of Mr.. Albright's noted smooth fox
terrier Marconian, which bids fair TO
be as fine as his father, which is the
highest praise one can bestow. Mr..
Albright is seriously considering the
advisability of sending Marconlan to
England next winter, to compete with
Englsnd's best.
When the steamship Minnehaha ar
rived in port last week she was met by
any number of fanciers who were re-
ceiving dogs from London. Pekes,
Poms, Skye terriers. and even one
Cairn terrier reached America in safe
~. A. B. Thomson, who owns the Boy
den Kennels, at Staten Island, was on
hand to welcome the English winning
Airedale terrier Kindale Crack.
Crack swept everything before him
in his native land, and his victories
were legion. He was fortunate enough
to capture the gold medal at Otley,
Yorkshire, last year, which is one OF
the most important shows in England.
Crack has wonderful coloring, the in
tense gold Of his body and the rich
black saddle making him conspicuous
in any gathering.
Mr.. and Mrs William T. Drew. Joint
owners Of the Drewstone Kennels, IN
Mount Vernon, returned from England
last week on the Olympic. bringing
with them a number of England's best
bulldogs.
Mrs. Drew is a strong advocate Of
the American bred. but she said that
she could not resist these dogs. which
were purchased from Frank Walker
In the lot are two lightweight matrons,
two miniatures and four puppies. The
Drewstone Kennels have heretofore
been devoted solely 20 English bulls,
but Mrs. Drew capitulated when she
saw some adorable Pekes, and the lot
she brought with her TO America will
form the nucleus of new kennel.
John L. HorraX, who sailed with the
Drews when they left for England. did
not return with them Mr.. Horrax is
in great demand on the other side as a
judge Of Eneland's national dog and
has adjudicated at several Of the lead
ing shows. This is on unsual honor
for an American abroad, but Mr.. Hor-
rax joins with a complete knowledge
Of the breed modcsty that is most
unusual and therefore most attractive.
Mr.. HorraX is the secretary of the Bull
dog Breeders Association of America
and he is so popular that the fancy has
combined in congratulating him on his
success as judge in England.
W. Ross Proctor, one Of the most
recent recruits TO the Sealyham terrier
fancy. left for England last week, where
he intends TO spend the time in look
ing for material to strengthen his
kennels. Mr.. Proctor's most recent
importation is Grand Stain, dog
which is considered one Of the best in
the country. Welsh Rarebit. a young
matron, has repeatedly been chosen as
the best Of the breed.
Grant hoffman has been unable TO
find d trace Of his good Frenchie,
Savoir Faire, which disappeared at the
recent show of the Long Island Ken
mel Club at Sheepshead Bay. Mr.. Not
man has no idea as to the manner in
which his dog was lost track of;
whether Savoir Fare was stolen or
whether he slipped his moorlngs and
started out alone into the wide, wide
world probably never Will be known.
At any rate. Mr.. hoffman asks every one
10 be Oh thc LOOKOUT ana Should tntF
run across an accounted-for Frenchle
not to pass it by with a cursory glance,
but 70 ascertain, if possible, whether
it may not be the long lost Savoir
Fairc.
