Armley Nish
Makes Sweep
At Dog Show
Yorkshire Terrier From
Abroad Has Merry Time
at Park Avenue Hotel
By Harriette Underhill


1t quite delighted US to see printed
on the catalogues at the second spe-
cialty show of the Yorkshire Terrier
Club yesterday, these words" :"Proceeds
donated to the Bide-a-Wee Home for
Friendless Animals" After that we
refused to accept a free catalogue and
we took personal interest in the man
who walked about the Park Avenue
Hotel with the little aid books under
his arm, calling out: "You can't tell
the dogs without a catalogue"
Yorkshire terriers are not our favor
lite breed. They do look like window
mops, and they aren't any good if you
can see their eyes and eyes we con-
slder an essential feature. However,
we must confess that we never had
seen any thing like we saw yesterday
in the canine person Of Gatenby's
Armley Nish, and we admit to a feel
ing of envy for his owner, Mrs. Will
lam Thompson.
Nish just arrived from England on
the Belgic. where he was the protege of
John Woods, Of the Armley Kennels,
and this is his first public appearance
in America.
He swept everything before him in
Europe and no wonder. His new owner
says he weighs four pounds, but it
is difficult to believe it, for there
doesn't seem to be anything there but
coat. His hair is at least two feet
long, and to show it off he has to
stand on a little thing that looks like
small ironing board
Nish never is seen without this pedes-
tai, and. he has to stand at attention
every minute. 1t must be trying-al-
most as bad as being king.
When Nish stands up on this little
platform his hair, which is parted down
the middle of his back, falls down on
either side and touches the ground He
is most remarkable and exotic look
ing creature, and we doubt if anything
just like him has been seen over here
Mr.. Woods should use him for an
advertisement, saying "Armley Kennels
grew this hair and we can prove it,"
Of course, Armlcy Nish simply won
everything. Blues, championships and
specials were alike to him.
