George S. Thomas, who Judged these
classes at the fifteenth annual show of
the Long Island Kennel Club. held last
Tuesday al the Gravesend racetrack

There was none OF that tiresome de-
lay and haggling over decisions that have
been seen at some shows where two or
moro Judges were In the ring. Thomas
went about his work in a thorough and
systematic manner. He gave every con-
testant IA careful going over. arrived at
his decisions quickly and there were no
criticism of his Judgment.
1t was n foregone conclusion that the
great little wire fox terrier Champion
Wire Boy of Paignton would ultimately
be returned the best in the show. How
ever. he had no walkover. as Mrs. Walter
Simmons beautiful Irish setter Cham
pion Wildwood Red Jacket was a worthy
foe. and the Judge deliberated between
the two for several minutes The fox

the famous wire Conejo Wycoilar Boy,
Mrs. Roy A. Rainey's great son OF Wire
Boy, had been there. He was entered,
and many fanciers were eager to see Just
how Thomas-who Is recognized as a
worlds authority on a terrier-would

A pleasing incident connected with
the Judging of the variety classes was
tho winning of the Maltese terrier
Champion Yankee Snow cloud. This
dog 10 said to be one OF the best IL not
the best specimen OF its breed in this
country. There has been a penchant
among Judges not to pay much atten-
tion to this breed and a Pom or Peke
Is usually selected as best toy. but IN
Tuesday Judge Thomas could see moth

It the blue.
