MIA. where she has been collecting for

sian wolfhounds and fox terriers. The

Is $50 and the array OF prizes is the
most valuable given to any OF the
breeds as special awards.
This year fully so per cent Of the
special trophies are TO be won out
right, which is an unusually large pro-
portion. The fashion seems TO have
cl anged, for three-win and similar
trophies with strings 10 them are no
longer popular in comparison with the
prizes TO be won outright
