JUDGES ARGUED LONG
BEFORE PICKING BEST

However certain the spectators were
that either Of George W. Quintard's
wire haired fox terriers, Matford Vac
or WirebOy Of Paignton, would win the
trophy for the best in the show, re-
suit pointed out BY the success OF his
entries IN the specials, open TO all, for
the best brace and the best team, there
was no such advance unanimity OF
opinion among the five judges-Hop-
ton. Dole, Breese, Sem and Whittem.
Each tackled the job with an earnest
ness in urging the claims of his favor
ite breed as though the judging in the
open variety class yesterday had az
fOrded line as TO what would be the
ultimate result of their delibers lions.
HOpton and Dole stood out for the
wire-haired fox terriers only &C a COM
promise from their first loves, with
Hopton, a Pomersnian. French poodle
or bulldog. while Dole throughout
would have put up the pick of the bull
terriers or an Airedale
The first choice with Judge Breese
was a bulldog, Ch. Oak Mana, Judge
Whittem favoring the Scottish terrier
COnQuerOr, while Judge Sem, one OF
the oldest fanciers of the two breeds
in the United States, would have liked
best 10 put up an English toy or
japanese spaniel. The judges reviewed
and handled all of the big and little
dogs in turn, and the energy with
which they argued the claims Of their
respective favortes suggested at times
the preliminary 10 a free fight.
Finally, after an interval in which
four of the judges had turned the cold
shoulder 10 each other and walked of
90 opposite ends OF the ring, Judge
Hopton, by assiduous efforts as a mes
senRer Of peace. brought them -Ogether
for another ballot.
The bulldog Oak Mana, the Scottish
terrier Conqueror and the wire-haired
fox terrier Matford Vic were by this
time the only ones that had not been
eliminated Finally the judges united
on the selection of the fox terrier, but
Judge Whittem would not yield TO
make the vote unanimous until it had
been practically settled that the re-
serve was TO 60 TO the Scottish terrier.
The latter award was made by vote
Of three to two.
Winthrop Rutherfurd's smooth-coat-
ed fox terrier CT. Warren Remedy is
the only other deg on the annals as a
winner for two years Of the best at the
show trophy at the Garden. For the
dog to gain this distinction. TO be also
a member Of the best brace and the
best team, gained by Matford Vic, has
only been equalled once before at New
York, which was in 1914, when the late
Mrs. Tyler Morse won the three spe-
cials with her Old English sheepdogs
and Slumber made the record now du-
plicated By Mr.. Quintard's terrier.
