Speciality show Notes.

Mrs. NJ. f. Hardy of Huntington, L. T.,
has been elected to judge at the annual
speciality show of the Pekingese Club of
America to be held at the Plaza Hotel
on January II.
The opening month of 1921 will be
made memorable for speciality shows az
the Waldorf-Astoria in the spacious and
well lighted roof garden. On Thursday.
January 26, the American Spaniel Club
will hold its second annual show of
sporting spanlels and on the following
day, January 81, the Pomeranian Club
of America will give its exhibition in the
same room.
One OF the leading amateurs of the
breeds of the United States, ]. Robinson
Beard OF Lucknow Farm, Norwich,
Conn, has consented to judge the sport
ing spaniels, and this is a guarantee of
a splendid entry. All exhibitors and
breeders know Mr.. Beard and have the
utmost confidence In his judgment and
fairness. Speaking of sporting spaniels,
l understand that Townsend Scudder,
who is to take up the private practice OF
law, now that his term as a judge has
expired. is to dispose of the Robinhurst
Kennels of cocker spaniels that has done
SO much winning in recent years.
All signs point to the most successful
show yet held by the American Ponce
ranian Club. Mrs. Frank 7. Clarke, who
is at the head of the committee. tells me
that she Is absolutely amazed at the
number Of inquiries about the exhibition
from all parts of the country. Vinton
p. Breeze is to be the judge, and this
will help the entry.
The local shows this season will be
given an added attraction by an exhibit
of pure bred Russian wolfhounds just
imported by the Valley Farms of Green

erous policy which has marked the clubs
progress for the last twenty-five years
Both the derby and all-age stakes have
purses of $1,000 each, of which $500
will go to the first, $500 to the second
and $500 to the third in each stake. The
first forfeit in each stake is SIS. payable
at The time which entries close, and thai
is December 81. The final forfeit is $40.
Baltimore will have its turn with the
dog experts during Christmas week, as
the Maryland Kennel Club has planned
to give a Yuletide exhibit and has en-
gagged Charles G.. Hopton of New York
as the leading judge. The show will be
staged in the Richmond Armory. and it
is an all-breed affair and sanctioned by
the American Kennel Club. The next
annual show will be held on April 16
and II and in the same building. which
is the most commodious of it's kind In
the South.
One OF the prominent visitors at the
recent Sydenham Show in England was
G. S. Thomas, who, with Mrs. Thomas.
is now touring the British Isles in
search of new exhibits, and according to
the English Field his mission has been
marked with great success According
to Il 4 statement he already has secured
a number of all varieties, which will be
shipped Immediately to America. Very
likely a number of the topnotchers will
be seen at the coming shows.

Van Ingen; goal. Diefendorf and Bas-
sett. Carson plays right centre. The
Yale team has been handicapped by
lack of practice. having to do all of its
preliminary work in the ice palace in
Philadelphia. The dscontinuance of The
Arena in this city, one of the finest IN
door ice surfaces in the East, was sad

is nothing certain as to the ice making
proclivities of New Haven weather, and
If the proprecies oe the sharps come true

CRIMSON WRESTLERS
A VETERAN SQUAD

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. 1S.-Seldom
have Harvard's prospects In wrestling
looked so good as they do this season. A
veteran squad is assured and the Grim
sons hopes of defeating Yale are look
ing up considerably. Last winter Har-
ward gave Yale close battle for the
first time in a number OF years and
would have had a good chance to win
save for the fact that Jim MacDonell,
CAPTAIN, was under the weather and
Fiske Brown. the football heavyweight,
found himself on probation.
MacDonell Is starting his fourth sue
cessive year In Harvard wrestling as a
captain. He headed his freshman team
and three times since has been selected
to captain the varsity. He wrestles, as
a rule, in the 145 pound class. and In
other seasons has competed also as a
middleweight. Brown Is an effective
heavyweight and a powerful wrestler.
He captained his freshman team two
seasons ago, but while he was on pro-
baton last winter still continued to keep
in practice.
Charlie Eastman. who was one of the
substitute tackles this fall, Is out for
the 175 pound class. He was freshman
captain last year and went through the
season indicated. Seldom has there
been a more promising wrestler at Har-
ward, according to Sam Anderson,
coach.
Ben Corson, 1875 pounds. and Charles
Smith. 1856 pounds, are New England
intercollegiate title holders and should
have little fear of making places again
on the team. George Smith. who wrestles
at 145 pounds. won the college cham
pionship at that weight last winter.
Richard Powers in the 115 pound class
is also a title holder. The opening meet
is scheduled here January 22 against
Springfield.
