English Bred
Dog Best in
Collie Slow
Seedley Stirling Wins Blue
Ribbon ard Prize Over Sars-
field Wishaw Queen
By James s. Mitchell

An international mayor was impaired
70 the second annual speciality show OF
the Collie Club Of New York az Bryant
Hail yesterday, when America was
pitted agains: England in the special
for the best dog Of the show, irrespec-
tive OF sex.
England's representative was the 10
ternational champion dog Seedley Stir
ling, bred by Z. Lord Of the Seedley
Kennels, near Manchester, and for the
past two years owned by Mrs May s.
McCurdy. Of New Brunswick, y. j., and
America was represented b. Sarsheld
Wishaw Queen, owned By +. Tully, Of
this city, whose kennels are az Closter,
y. J. The rosette and the prize money
fell 20 the English dog, but By how
many points the judge did net say. AZ
any rate, the award occupied very little
time, for after feeling the skulls Of the
rivals the ribbon was handed TO Mrs.
McCurdy.
The contestants met under similar
conditions last year at Washington,
when under a different judge the de-
cision was the same. On general ap-
pearance, Seedley Stirling seemed 20
be in better condition, has a more COM
manding appearance, although he IL
slightly handicapped by rather awk-
ward carriage Of the hind legs.
Best Mt the Show
SarsGeld Wishaw Queen is possessed
of fine markings and did not al the
eye 50 we'll when she was ranged along
side her opponent. Il might be men
toned that these were the best Of their
sex az the show.
Another class which put the faneiers
on edge was the specials for open dogs
the only contestants being Champion
Alstead Altus, owned by p. fully, and
Alstead Aeroplane. owned By Mrs {.
II. Lunt, who owns the Alstead Ken
nels az Railway, y. j. After d lengthy
study OF the dogs points, Judge Muir
dock placed the ribbon on Mrs. LUnt's
dog, and perhaps the only point thai
won the prize was .hat Aistead Aero
plane was in better condition and coat
than Champion Alstead Altus. Singu-
larry enough, these dogs have met six
times and both have scored three wins,
so that the next exhibition will have
20 decide the title. Il is still more
peculiar that Alstead Aeropiane never
won a championship and that he should
have won over a real champion more
than once, but Mr.. Tully himself ad-
mitted that there was nothing wonder
ful in the episode.
Beau Brummel II Fancied
One OF the most fancied dogs of the
show was Beau Brummel II, shown and
owned by Miss ". Elizabeth Gair. OF
Brooklyn. He was in suburb condition
and coat and the wonder was that be
only secured third ribbon IN the class
Of open dogs. Two dogs-Beechwood
Dark Star and Beechwood Boy Blue.
were protested as being ineligible 20
compete in the puppy class and the
class for American bred dogs, as they
were bred in England.
