Ring to Ring.

AMONG BULL TERRIERS

The Mineola Fair Grounds were the
scene yesterday OF succession of up
heavals which kept the spectators and
exhibitors rushing from ring to ring, in
order 10 keep up with the new decisions
which were turning things topsy-turvy.
1t was the twelfth annual summer show
OF the Ladies' Kennel Association OF
America. and whatever else might be
said of it, it could never be relegated to
the list Of dun affairs"
Exhibitors met one another tearing
wildly around the shady paths and would
stop long enough to exclaim, Did you
see what the judge did in that ring
Yes; and now / must watch him place
this breed They say he will do Some
thing sensational"
Spectators had gathered from the four
corners Of Long Island and in the rings
where the more popular breeds were
Judged il was impossible TO see anything
that was going on inside the inclosure.
What was probably the biggest surprise
Of the day occurred in bull terriers, with
were placed by W. Howard West. In
spite Of the gasps of wonder which went
on around the ring. Mr.. West continued
on his way undismayed. 1t did not take
long to realize that something was 60
ing to happen, for in puppy dogs Wex
Jones showed his First Blood, the young
ster which appeared in the puppy class
at the Long Island Kennel club Snow
last Saturday and was chosen as the
hest OF the breed over Noross Radiant,
he winning bitch.
First Blood was Just as wonderful as
ever. but Mr.. West did not even recog-
nize him. He chose for the winner
dog called Namirreh Duke. bull terrfer
with an exceedingly good head. There
was an Earl and Prince of the same
brand which got second and third.
In the open class Glenedyth Imperator
vac nlaced over the wonderful champion,
Sound End Sombrero, one of the most
perfect dogs that ever has appeared IN
America This simply meant that I'M
nerator was IN grand form and that SOM
brero was off a bit and those who appre-
ciated this agreed that Mr.. Vests cholce
was not unfair. 1t was in the winners
class. however. that the surprise came
when Impcrator was first choice and SOM
brero was quite overlooked, the reserve
going to Duke.
In wire haired foXterriers, the mee'"hs
