2"
entries which made up the twenty-fooE
classes.
There was a noticeable lack OF noise
which made this show differ radically FROM
tie henchng OF other breeds. In most
cases the bulldogs accepted tho ineVl'api'
in shamefacsd manner and went INTO ms
ring passively, with eyes uodestly css
down but occasionally one would reoei
and voice his sentiments with vociferouS-
ness which reminded the spectators o.
nothing so much as sportive SAIL lpe
best thing about these samples OF canine
ind gnation was that they were rev an"
far between. In the ring all was quiet. ana
the exhibitors formed solemn procession
and filed slowly past the Judge. leading OF
being led BY their favorTtes. according w
the size and strength Of the dog.
Miss Elizabeth Pierces Pip Clint. ter
months -old puppy, by champion Mahomef'
son--wenonah. won the opening class ~
the day. Pip Clint, WHO in private life u
Pipsy. is one Of the handsomest dogs OF his
breed IN the country. He Is big fellow

cludes other contestants from ths bench

where lie defeated the popular Huck Finn,
from the Broadstone Kennels. Robinswood

Helen Robin. This Is his first appearance
in this country, and he was IN the pink Of
condition for his debut scrooge IL rather
| light In color, but decided brindle, and he
has a grand head. His face is 90 concays
that II suggests to the uninitiated en- inside
out appearance, which the initiated know
counts 80 points in his favor. Chelsea
Crusader who was placed second. is also a
| recent importation, but compa ratively IN
known. The Crusader has a wonderful
body. but plain face, and this was all the
| fault that could be found with him. Chapel
Street Doctor which was placed third, was
good enough 10 win in any other collection.
He has beautiful head and a striking coat.
which is white with fallow patches. All
aspirsnts had TO abdicats in favor OF the
great champion Rockcliffe Hats Of In the
open class for dogs under forty-fve pounds.
but the second award in this exhibition was
something OF surprise It placed Pindarus
over Gotham Chief and Comet. In the win
