Best Of Dogs
At Cravesend
Airedale Wins Silver Cup in
Contest Open to All
Breeds

Local dog fanciers celebrated Memo
rial Day yesterday on the historic
Gravesend race track, the occasion be-
ing the seventeenth annual show of the
Long Island Kennel Club. and, although
the weather was anything but suitable
for an open air show, those who vent
ured to the inclosure enjoyed them
selves
Forty-six different breeds were rep
resented, the climax of the judiciary
department arriving when the unclas-
sifed special for the best of all breeds
in the show was announced. A dozen
of the crack breeds showed in the
open air ring, presided over by DR.. De
Mund and Theodore Offerman.
All the candidates came in for o
close scrutiny. until finally the contest
narrowed down to a pair. These were
an Airedale female, named Elm's
Primus, owned by Frederic C. Hood of
Brookline, Mass. and red Irish set
ter named Lismore Freedom, dog
shown by the Lismore Kennels. AT
length the massive silver cup for tho
best of the show went to the Airedale,
with the setter getting the reserve, or
the best of the opposite breed.
The most notable reversal of the
afternoon was the victory of Aman
Marvel over Champion Marbald War
SON in the winners class of wire
haired fox terriers. The latter. it will
be remembered, scored we'll at the big
show at Madison Square Garden, and
there was some surprise when he
gained only the reserve to-~the Stam-
ford dog.
