The PshlnGese made his bow-wow a
the Plaza Hotd yesterday morning. lie
bow-wowsd himself out last night. For
day the ugly Vvg-dos Of the heavens
had the run Of the ballroom. II was
the fourth annual show Of the Picking
csc Club Of America. Four hundred
dogs were entered. They came from ell
over. some from the end OF the CONT
nent. some from across the water. Dur
Ing the day the ballroom looked like =
matinee. Evening clothes and beauti-
full toilettes brought II into Its own at
night.
There was some dog at the show.
The Pekingese came in their silks and
satins. and were accompanied by their
maids. They arrived In baskets and
made their domlciles in-not in common
dog houses-bisss me. no! The majority
Of them had wire mansions. A few lived
in glass houses. lined with silver. Mrs.
Donald Brian's six months old pup
was In . glass jar. You lifted what
appeared to be . kimono from the top
Of the jar. and expected to find an ex-
tract Of oGrgonsola cheese. Instead.
there was the pup inside. lying on .
couch Of sAk.
'Oh! Tse tunniA' sing!'
It was a girl who said that And she
called Il other things. isn't It q lamb.

Very exclusive are the PekinSAse.
They af~ not allowed TO look upon other
doogiss whom they 70 abroad. They
bark at the ordinary mastiff. Great
Dane. bull pup and other canine low
brows. The average bark Of the Picking
- 1T seems . sacrilege to say ''dos'O
sounds like the popping OF a peanut
shell. Sometimes they bark as loud as
the opening OF . bottle OF sarsaparilla.
Nearly all the owners Of the Picking
csc entered In the bench show were
ladies'. Once In a while q man would
carry . Pekingess mite up on the plat
form and show II to the judges. Lady
and girl experts crowdt about the plat
form. sitting right close W. like their
fathers, husbands and brothers do At q
prixe-nght. The dogs we're divided into
thirty-nine classes. One wouldn't think
that there we're that many canine va
rietiss in the Picking family. but that's
what happened. .. &C.,
They judged the dear little things

same time. The ladies' would hold their
precious pets In one Of their arms. and
the judges looked them over-the pets.
Then the dogEtes would be let down
on the platforms their owners holding
them by a leash. The first thing q
Pekingese did when he got on the ground
was to bark at another Pekingese. The
air was full, Of popping peanuts. Then
came the action. Some OF the dogs were
rel active. Others looked up longingly
to the am they had been dropped from
bored son at being OBLIGED to 20 through
the exercise Of walking before ordinary
