LITTLE TOO-LE WINS ,
THE CHAMPIONSHIP
And Now Dog FanCierS Are.
Wondering if Mrs. FiSheI Is
AStute or Just Lucky.
HER ENTRY IS INvINClBLE
Even the Naughty vi Sin of
Alderbourne Compelled to
Lower His Proud
Colors.

COlOrS.
Whether Mrs. Mark Fishel was born
with knowledge which II takes the or
binary Pekingese fancier years 10 ac-
quire. or whether she is Just plain lucky,
IS tho question before the house at pres
emit the house being those who witnessed
her unprecedented Victories at the tenth
annual show of the Toy Spaniel Club,
which closed last night at the Waldorf
Astoria.
The little Celestial gentleman who
brought all the heartaches to rival ex-
hibitors and Joy to the heart of his owner
is Too-Li, Of Toddington, who up to the
time Mrs Fishel brought him out at Islip
this fall had never been heard of.
II happened like this: Mrs. Fishel did
not know anything about Pekes; in fact,
she hardly knew what one looked like,
but she had made up her mind that she
would like TO own one. Early in the
spring Mrs Fishel went TO England, and
she thought that would be chance 70
buy the Peke that she had been threat
ening to purchase. Scoring the advice
Of experts. she looked around until she
found one in the kennels of Mrs. Hugh
Andrews that pleased her. This was
Too-Le. and he was in such poor coat tnat
on6 who had had more experience in TINS
breed would never have chosen HIM Inc
price also was so low that it would have
frightened most purchasers, but MIS-
rishel stuck 10 her first choice, and yes
terday. after Too-Le had scooped up all
Of the blues and all OF the specials ana
challenge cups. his new owner refused an
offer of ten times what she gave for him.
Too-Lee appeared at Islip this fan, and
was greatly admired, but it was not until
nc defeated Mrs. A. L. Hollands cham
pion vi Sin of Alderbourne that people
hogan 10 realize that little Too-Le was a
formidable contender.
When contestants for the unclassihed
specials were called into the ring Albert
W Freeth's black Pomeranian Ofiey wee
Blackie answered the call with that veni-
vidi-vici air of his which is usually JUS
tilted nv results. Last February he won
the special at the Westminster hennei
Club for the best toy. but he met his
Waterloo in Too-Le. The little Chinaman
curled his beautiful plume over his back
and walked away with Mrs. Howard
Goulds trophy for the best toy dog IN
the show. Then every one said; wait
until Too-Le meets all Of the dogs In
connection for the Waterman trophy.
But II was the same old story; there was
NOT a dog nor bitch of any breed In the
show good enough TO beat the little lion
dog. who found fame almost overnight.
Mrs. c. Davies Tainter judged the
Dacbshunde as only Mrs. Tainter can
Judge. She gave everything to Mrs. A.
Hungerford's South Shore entries be-
cause there was nothing else in the ring
10 compare with them. Winners and re-
serve in every division and in both sexes
went TO these favorites. Boni Won
Iichtenstein West End, who has never
been beaten. and in consequence Is many
times a champion now in his class, and
is now going TO retire and make way for
his Young son, Boni South Shore. who
promises to follow in his fathers foot
steps
Mrs. Malcolm Strauss brought out
good one in novice Trenches. The new
conner is called Beaux Athos, and he was
an easy winner in his class, although he
had to meet the good little Bob Gamin.
In the open class Paisque and Gamin's
Rival had a neck and neck tussle and
although the Judge decided in favor OF
the former the latter was the favorite
with the ringsiders
&c 4rfn mr.
favorite, Vixen, defeated the attractive
Young Babette, from the kennels OF Fred
Edwards. but II was a question whether
she is a better all-rounder than her young
rival who made her debut in the puppy
class. Gamins Rival was the sensation
Of the Boston show, where she went
through from puppies to reserve winners
Scottish terriers and West Highland
white terriers. two new breds, which were
declared eligible this season, were well
represented John Seys Huyler's cham
plon Walescott Fiddler was the choice in
Scotty dogs. with Walescott Shady Lady
i'm first place in the bitches division. In
West Highlands Mrs. Payne Whitney
brought out two babies that signalized
their appearance by winning blues. They
were Greentree Bawbee and Greentree
Heather. Robert Goelets Glenmere dogs
took winners and reserve in both sexes
Mrs. Albert Sue showed two beautiful
Griffons which were recent importations.
Theye are Marquis and Petite, and there
was nothing in the ring good enough TO
beat them, although Miss Marie Alice
stovell showed her Mill arm Piecrust. a
great European favorite Daniei 2. Rtch-
ey had offered so many specials that he
showed his wonderful Griffons for exhibit
ton only They are Tony hute the We'll
come. which won his double championship
at Philadelphia on Thursday. and Lena Of
sunnymede, which nedes only two more
points to complete her championship.
The awards follow;
