The recent Santa Rosa show was
well patronized by San Francisco
fanciers. In fact, nearly all tine win
ners belong here. A. ], Molera headed
the list with IA entries. He entered
Airedale terriers, 8 English bull
dogs. l French bulldog, 2 fosterriers,
and 2 dachshunds Melera's entries
carried off about Is first prizes. in
ciuding special prizes for best dog of
its breed, and mostly with dogs of his
own breeding. which makes the wins
much sweeter. Mrs e. r. Brown,
Mayor Rolph and DR.. Herbert Rodley
were the other exhibitors with large
entry, having about six each.
Mrs. Fred Fenwick won the most
coveted prize of all with her wonder
full little bulldog, Champion Mack
worth BERTHE. The judge. Irving
Alderman. kept Miss Jean Forgeus'
wolfhound on the boards and made
him beat every dog until he met
Maokworth Berthe, making Nicholas,
the Russian wolfhonnd, second best
dog in the show.
The judging, taken as a WHOLE, was
very satisfactory. Irving Ackerman,
the all rounder, handled his breeds in
careful manner, and his placing of
the special prizes met with the APP
proval of the exhibitors and proved
that he is very capable Judge, and
shows that experience is q great and
very necessary thing to have in the
Judging ring.
The ether Judges were e. o. Corrf-
gan. Robert Nolan, M. d. Robson and
James Lawrence. Robert Nolan
judged Airedale terriers and went
through his dogs thoroughly. looked
for what he wanted. and when he
found 1t made his award feariessly.
Nolan made many friends and will be
asked to judge again.
M. D. Robson judged French bull
dogs. This was Mr.. Robison's first
appearance In the judging ring, and
he did well. indeed. He gave the ex-
hibitors all the chance they wanted
to make the best of their dogs and
then placed them as they looked to
him, something nearly all beginners
fall to do.
e. O. Corrigan looked after point
ers and settlers. Everything went
well until the placing of Howdy Pap
over Champion San Francisco Major.
LIS was tlto 4IlUSI ld4kGu III Q6GlSlOn
In the show. First prize should have
gone to Major. without a doubt I
can not see where Pap scores over
Major In any one place. Major is a
better size, scores heavily in type,
character, eye. substance. coat, and Is
q better made dog right through. and
when 1t comes to quality there is no
comparison. Pap is q leggy dog, long
in back. nat sided, lacks expression
and was out OF coat. making his
faults more glaripg
