show is an open One.

Although It'd Bit earned the adnira-
tion of the judges and majority OF
the spectators, 1t Is not certainty that
she will be even among the first three
in the special, which will crown the
champion dog of the year this after
noon. The show is an open one, more
open than at any time since its incep-
ton forty-five years ago. There is a
bakers dozen that has a chance or
winning premier honors. and Messrs.
Hopton and Swire and DIR. De Mund, the
Judges, will have no easy task making
the final decision. II all OF the eligibles
come through TO the coveted special In
as fine form as they are now the three
noted Judges will be put to the hardest
test Of their long careers in the Jud ging
ring.
Among those which stand out promi-
nently as having a royal chance OF sue
cess for the crown are Faultless Hay
market, the noted bull terrier. which
won the title here three years ago !;
Blarney Begorra, the Irish terrier be-
longing TO John G. Bates; Mrs. B. f.
Lewis's champion greyhound, Lands
down Sun Flower; Mrs. Elbridge Gerry
SHOWS grand Pellingese Phantom or
Ashcroft, which caused a sensation here
three years ago by going TO reserve TO
Faultiess Haymert for the best of the
whole show: May Morn Weather. the
imported old English sheepdog, which
was best OF its breed on Thursday; w.
T. Payne's Midkiff Seductive, cocker
spaniel of real high class: the little
Scottish TERROR from the land o. tn
cakes. Albourne Beetle, owned by the
Fairwold Kennels of Philadelphia and
and one OF several Airedales and shep-
herds.
The sporting spaniels were one OF the
IN ryhaip
show. There are ninety-one Of these
useful dogs exhibited, and the cocker
spaniels especially attracted a great deal
of attention with their beautiful colors
and glossy coats. They were a high
class lot of dogs and the competition was
keen throughout. Winners dog in aay
solid color was W. T. Payne's Midkift
Kava- He is a beautiful black. with a
good head. nice set Of ears with plenty
of feather Champion Mepal Ira. which
won highest honors at the recent Ameri-
can Spaniel Club show. won winners dos
in parti colors. Ira Is a handsome lemon
white and is quality dog throughout.
Rougette Good Novice.
Another good one was Mr.. Payne's
Robinhurst Rougette. which scored over
high class lot OF novices.
In the classes for bitches the Csssiiis
Kennels Ringwood volga was the bes;
among the blacks and Mr.. Payne's Mid
kiff Evelyn was winner among the other
colors.
The parti-color winners bitch was NJ.
Paynes Midkiff Seductive. Later she
won the special for the best of her breed.
The French bulldogs were we'll Judged
by the professional expert Charles G.
Hopton. He placed Fred Poffets cham
pion La France Model H. best OF the
breed. which was quite right. The win
ming bitch was the Lone Star Kennels
Lone star Madelon de Nictolre. This
was another good decision.
There were many good youngsters
shown. Mrs. Francis II. Scheeler's Mar
quls Sans Prix won the puppy class and
gave promise OF going on to better
things. Another corking good French
man Is Mrs. J. J. McMahon's san Prix
Little Gem. lie was best OF the Ameri-
can breds, best limit dog and reserve
winners. He Is a typical Frenchman and
was shown In beautiful form.
The Irish terriers we're judged by
Jeremiah J. o'Callgahan. who. as the
name implies. Is o sturdy Irlshman. Ho
has made a study Of his native breed
and he judged them according to his own
ideas. which did not meet with tho APP
proval OF some of the fanciers. How
ever, he has the courage Of his convic.
tions and Judged properly In my opinion
A corking puppy came forth In J. II
Thorndil<es Ttorncroft Mark Time. SC
well did this T. low mark time that he
won puppy, novice, American bred and
Junior classes. This Is quite feat for
a youncster seven months old.
Tho winning dog was the well known
Champion Brentmoor Blnker. He was
looking well. but l thought he was just
a bit lucky TO be placed over John G.
Bates's Bar Blarney Moorlough Manus
which Is most typical rrishman.
