SC0TTIES COME TO FRONT.
Breed Furnishes Pleasant Surprise
TO Its Supporters.

One OF the most remarkable exhibits
at the Westminster show was furnished
by Scottish terriers, breed that has
come to the front so rapidly that the
entries exceeded those In any terrier breed
with the exception OF those ultra popular
strong competition made II the more
noticeable that there should be almost
sweep Of the prizes by the Scotties
from the Earlybird Kennels Of Walter
T. Stern.
with only one breed to represent him
Mr.. Stern was third In the list OF money
winners. excluding those kennels which
gained big prizes by pack exhibits. and
one Of the kennels In front was the
Vlckery Of Chicago, which had two breeds
To depend on for the Job OF earning cash
and ribbons.
Earlybird Kennels benched eleven dogs
and u was conceded generally that this
bench. which was trimmed with Royal
stuart tartan. was one OF the most attrac-
tive exhibits at the show. II not the most
attractive. The plaid formed an appro-
pirate background for the dark coated
Scots. Altogether Mr.. Stern won twenty
nine prizes. including cups and specials.
list OF the winnings:
Dogs-First and second puppy first and
second novice. second and third American
bred. first limit, first open and winners.
Btches-Reserve, puppy and novice,
third American bred first and second
limit, first and second open. first and
reserve in winners.
In addition tn. Earlybird Kennels took
first In brace and first In team. The
cup for the best Scottish terrier in the
show was won by Bapton Bcryl and six
or seven specials also went to the Stern
entries.
Speaking OF Bapton Beryi two OF the
English judges pronounced this bitch the
finest scottish terrier OF either sex In
the world. she has been In the country
about six weeks and has won eleven
points toward her championship ut three
shows within ten days time. The same
championship record Is applicable to
Earlyb!rd Troubadour, another OF tho re-
Gently imported ones. which WAS known
until recently a. Champion Ems Trouba-
dour. He took winners dogs at the West
minister show and scored with Bapton
Beryi at Newark and Boston. II they
win at Philadelphia next Tuesday they
will have gained championships In seven
teen days, record performance or very
close to It. These dogs havo passed sue
cessfuliy through the ordeal OF three dit
ferent Judges. Nintor L. Breese. VIII
Nichols and ". f. McCandlish. At Phila-
delph!a they will have to submit 10 the
judgment OF Holland Buckley, an English
man who arrived during the Westminster
show.
Both Troubadour and Sapton Beryi have
won their championships several times
over In England. and the former. though
only 3 years old, already has proved his
worth In the stud by string winners ut
this years English shows. Mr. Sterr.
whose kennels aro at Ossining. y. Y. has
been interested In Scottish terriers for the
past three years. during which time the
breed has advanced wonderfully In popu-
iarity. He has forty OF Atty OF these
