Dogs began barking in Madison
Square Garden yesterday just to get IN
good voice for the big show of the
Westminster Kennel Club, which opens
there tomorrow and continues through
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Mrs.
Roy A. Rainey's large strings OF wire
and smooth fox terriers, Sealyhams and
West Highland and white terriers were
among the early arrivals.
r. K. Armstrong, Of Barber, n. C.,
also was on hand with the pointers and
settlers he has been handling at the
field trials in the South and West. In
addition TO his own dogs he brought
the champions owned by J. j. Graham,
of Long Island, and William Ziegler,
jr, Of Manhattan. Save for the local
entries, nearly all the dogs will be
on their benches by tonight.
A telegram from Mrs. Anita Bald
win. of California, to Superintendent
George w. Gall stated that she had
been obliged to cancel her plans for
the show, owing to lawsuit that de-
manded immediate attention. Mrs
Baldwin had arranged to bring big
entry from the Coast
