fifth annual dog show to be given py tn
Westminster Kennel Club on Thursday
Friday and Saturday. Feb. 10. IL an
IL, in Madison Square Garden. Th
judge of shepherd dogs has not we
been selected. 1 understand that c
Muss-Arnolt. who Is to Judge variet
of the classes, has refused to judg

it seems difficult to determine who vii
be the official.
Names Of the other Judges have al
been announced in this column. The lis

hounds, mastiffs, Newfoundlands. col

years and he will take Russian wolf
hounds, Irish wolfhounds, Scottish deer

dicate all the Boston terriers, and !
sure to have large entry, as he is

American Kennel Club Matters.
The latest / hear from the secretly
committee of the American Kennel Gu
is that the coming president will prob
ably be Howard Willets. He is H.
father OF J. Macy Willets and one q
the oldest fanciers on his own accoun
in the country. When I knew him firs
he had splendid kennel OF Irish terrier
and after giving up the paddles" u
took up sporting spaniels, which he sti
maintains.
The premium list OF the Westininstc
Kennel Club is the first In which a syn
OP7i' VI Nhc tSStnllil rules Is inserted
This Will be great saving of printers
bills for the essential rules number on1
four pages, as ordinarily against twenty
four. The next change in order is t
do away with the foolish reiteration o
the conditions of the club specials. The
I'LL some thirty pages of the w. X {
premium list, apd the space is abso
lutely wasted, @besides swelling til
printers bills.
AS | have pointed out before, It is tn
duty of the secretary of every specialt

to be in competition. II this were don
for the w. X. C. premium list all allu
sions TO the specials could be squeeze
into two pages.
However. am eratified to see tha
my idea has been adopted in regard d
cutting down the amount of space give
to the useless rules. and possibly l maj
