Rainev. who invested that sum in the
wonderful wire-haired fox terrier
Conejo Wycollar Boy, but yesterday
she was disappointed.
Oh. Wireboy Victor.
Her establishment came in the
variety classes, for open dogs and
bitches of any breed. in which Wycollar
Boy was second 20 George W. Gum
tard's famous wire-haired terrier en-.
Wireboy of Paignton, with the same
owners Oh. Raby Dazzler third and
Nickery kennels Airedale Nickery
Soubrette fourth.
Last year Wireboy was reserve TO the
Quintard entry Oh. Matford Vic for the
best dog in the show. but all this week
Mrs. Rainey's English stranger has
been sweeping all before him. Yes
terday marked his first meeting with
Mr. Quintard's dog, and tho four judges
decided Wireboy was IN better coat
than Wycollar, although both are grand
specimens of the breed.
il was perhaps just as well, for the
sake of peace in the wire-haircd fam
ilv. that Wycollar was defeated, for
Wircboy of Paignton Is the father OF
Mrs. Rainey's dog and would never
have been able to hold up his head
again If his preSumlng son had been
victorious.
Dog fancicrs saw more than this IN
the victory of Wireboy of Paignton,
however for they believe It foretells
what will happen when the award for
the best dog in the show is made to-
day. The first three dogs in this class
were wire-haired fox terriers, although
bulldogs, Maltese terriers, Pomerani-
ans. Old English sheepdogs. besg les
and Airedsles were in the ring with
them. .,
The sweep made by the wire-hsired
dogs indicates, according TO those who
are presumed 20 know, that one Of this
breed will be judged best Of all dogs
to-day. The Judges explained the sue
cess Of the breed by saying that the
wire-hairs are getting truer TO type
than any other variety in this coun-
try. When II comes down 20 the final
test FOR the best dog, however. CHI.
Matford VIC ~ certain TO make a great
bid for the honors she now holds.
Y seemed 20 be "the consensus OF
opinion" as they say In prizefght cir
cies. that Conejo Wycollar Boy was
going 10 earn this highest honor in
the dog world. and his downfall yes
torday, therefore. came in the nature
Of a shock. that is to the layman.
Even Wycollar seemed TO feel humili-
ated after II was all over and sulked
in his kennel with his head between
his paws Father was right" seemed
TO be his sentiment.
After al exhaustive investigation OF
all the ! 700 dogs benched at the Gar
den this year, we have decided that
Champion Jamars, snow white Sa-
moyede. owned by the Greenscre Ken
nels. Is the "snoopiest" dog in the
show. Jsmsrs Is the only one Of his
breed IN the Garden and perhaps he
imsgines that gives him special privi-
lCges; at any rate, his chief occupation
consists in prying into other dogs at
fairs
Almost all day yesterday Jsmara
stood up on his hindlegs and peeped
over the edge Of his kennel so he
could see what the Old English sheep
dogs were up 10. These gentle, inof-
fensive members of the canine race
never discuss scandal and always mind
their own business, so Jamara had
little TO reward him for his inquisi-
tiveness.
The show will close tonight at
1890 o'clock, and five minutes after
the last class has been judged, the
dogs will begin packing up their
trunks and belongings, preparatory 70
descending upon Philadelphia, where
they are next due 90 appear in the
show ring
