DAINTY MAID COMES
IN FOR HONORS, TOO
AriStocracy of Lapdogdom on
Parade in Annual Fixture
at Waldorf.

Oh. Swectsir Of Dyker, the wonder
Maltese terrier, owned by Mrs. James
Gardner Rossman, swept all before him
at the twelfth annual show of the Toy
Spaniel Club of America last night.
Sweetsir is pronounced by experts as
the most perfect specimen of the breed
since the days of the famous On. Hugh
of England. which was a world famous
champion in 1915. His measurements
are identical with those Of ne iamouS
English champion.
Swcctsir of Dyker was declared the
best dog Of hi, breoG. and. not content
with that. captured all the lesser non
ors as well lie captured tho blue ~
the open class, likewise IN the winners
classes. and then, 20 TOP of an evening
of achievement. won five specials.
Dainty Maid of Dykcr swept the decks
in the classes for bitches. and was
ranked second TO her kennel mate Tor
highest honors.
The triumph of Mrs. Rossman's "a
vorite was not unexpected. lie De- bred
In the purple. and his pedigre has IN
champions Of note in both England and
America. He won the title Of champion
at the age Of thirteen months and three
days, the youngest Maltese terrier
champion on record. There is not
single flaw 10 be picked in the con
formation of this wonderful terrier.
and the only word against his char
acter is that he so far forgot himself
as 10 win a blue ribbon from his
mother, Dyker Doll Second which had
never been beaten before.
The winner is perfect type Of the
King Charles spaniel. The head H. well
domcd, the eyes almost black and the
eyel DIS square. He il we'll proper
toned. with good chest, broad OF
back and with good limbs. His low
set ears approach the ground, and his
silky coat. well kept and silklfke in
texture, give him the air OF the canine
arstocrat.
Had Deermont King. perfect though
be is. been shown against Ariadne the
champion bitch from the Greeuacre
Kennels. the Judges would have been
sore pressed. Ariadne is one Of the
most perfect specimens OF the breed
In the show. She defeated Mrs. Z. ].
Halls Deermont Rosemary after a BIZ
of a fight.
Mrs. K. f. Mayhem had a few words
10 say "touchin' on and appertainin'
10" the Judges. and her ire was aroused
when Fox Hill Highfycr was placed
behind Miss Kennedy's Bunny Black
thorn In the Pomeranian puppy classes.
The critics said that Fox Hill Highhyer
made by far the better showing. He
entered the show ring with all the
easy assurance Of an experienced cam
paiener. Bunny Blackthorn entered the
ring in "a bad mood. His mind wasn't
on the competition apparently, for he
sulked and dragged his tail along the
ground. To the layman this tail drag
cling doesn't mean much, but IN canine
society it is a fatal sin, punishable by
cstracism.
Mrs. ". +. Hardy is a sportsman
tbrougl and through. and she braved
the fire BY saying a word IN defence OF
the Judges. Her champion Chu Yen o.
Toddiugton was placed second 10 Mrs.
Rose Knights Tye See of Egham m the
competition for the best Peklngese IN
the show. This is the second year IN
succession that I've See of Egham has
won the cup for the best dog OF her
breed.
