Makes Five Recommends
tons as Substitute for the
Severe Measures Urged
by Goldwater..
Editor:

kennel Editor:
81 have been asked what policy could
be recommended to the Board OF
Health as a substitute for the unneces-
sarily severe and drastic measures ad-
vocated by DR.. Goldwater, who pub
licly announces his purpose is eventu-
ally to make New York dogless city.
"The following are some recon-
mendations which | believe are along
sane and reasonable lines and winch
would be supported by large major
ity of true dog lovers:
First adjudication of the present
muzzling ordinance, 50 that all dogs
must be either on leash or properly
muzzled while on public highways and
in public places. 49,,
"Second-An ordinance which VIII
reouire all dogs 20 be licensed. The
license tag 70 be large enough 20 be
easily distinguished by officers while
on duty or the streets; the shape or
color to be changed each year so as
10 be easily distinguished (owners to
be urged to put their name and address
on reverse side of license tag).
"Third-Strict enforcement of the
two above ordinances, aided by the
active cooperation of all true dog
lovers.
"Fourth-An advisory committee Of,
say, five members, TO be known as dog
owners and dog lovers advisory COM
mittee' (or some suitable name), who
shall advise with the Society for Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals and the
city authorities in devising ways and
means for economically and effectively
Kidding the streets of stray and I'M
licensed dogs and cats.
This committee should be truly
representative of dog owners and dog
lovers, and could be selected annually
at caucus of representatives from
every recognized dog and kennel asso-
citation and humane association inter-

the winner is a wonder He is just a
shade long in body, lacks depth of brls-
ket and might move better in hooks.
Apart from this he is about the best
ever imported.
Bitch puppies found Hearts Desire,
a Brooklyn bred, comfortably the best,
but she was the "whipper-in" when II
came TO American breds, where the
philadelphia nomination, Red Star
light. won, but with little TO spare.
however, when it came to bone and
body, where many fancied the Bos-
tonian. Larchmere Perpetua, with the
very smart Princess Peggy third.
Limit bitches aroused some excite
ment when Red Starlight met Brler-
gate Bright Lady, recent importation,
and York Sunshine, a dark horse"
from the York Kennel. After very
careful examination the first two were
placed as written. with the latter un-
placed. Apart from her rather light
eve she is quite the equal of any IN the
class. The keenest struggle, however,
came in the open, where the famous
English champion, Polam Milkmaid,
met the popular American bred. Bing-
ley Blossom, which was not IN good
form, and on the day was decidedly
lucky TO beat the Milkmaid, which,
apart from length of body, had much
the best of il and should have won.
Still. il takes a very sincere judge 70
award both championships, at such an
important show, TO the same kennel,
and many thought this threw the bal
ance in favor Of Bingley Blossom, who
was certainly not in championship
form and was comfortably beaten for
best of the breed by Ryburn Swell, the
award being most popular and well
deserved.
Il is pleasing 20 note that the trend
Is toward the larger specimen. Inc
Airedale is essentially a working dog,
and the club used wise discretion IN
adding TO the standard the following:
at is the unanimous opinion OF the
club that the size of the Airedale ter
rier as given in the standard is one OF,
IL not the most. important characters
tics of the breed. All judges who shall
henceforth adjudicate on the merits
of the Airedale terrier shall consider
understood specimens Of the breed Sc
verely handicapped when competing
with dogs of the standard weight.
and that any Of the clubs judges
who. in the opinion of the committee,
shall give prizes or otherwise push 10
the front dogs Of smaller type, snail
be ut once struck off the list OF spe-
cialist judges" =.
The size advocated is, dogs. 40 to DO
pounds, bitches, slightly less.

GOOD FRENCH BULLS
SEEN AT SHOW
Large Entry Attracted by
Club Match for the
Breed.

Prominent society folk and many
well known exhibitors patronized the
club match Of French bulldogs held at
the Albemarle-IIoifman on Friday
night. when the best collection of
puppies and noyices seen for many
months faced William Brueggeman, of
Staten Island Mr.. Brueggeman, who
made his debut as a judge, pleased
everybody with his very consistent
awards.
Thanks 20 MIR. Hamm, owner of The
Doll Girl and other noted winners, and
Mr.. Ritchey. one Of the large salons
Of the Albemarle had been prepared
for the show with every possible con-
yenience and ample space for those
present TO witness the judging. Among
the large crowd were exhibitors from
Boston, Mount Vernon, Newark, Ha-
worth. Newburgh in fact, nearly every
one Of prominence connected with the
breed turned out 10 assist in making
the closing match of 1914 the best Of
the series.
Dog puppies under six months brought
in two extremes, and as rs usually the
case the smallest dog had the largest
name. The winner was Qui Vive, a
very promising black brindle from
Brooklyn, bred and owned by Grant
hoffman. which had an easy victory
over the wee reddish brindle Prince de
Savoy Little Boy. much above the aver
age, but far too young for competition
Novice dogs were a good lot and took
some judging. The victory of Little
Porthos. owned and shown by Mrs. j.
Baird. Of Brooklyn. was greeted with
much applause, this being the first time
in four years that Mrs. Baird has ex
hibited. little Porthos won easily.
Qui Vive, lacking the finish of face Of
the winner, was second. Then came the
most impressive dog in the class, Cen
eral Hunk, an exceptionally typical
light brindle, which when standing still
seemed the easiest kind of winner, but
on being moved it was seen that both
hooks were far too straight and weak,
which completely spoiled his chances.
Open dogs followed. where George
Mccormack won with his very massive
dark brindle Dandy. This is quite one
Of the most impressive big dogs out
to-day, especially good in skull. with
perfect ears and compact body. He
could do with more wrinkle and finish
20 face. Second went 10 Roylat Por-
thos. much on the same type, but not
so square in muzzle and lacking the
perfect cars Of the winner.

Unwilling to Give Up Their
Rowing Fixture at
Poughkeepsie for
New Plan.

Columbia rowing men look with dis
favor on the plan proposed by the re-
Gently organized Collegiate Rowing As
ISOLATION of America to substitute for
the Poughkeepsie and New London re
gattas a Henley week" at which all
college and university crews would meet
in short races, and thereby provide, IN
addition TO the weeks sport, way TO
establish the true rowing champion.
As prelude to the big regattas, 1t is
agreed at Columbia that such pro-
posed Henley would undoubtedly be OF
great benefit TO rowing as sport, but
speaking for the Poughkeepsie race.
they feel that the tradition that has
been established through twenty years
on the Hudson is one that should be
maintained. and not thrown into the
discard. They are backed by the alumni
rowing authorities in this feeling, and
therefore it is hardly possible that Co
lumbia will take an active part in put
ing the proposed scheme into opera
ton.
Jim Rice, who has coached the Co
lumbia crews for seven years, thinks
that rowing as a sport would be greatly
benefited by the proposed Henley, but
ne, 700, uOeS not SEE tHdb any auNah
tage would follow the abandoning of
the Poughkeepsie regattas. Rice said
Yesterday that the scheme proposed by
the undergraduate rowing associations
at their recent meeting is one that
would cause a boom in rowing which
would result in the extention of the
sport to colleges, large and small, which
do not see their way clear under pres
ent conditions 10 boat crews, largely
because of the heavy financial outlay
involved.

SHEPHERD DOGS
HARD TO GET
Gross Says German and
Belgian Governments
Have Taken Best.

Otto II. Gross, who returned from
Germany yesterday, says that 1t is al
most impossible to purchase trained
German shepherd dogs in either Ger
many or Belgium. All the best dogs
have been taken by the governments.
In many of the Belgian regiments sol
diers have taken pet dogs to the front
with them.
Friendship between England and
japan has been reflected in the increas-
ing numbers of Japanese spaniels
across the waters.
Theodore Offerman is going to run
the risk of danger from German cruls-
ers. storms and all the rest Of the
perils Of ocean voyage at this season
of the year in order TO act as judge at
the Birmingham show in January. Mr..
Offerman will judge Airedales.
Cottage Missile, an English toy span
iel from the Cottage Kennels at Mama

Three brothers -RuaioT, Martin and
Rowland Baldwin-have started new
Airedale kennel at Cos Cob, Conn.
Their selections so far have been from
the Kennels of Andrew Albright, jr.,
J and John McGough.
There will undoubtedly be a record
entry list of Pekes at the meeting next
month of the English Toy Spaniel
Club. Many of the owners are anxious
TO get an English rating on the merit
of their dogs.
Those in a position to know think
that Miss Annie Tracy will be judge
