ldklhB advantage OF lnt luedl WeNlu-
er that prevailed yesterday, thousands
of dog lovers viewed the large collec-
tion of thoroughbred prize winners at
the opening session of the annual two
day dog show at the Delaware State
Fair 1t is seldom that such a collec-
tion of CANNES is assembled at one
time, their being nearly forty different
breeds exhibited by over l35 exhibitors
from many parts of the country. The
majority, however, are from Delaware,
Maryland and Pennsylvania, although
New York, Virginia, New Jersey, New
Mexico, Massachusetts, and the District
of Columbia are represented. The show
is held in n large tent erected at the
rear of the race track, and it will con
tinue this afternoon when the final
awards win be made.
With 3S breeds to be judged in the
two days, two judges started work on
them about noon yesterday and by .
! o'clock had cleaned the slate OF p,
mostly of the smaller varieties, leaving
sixteen of the more important breeds
for today, among these being bulldogs,
Bostons, collies, beagles and toy
poodles. The judges were Mrs. +. S.
/ Allard of Huntington, l.. l., who passed
upon "Poms," Pekingese and giffons, and
Charles G.. Hopton, of New York, who
handled nineteen breeds, some of them
large, out of the 26 he was scheduled
TO pass upon. Mr. Hopton put in a
strenuous afternoon, working while not
well, and his awards afforded entire
satisfaction.
An amusing incident occurred dur
/ ing the show yesterday afternoon.
! Mrs. G. l.. Hayward, of No 306 West
! Fifty-frst street, New York, who is
exhibiting the PelOngese Fan Tan
of Esterro," decided that the weather
was a little too cool for her pet, and
she so informed her male attendant.
He started out on a search for COW
ering for the little animal, and meet
ing a woman with a baby carriage he
offered to buy one of the blankets
which were wrapped around the baby.
The woman agreed, and the blanket
changed hands for 75 cents, and in
a short time Fan Tan" was warmly
encased in the wrap while the baby
was forced to stand the cool weather
with the remaining wraps The wo-
man refused to divulge her name.
One of the heaviest winners yes
terday was the Greenacre Kennel,
which cleaned up everything in Eng
lish toy specials, japanese spaniels
and Chows with total entry of 10
dogs, six of which were English
toys. other heavy winners in vari-
GUS breeds were the Swiss Mountain
Kennels who swept the boards in
POmeranians, and E. w. Jester OF
Wilmington, who captured everything
worth winning in cocker spaniels.
