Dogs Had Their Day in the Second
Annual Original Dog Parade
on Wildwood's Boardwalk


under n auspices OF the WlluWoou
Kennel club, was held on the board
walk yesterday afternoon. The parade
formed at the Atlantic Pier and march
ed to the Ocean Pier where the prizes
were awarded to the winning dogs.
The parade was headed by Cianfoni's
band, Chief of Police Lester Smith and
little son and Chas. L. Heinle, then
followed the 118 dogs representative of
the classes in which they were entered.
There were dogs of pedigree and those
without; dogs of low degree and those
of exalted station. The pet of the
baby and the terrible bull were in close
proximity and pleasing features that
consisted of beautifully decorated roll
ing chairs and children's express
wagons that made up this unique par
ade that had its origin in Wildwood.
The line of parade had to be halted TO
allow the dogs a rest, particularly n
big bulls who pluckily resisted the
suns rays. Water was provided for
the parading dogs and all arrived in
good condition at the judges stand at
the Ocean Pier. Solid rows of specta-
tors lined either side of the marching
CANNES and loudly applauded the
proud doggies and their attendants.
