body and back OF the eyes is an ex-
treneiy hard one to fault. but he lacks
the hnish OF foreface found In the win

hindauarters. John w. Minturn brought
out a good one In Rockllffe Lord Bril-
liant which was reserve TO Beaming in
the dogs winners class. Many ring
sders thought that he was OF sufficient
msri, to go through to winners. but the
Judge, Charles G. Hopton. explained that
be found that Brilliant had a slight de-
fec, In his eye and also was inclined to
be swayed back. He said that these
were his reasons for not placing him

The show brought out many new dogs.
Among those that made a good showing
was Mrs. c. n. Platt's Duke OF Plaza
Toro, a fallow and white smut dog that
arrived IN this country last week. The
Duke is a very good headed lightweight
and shows heavy bone. a short COLBY
body and is a very sound good mover.
He won the limit and open under
forty-hve pound class and made a
strong bid for winners honors. Mrs.
Plati's Astoria Kennels accounted for
the largest entry n also o more
blue ribbons than any other kennel. As

The show was well ~patronized and a
feature that was noticed by all was the
fact that the majority OF exhibitors
were either noviccs in the breed or
owGe.s OF but one or two dogs. The
larger kennels owned 10y Thomas w.
Lawson, Alex. Stewart OF Chicago and
Robert Lobban Of Newark, as well as
the famous Woodcratt team owned by
HArry RJshton. were not entered and
The competition was divided among the
small exhibitors and one or two of the
larger kennels. Such dogs as Cham.
p.ons Strathtay Prince Albert, Dream
void Centaur. Goswell Monarch and
Drewstoue Pike did not put in an APP
pesrance, and while the entry was good
and the American breds shown were OF
a very nigh order the show did not
contain The best of the breed which are
N It's country.
\ win which called forth the most APP
rlause Was when Champion Beaming
Be-. an American bred owned and bred

class over forty pounds. In this class
she defeated such good imported specI-
mems a. Champion Florence Bhunda,
Norton Rosetta and tfagon. Beaming
Bell was also placed as reserve to Oak
Mana In the bitch winners class.
The quality OF the American breds
present testified TO the skill of the
American breeders, and many OF them
made the best imported dogs extend
themselves for premier honors. In

BY the Drewstone' Kennels, scored a
7opu.ar win and also was a contender

rare quality was the philadelphia win
