history as one OF The best conducted and
prettiest benched shows seen on the
green.
The show was distinctive IN the num-
Der of new dogs introduced for the first
time to the show ring. Among them
were II. Henken's English bulldog Duke
VIII. very promising son OF the late
Bayardo: Mrs. J. c. Mallory's Peking-
ese spaniels. Wonchi of Egham and Nea
Chinky Chu. two very fine specimens
shown here for the first time. John T.
Horraxs massive brindle pied English
bulldog, Lord Nerax, which he pur-
chased at the recent Westminster show.
where he was on the bench for exhlbi-
tion only. Lord Neray Is one OF the
heaviest boned dogs on tie bench to-day.

quality young dog, which won first

entry Of dogs OF quality. Mrs. d. ID.

frsts. but met defeat In the winners
class by George Parker's Clipstone Star

that was as pleasing as Il is rare In the
Boston classes.

Some disappointment was occasioned by
the absence OF the unbeaten Patrick
Oorang. which was entered, but failed
to show up In the ring. The young
American bred Gee Long Cadet repeated
his charity show performance OF going
through his classes to winners.
Quite an upset occurred In the Eng

when Champion Crissie Denton and
Champion Florence Bhundha were placed
over the Rockliffe Kennels great Cham
pion Oak Mana, considered by many
American and English judges to be tho
greatest bitch ever seen In this coun-
try. This class brought out three Of the

even getting reserve winners was .
shock to the ringsiders.
