upsets and upheavals continue to
follow sensational awards at the West
Minister Kennel Club dog show at
Grand Central Palace. However. until
Yesterday everything had been going
along smoothly; the only yelps had
come from the bow-wows
The unexpected victory of Who
Cares in the Airedale class on the first
day and Attire Supreme's triumph
over Haymarket Faultless in the bull
.errior division Thursday were we'll
received. But yesterday general dis
satisfaction over several of the awards
was manifest and IN quite positive
manner.
The newest sensation occurred in the
iudeing of the transporting variety
class. for dogs and bitches of any
breed except toys, champions barred.
Dr. Swire, who passed on the animals
in this class. caused the eyebrows of
.he ringvatchers to be arched when
he placed Mrs. Anita Baldwin's bull
dog, Knight Errant of Anoakia, first.
The winner was sent here from Cali
fornia and before his importation to
this country was a famous victor in
England.
Under the Philsdclphian, Edwin L.
Boger, in the regular bulldog classes,
Knight Errant of Anoakia wasn't even
considered for prize. Strathtay White
Hope, owned by Alex Stewart, of Chi
cago. adjudged as the best of this
breed by Mr.. Boyer and thus made
eligible for competition in the best of
all breeds in the show, was only fourth

second a strong-headed specimen of
the now scarce English mastiff. Beo-
wuf. owned by Mrs. Albert E. Engle.
Of Rochester, N. Y, and third the ball
dog Emwooll English Maid. owned by
Mrs. Howell Noolley, of Long Branch,
which was also overlooked by Mr..
Boger.
The awards in the class of English
settlers were anything but popular.
There was no applause, and "boos"
greeted the judges. Altogether it
wasn't exactly a comfortable situation
for the men IN the ring who were de-
,ermining the winners. Pleasing all
the exhibitors at big dog show is
harder task than forming q league of
nations.
Ma Me. silky coated white and
black Japanese spaniel. won all the
Donors IN that class. Ma Me is owned
BY Mrs. VASTLY V. Lebedjeff, of this
city; who received the dog last October
n Toxic as gift from the Marquis

rare breed of Japan.

Ma Nc reached New York in time to be
entered for the Westminster show. and
her advent in the ring caused quite a
stir among toy fanciers.
IN speaking Of her highly priced pet
Mrs. l,ebedieff said; MA Me lives in
wicker blrdcage. as she has always
done IN Japan. She is very nervous
