TOENT.ER HONEYBOY'
|N.CAP|TAL DOG SHOW
English Bull Terrier Expected to
Make Other CANNES Look to
Their Laurels.

"Honeyboy." an English bull terrier
owned by Mrs. Robert N. Harper, OF
1916, Sixteenth street, will be entered in
the forthcoming Washington dog show,
and is expected to make the other
CANNES Of high degree look to their
laurels.
''Honeyboy'' is only nine months old.
but despite his youth he is an ex-
perienced trophy lander. If he does not
romp off with a blue or red ribbon or
other high award at the show next
month 1t will be due to the fact that
better English bull terriers, are shown
there than were exhibited at the recent
New York and Baltimore shows.
At the Baltimore show ''Honeyboy'
only won a blue and a red ribbon and
a silver cup. He might have won more.
his owner says. but for the fact that
there was nothing more for him to win.
In New York "Honeyboy" outpointed,
outlooked, and outciassed his competi-
tors, with the result that he was deco
rated with a blue and n red ribbon.
Mrs. Harper believes the other owners
of English bull terriers entered in the
coming dog show are due for a disap-
pointment because OF 'THoneyboy's"
nabit OF collecting ribbons.
