paying the additional amount
AS dogs may now be entered up To
seven days before the show, and as
entries shall not be received later than
that time, there is no necessity OF rec
serving entries, and show managements
must not do so. Entries must not be
accepted unless all the necessary data
shall be given.
In any case where entries are made
after the regular date of entry closing
and through ignorance of this rule the
person making such entries does not
pay the additional entry fee supernag
tendents should accept such entries and
advise the exhibitor that the additional
amount is due In case the exhl1isor
fails or refuses TO pay such additionsi
amount. or should the exhibitor, because
of this additional charge. want to cam
eel his entries and asks for the return or
entry fees already paid, such requests
should be refused. The clup should pro-
ceed to collect the additional amount
due Failing 10 do so. it should Gauss

The Entrance Fee Rule.

There seems to be some doubt in the
minds of certain exhibitors as to the
right of show committees and superin-
tendents to enforce Rule XII, section 18,
particularly that part Of this section
which requires an additional amount for
the entry fee in cases where entries are
filed after the regularly advertised date
for closing OF entries.
Possibly some exhibitors do not know
of the change made some time ago In
this rule. requiring this additional fee.
and the possibility of making entries
after the regular or advertised date Of
closing of entries. While ignorance of a
rule OF the American Kennel Club Is no
defence for breaking such rule, as all
exhibitors should familiarize themselves
with all the rules, still for the benefit of
those who do not know of the require
ments of this section of Rule X1. we
hereby inform them that 1t reads as
follows:
ENTRIES shall not be received less
than seven days prtor to the first day
Of the shoto. An additional entry fee of
one-half of the advertised entry fee
shall be charged for entries received
after the advertised date OF closing and
prior to seven days before the first day
of the show :"
There can be no doubt of the explicit
provisions of this section of this rule.
and show committees and superinten-
dents have no choice in the matter, but
must enforce 1t the same as all other
rules. Show arrangements. and particu-
larry superintendents. will be held re-
sponsible for its enforcement. and Will
make themselves liable to severe disci-
pline i'm case they fall to do so,
The rule as to accepting entries
previously required all entries to be
received on or before the advertised
date OF closing OF entries, but 1t was
very difficult to enforce such rule.
as show managements claimed that so
many entries were offered after the date

FIELD MARSHAL'S
LONDON TRIUMPH
Championship at Information
al Horse Show Goes to Mrs.
Putnam's High Stopper.

The tenth London International Horse
Show ended successfully on June 20 af-
ter having continued seven days at
Olympia The King and Queen of Eng
land and. indeed, all the members of the
royal family were among the large
crowds which attended the exhibition.
There were no American exhibitors this
year, but Judge William II. Moore of
New York and Lawrence Jones of Louis
willie gave evidence of their good will by
donating special prizes. Judge Moore's
offering was the Forest King trophy,
named in honor Of his famous old Eng
lish hackney harness horse that won the
Waldorf-Astoria Cup for him three times
at the National Horse Show in New
York almost twenty years ago This
trophy was for the best harness pony
not exceeding IA hands and was virtu-
ally a championship prize, only winners
being eligible to compete. 1t was won
by Mrs. James Putnam's bantam hack
ney Melbourne Fire, full brother to
Mrs. b. p. Caravans perennial cham
pion Hamilton Flame, formerly Mel
Valleys Flame, by Royal Success out
of Wortley Bell by Sir Horace. Mel
bourne Fire went on and won the re-
serve ribbon in the grand championship
class for the best harness horse or pony
in the show, the highest prize going to
Field Marshal. a gelding from the same
stable whose exploits at the Richmond
Royal Horse Show were mentioned in
last Sundays HERALD. He was beaten
by his own daughter, a novice mare
called Charm, for the championship on
that occasion. The critics at Olympia
pronounced him one of the finest harness
horses seen in years at English shows.
When he won the Westerveld Cup for
the best harness horse over fourteen
hands Charm was placed fourth, Mrs.
Putnam's Park Carnation getting Sec
ond prize and Mrs. B. Tilbury's veteran
Gaythorn third prize. Reginald G. Van
derbilt president of the American Hack
ney Horse Society, Robert Whitworth
and Baron S. A. F. Creuth were the
judges.
The judging of saddle horses resulted
in another conspicuous reversal of the
awards at Richmond, the championship
prize going to Mrs. van Newell van
Hattum's bay gelding Crystal, that was
three times fourth to Sir Howard
Franks Lighthouse at the Royal Horse
ShCw. Rouch's photograph of the
champion at Olympia shows an attrac-
tive upheaded gelding apparently about
1872 hands, not unlike Sun Dial in con-
formation There is nothing suggestive
OF the hunter about him, even the trim
Of his tail being far less mulish than
that OF many imitation English saddle
Eorses seen at American shows. The
winner of the class for weight carriers
IN London was an old fashiend, docked
cob. John NICE. Bowman, Reginald
Corbet and Marquis Casati judged the
saddle classes.
An interesting class in the hunter divi-
sion of the show was for covert hacks
of the hunter type; in other words,
small hunters shown as saddle horses.
The championship for hunters was won
by the gray gelding Self Starter. a plain
fronted but very powerfully built big
boned horse of enormous girth and not
nearly so tall as some of the champions
seen here nowadays.

Working Life Of Horse
Is About Twelve Years

The average working period in the life
OF horse Is twelve years. according to
reports made by 300 experienced own

The average horse goes to work at three
years old and is replaced at fifteen.
Horses used in cities wear out faster
than on the farms. the length OF service
on paved streets being about eight

Pony's Notable Record
As Dam Of Winners

Referring to THE HERALD's recent
mention of Seaton Queen as a great pro-
ducer of prize winning harness horses, j.
Macy Wllets. secretary Of the Associa-
tion Of American Horse Shows writes
that he has one with a more remarkable
record than that of the dam of the two
champions Lady Seaton and Reputation.
His candidate for the honors is the sew
enteen-year- hackney pony Irvington
Bounce H.. by imported Enfield Nipper.
This little mare has had eight foals, as
follows:
191o-Irvington Bouncer, by Nipper. Jr.
l911-Mlghty Mite. by Nipper. Jr.
1913-Irvington Fashion. by Irvington Model.

tocrat
l92O-cassilis Dictator. by Irvingtsn Auto
1921-colt, by lryington Autocrat
Bouncer and Mighty Mite were cham
pions in harness and among the largest
winners of their size and type. Irving
ton Fashion. later Hamilton Fashion,
won the reserve championship at the Ma
tional Horse Show when only 3 years
old. his sire alone beating him for the
championship prize. Irvington Bounce
III. has beaten all of the pony mares and
many OF the large hackneys IN hand, ana
is just now beginning her career in har-
ness Dancing Girl was winner in her
class at the last National Horse Show
and has yet to be beaten. Irvington
Aristocrat was reserve champion at the
same show when he was only 2 years
old, his sire beating him in the cham
pionship class. At this show four foals
of Irvington Bounce II. won ten first
prizes--every one excepting the two
championships for which they competed.
and I'm those classes they were the
reser"e champions. Their most impor-
tant winnings in other classes included
the Montpelier Challenge Cup for the
best harness pony in the show and the
Bertram w. Mills Challenge Cup for the
best American bred pony of any height.
The yearlng and the foal of this year
have not been shown. but Mr.. Willets
says they are just as promising as any
of the Older ones.

About the ShOw Horses
Glasses for Registered Saddle
Horses Conspicuously Miss
ing From Prize Lists.
BY G. CHAPLIN.

In view of the well known fact that
saddle bred horses have long domi-
mated the market and also the open
classes for saddle horses of the walk
trot type at all the leading shows, it
seems passing strange that few II any
prizes are ever offered for registered
saddle horses of this distinctively Ameri-
can breed. There is a class for regis
tered thoroughbred race horses shown
as walk-trot saddle horses every year at
the National Horse Show in New York,
but the visitor looks in vain for any
competition in which the only recognized
breed of saddle horses in the world is
recognized in the same conspicuous way.
And what Is true at the National Is
equally true at Devon, Rochester and all
the other shows, even to those in Ken

That such classes-two or three of
them-ought to be fixtures at all the
larger shows is as plain as pikestaff
They would not only serve to identity
and exploit the many fine saddle horses
of the breed In every large show but
they would afford new basis of classifi-
cation, which is sorely needed in most of
the shows to supplement the monotonous
and somewhat meaningless classification
according to height alone. Another thing !:
The requirement of registration would
serve to reveal the identity of a good
many registered horses whose names
have been changed so often that their
present owners frequently know as little
as the public knows of them. 1t is not
too late for the progressive and enter
prising management of the New York
State Fair Horse Show at Syracuse to
make the innovation this year, and there
Is reason to believe the move would
meet with cordial cooperation on the
part of the American Saddle Horse
breeders Association, as well as the
owners of saddle bred horses.

Dissatisfied with the way in which
horse show jumpers are judged In Eng
land the owners of such horses held a
meeting during the recent international
Horse Show In London and formed an
exhibitors association. They propose
to formulate and publish standard of
merit rules and regulations. and will
urge the acceptance of these by all
judges and associations. Lord Lonsdale

still offered for carriage pairs and even
for four-in-hands, and the French sports

can find. but the winners are for the
most part horses nobody would have
thought of showing before the great

Though harness classes have failed to
fill at many of the minor shows this

been made with the War Department
to send several officers and enlisted
men and a carload of army horses to the

CARE OF DOGS IN
EXCESSIVE HEAT
Rules to Follow to Avoid Gases
of Fits i'm the Summer
Season.
BY FRANK +. DOLE.

In my rambles around the dog kennels
during the heated season have heard Of
more cases OF dogs having fits than ever
before. In my investigation ! find that
in 80 cases out of 100 1t is due to the
ignorance of the owner in not looking
after the dog properly. Here are a few
cardinal rules that should be followed
and which am sure the dog will appre-
ciate:
The first thing to do is to see that the
dog is kept cool. that he takes as little
exercise as possible and only in the cool
of the evening or early In the morning
before the sun becomes strong. Feed him
lightly and avoid all indigestible foods.
Be sure that his food is well cooked ex-
cept an occasional feed Of very lean raw
chopped beef. An egg beaten UP in milk
Is also nice food for the summer. Feed
him a little fish now and then, well
cooked. mixed with puppy biscuit or
stale bread.
One of the most important things is to
keep the dogs bowels open and one OF
the best remedies Is EPSON salts. For
a medium sized dog teaspoonful
wrapped up in tissue paper will be found
very effective. Graduate the dose ac-
cording to the size Of the dog. Another
effective remedy during the hot season
is sulphur and cream Of tartar lozenges.
five grain lozenge once a day being
suitable for medium sized dog.
The majority of dog owners keep a
large piece Of birthstone In the dogs
drinking water. This Is an exploded
theory, as the birthstone can remain In
the water for years without dissolvins
and will not be Of any benefit at all.
,f,a- m On
not tell one when he is not feeling we'll
or when he is out Of sorts, therefore
watch him carefully and help him get
through this excessive heat. The dog In
his faithfulness is only too anxious to do
his masters bidding.
Well to Keep In Mind.
Fits are usually caused by one of three
things-overexertion, worms or indiges-
tion-andif the owner will kept this fact
in mind and use plenty Of good common
sense-which / am sorry to say the ma
jority do not use-he will find that the
dog will return hundredfold in graft
tude the attention given him during this
period Of the year.
