DISCUSSES DECISION

hind NOrOss P~atrician Still
Talked About.

A. a sort Of preliminary to the big
Westminster show the Bull Terrier Club
OF America held its eleventh annual
speciality show on Monday ip Grand
Central Palace. S~eventy-two actual
logs were entered. and what Is more
remarkable not one Of this number was
absent when the classes were called.
The means Of drawing this big entry,
said to be the largest in the annals OF
the club. was the selecting Of r. II.
Elliott Of Ottawa. Canada, ~ Judge.
This man is considered one Of the sound
est judges Of the all white terrier. and
when he judged the Westminster show
two years ago his work WAS so good
that the club decided that II would like
him TO adjudicate at its big fixture.
MIR. Elliott has bred and owned many
famous DOGS. the greatest being Cham
| pion Haymarket Blazer. a dog which
| defeated all the best dogs Of his day.
Although his work Monday WAS con-
sisteHt throughout and little fault could
be found with the decisions. ringside
! critics could not quite follow him when
he placed Champion Noross Patriclan
winners dogs. Patrlcian. which In
owned by Alan Northridgc. is a
grand type Of dog. but his nine years
OF axe have told " hin to such an
extent tina IIeamoor Ted. owned by
T. =. Bellin OF Albany. could have gone
over him on the day. Ted was shown
IN grand form and he is "A magnificent
animal. His head Ia good. body the
best and he In "a sound. good mover.
The outstanding thing about him was
his condition. He was trained to the
minute and every muscle stood out.
Mr.. Bellin If noted for the manner In
which he puts his logs down. They
are always NJ and II can never he said
that one Of his dogs lost through poor
condition.
The reason for this is that he cxer-
cises his dogs. Every morning AT 5 80
he IL UP with the dogs and he take
them for an hour and a half walk. \;
i In tho evening they 10 out on the
cash for another hour. and their well
developed muscular bodies show the
painstaking manner In which this rou-
tine is followed out. ON Monday con-
dition alone should have carried Ted

Noross Patrician has y maSsellous

shown overweight and his body line vas
