his great string Of wire-haired fox ter
riers, a reign that included winning the
trophy for the best of any breed at
nearly every big dog show in the Unit
ed States. George W. Quintard, 3d. the
plucky Long Island amateur fancier
had TO accept defeat for his string yes
terday. His fall came at the four
teenth annual fixture of the Ladies'
Kennel Association of America. The
incident was one of the notable hap
penings Of the Mineola show.
With a benching of nearly 900 and
a large attendance Of fanciers from all
parts of the United States, the action
began early. Each of the twelve rings
was an attraction for followers Of one
or the other breeds In both the fox
terriers and the Airedales, the breeds
in which the awards were the greatest
reversals of the standards set by the
experts at recent shows East and West,
the highest honors were gained by the
entries from the Vickery Kennels, Of
Darlington, H., suburb Of Chicago.
Englishman Chief Judge.
r. r. Baines, an Englishman, who
came here especially to judge the show
was the chief wearer of the ermine.
Taking the smooths as a starter, Judge
Baines picked out Vickery Top Mark
and the Texas bred Sabine Reforma-
ton as the best and reserve in winners
dogs, and winner in the same class for
the opposite sex was Surprise Of
Paignton, owned by Otto w. Lehman,
Of Chicago.
Highest interest in his placings came
when he selected Vickery Masked Mar
vel, white dog with one tan ear, as
victor in the winners class Tor wire
coated dogs. This sterling youngster

over for the last New York show, i'm
February. Arriving too late 20 be
benched, he was brought into the ring
by George S. Thomas, the importer, on
the last night to be shown to a select
group of fanciers. Thomas made q
mystery of the dog, for he had private
reasons TO believe it would make a
sensation the first time out, and
Charles II. Perrin. OF the Vickery Ken
nels, paid a long chance for the new
conner, said to be $4,000, and as joke
said he would bring II out at Mineola
as the Masked Marvel"

indicated Thomas's belief and PERKINS,
confidence in his judgment. The re-
