philadelphia. March 3.-f'or the first
,,,rs in the history OF the Philadelphia
vsnnel club show the Judging failed to
,,ks Mace on scheduled time. but how
could one expect mere cog show TO run
an schedule time when railroads were
making no pretence of doing so?
The show, which opened at Horticultural
Hall to-day, gave promise of being the
most successful I'm the history OF the CLUB,
I'M, even the most exemplary OF super
,c,sndents could not cope with such ODDS
- George Foley encountered. Some of
tina dogs arrived at the hall, but enough
~ the contestants were snowbound 10
make Judging impossible, except IN lie"
breeds.
Among the shining lights which did not
shine in the Quaker City to-day were Is.
u TROOPS string of German sheepoogs'
John Minturns Pekingese and bulldogs
the Titania Kennels Russian wolf
hounds. the Vickery Kennels Airedales
and wlre-haired fox terriers, Harry Husn-
TONS bulldogs. English toys from the
Rosemary Kennels, and Miss Theodore
Wubours Pomeranians.
Iules Ferond essayed the judging OF
trenches late in the afternoon, but the
fact that Skidar's Princess was not on
hand was a keen disappointment TO every
one. SNdars Princess promised TO be the
csrtre of attraction in the matroh
classes.
In this division Mr.. Ferond's AWARDS
we're entirely pleasing TO the rlngsloers'
OF whom there were no lack. In the WIN
ming dog which the judge chose however
few saw the fine points which are so es-
sential in the French bulldog. The winner
VAS Mrs. Howard Sellerss Hugo of Mill
bourne a large dog. which was inclined 10
he q bit down-faced. Hugo is dark,
handsome brindle of good general type
good in pasfern, but trihe coarse.
The popular choice was Mrs. Arnold
Lawson's Noswal Nimrod, which was
quite overlooked in the final roundup.
Nimrod has a good roach back, wonder
full head and, best OF all, any amount of
quality. Mrs Edward Atkins lie MerVell-
leuX. the reserve winner, was good niue
dog. but his back was perhaps trife
d;pped-at least IT lacked the splendid
roach of Nin.rod.
Coquette De Bourbon, from the BOURBON
Kennels, was the best of her sex and also
the best of the breed In her the know
ing ones see a coming champion, for she
has plenty OF bone and rare quality. II
shs has a fault it is that she is shade
long in the back. The reserve winner
Mrs Edward Atkins's Porsaire, was what
is described as a nice little dog.
James Watson took poodles. but they
were few in number and it did not take
him long 10 place them. H. G. Trevor's
Judge ". repeated the performance which
he gave when he made his debut by go
ing from puppies to winners. He Is n
handsome youngster just nine months
Old and he defeated Miss Anna NJ. Clyde's
Buster for first honors
H. ". Shepherds Jewelette was first
choice IN the matron class. She IS
we'll known winner. and put in reserve
Mr. Trevors Tuckahoe.
Mr. Watson also had charge OF Chi
hlahuss. r. j. McGovern's champion
Gold Bug had walkover in dogs. al
though he looked good enough to have
won In strong company. Only two
matrons were shown. They were Mrs.
Edna Craig Sankss Mara Posa and T.
j. McGoverrs Bonita. which was re-
serve winner.
Judging will begin in real earnest to-
morrow morning. as it is expected that
some Of the involuntary renegades will
appear over night.
Among the spectators to-day we're Lord
and Lady Lytton, Sir William Savory
and Holland Buckley. who have charge
Of several Of the important breeds: Mrs.
