Sixty different sorts of barks, none
OF them at all frail, dashed against the
walls of Madison Square Garden yes
tcrday. scared into the big iron dome
and reverberated down the galleries of
the past to join the barks which have
echoed down these same galleries for
forty-fve years.
Probably the first show of the West
minister Kennel Club was not held in
the Garden. 1t was forty-fve years
ago, and we can't remember so far
back and probably there were not so
many barks of dogs half century ago
either. The pug, with his corkscrew
tail, must have been at that first show,
and the black and tan, but. of course,
here were no Airedales and surely no
Belgian or German sheep dogs.
A Bird's-Eye View
Instead of lining up at the ringside,
IS 10 our custom, we went imme ediately
20 the balcony, when we reached the
Garden, to get bird's-eye view of
hings. What we probably got was
dog's-eye view, for if the dog show
doesn't look to the sophisticated
CANNES who sit on the benches, about
belle them. Never have we seen such
knowing looking dogs. What they are
thinking is, without doubt, "Did l ask
20 be born?"
The dog show is a big success, the
biggest yet, for never have so many
people crowded into the Garden for the
opening dag, We went into the bal
cony at first only to look things over,
but after we got our dog's-eye view we
stayed there for safety. Thousands of
people saunte red-they were the spec
lnsdly-they were the exhibtors-try-
ing to make their respective rings
Finally. when the crowd thinned out
a little, we went down to join the
throng that kept moving. We were
especially interested in the English
bulls, because they are so good natured
about it all. They do not care whether
school keeps or not. One of them
named White Hope looked exactly like
our favorite play might and we wanted
to see what he would do in the ring,
but, although they were scheduled for
10:30, at o'clock Henry Coghlan, who
is judging them, had not yet arrived
from Chicago.
AS you enter the door you are i'm
pressed with the fact that the Garden
is divided off into sections, marked A,
II, C, etc. Of course, you look for Aire-
dales under A and Bulldogs under B.
But don't be fooled! it hasn't thing
10 do with the show. 1t has TO do
with prizefghts which are held there.
There was only one water spaniel on
hand. This was Poor Pat, owned by
Howard Willets. Mr.. Willets says
he is a great retriever, but won't re-
trieve ducks for some strange reason.
There were four Chesapeake Bay dogs,
which sounds like only few, but
which every one seemed to think Il
very good entry. These were the prop
erty of George w. Harper jr., and were
shown in the miscellaneous class.
The Airedales are our favorites, only
without starting something. Many Of
them have bars in front of their
benches, but it isn't safe to take any
chances with any of them:
There was a strange looking dog
there called "Gronendaal." He was
large and black and had ruffle round
his neck like chow. Ernest Per
reault, of Montreal, was showing him,
and he told us that he was Belgian
sheepdog named Margo de Bruxelles
and many times champion.
Sensation or the snow
The sensation of the day was Mrs.
NJ. c. McGlone's little Boston terrier
puppy Mosholu Buddie Blink. He is
ten months old, and started out by
winning in the puppy class; from that
he went straight through to winners.
Blink is entered under the name of
AIRS. w. E. Porter, of Denver, and he
really belongs to her, although she
sever has seen him. She wired to Mrs.
McGlone two months ago for a Boston
puppy and the owner selected, Blink,
and here he is the talk of the town!
He is a son of champion Mosholu
Blink.
Chows attracted considerable atten-
tion and John C. Adams, owner of the
Adamston kennels of Mount Vernon,
put his wonderful red dog Lord Chol-
monoley through to winners in big
class. The "Lord" has splendid coat
and was winner from the moment ne
stepped into the ring.
Colonel Jacob Rupert, who has led
in st. Bernards for a on rte
century, knew what it felt like to be a
trailer yesterday. He was beaten in
every class. White Star kennels had
the winning dog in Hellgate Vic and
Hercuveen kennels the winning bitch
in Queen
