at the Garden With Hay
market Faultless
By ]. S. Mitchell

aog IN the show of all breeds at Madi-
son Square Garden yesterday. The
victory Is remarkable as it is the first
time dog of this breed has been
placed as the best of all, and for the
first time in the forty-two years of the
show that the crown has gone over the
border to Canada.
Haymarket is an imported dog not
TWO years old yet. and made his win
nlng debut at the Bronx show this
spring. He was an easy victor after
ward at Boston. He is q solid white
OF great conformation, with oblioue
eyes aud head of exceptionally fine
shape. For some reason there was a
general feeling among the Garden
lanclers that Haymarket Faultless
would get the crown, while a few OF
the critics thought the big prize should
go to Phantom of Ashcroft, the Peking-
ese owned by the Yankibourne Kennels.
When the Canadian champion landed
here from England he had dropping
ears, but as the law in Canada does
not prohibit clipping dogs ears. the
bull terrier was clipped, and it i'm
proved his appearance fully SO per cent
