Square Garden again yesterday, hang |
ing over the cages where the sleepy
prize winners curled up in the straw
after the ordeal of being judged or
losing their hearts to some unribbonod
mite which had not lost his engaging
manners, in spite of his Disappointment
an the ring.
William Rauch, chairman of the
Westminster Kennel Club, who cele-
brated his twenty-first anniversary as
major-domo of the big show yesterday,
declared that never in all his expert
ence had there been the great public
interest in dogs that there is to-day.
The day of the dog was supposed to
have been reached during the war,
when peoples hearts were heavy and
needed the love even of dumb animals,
but apparently the faithful friends of
those days have not been forgotten
since. Mr.. Rauch said that the receipts
the first day of the Dog Show were the
largest in its history, and that he had
never seen people more enthusiastic.
Pekingese Alley Piqued
Only in Pekingese Alley was there
diseord yesterday. The Pekingese
owAers were piqued, and there was no
concealing the fact, in spite of the
code of good craftsmanship. Much |
dlsapproval surrounded the choice of
the judge, Miss M. E. Warron, in deny
ing the first place to Pun Chin of
Chinatown, who won first in the Lon
don and Plaza shows.
The winner was NJ. Taketa's Cham
pion 1yo Jen. The disapproval was ex-
pressed through a petition signed by
many exhibitors and visitors, protest |
ing against the action of the Pekingese
Club in submitting to the Westminster
committee the name of an inexperi- |
enced Judge for so important show
as the Westminster. Miss Warron is
conceded to be an expert, but this was
her hrst experience as Judge.
No such ill feeling, was connected
among the White West Highland ter
riers. Here Roster the Dell lost lis
blue ribbon to Rothesay Snowlen,
owned by Mrs H. NJ Baker. The Judge
was Charles G. Hopton, who makes and
unmakes champions without regard to
their former records. In 1919 he gave
'-}c"~e cup to The DELL over
Snowden Rosa and the present cham
I"esay Snowden, who was
This year Snowden came out in won
dertul term, and in shoulders, feet and
texture of coat surpassed the one-time 1
champion.
Max H. Thieman, superintendent of
Colonel Jacob Ruppert's kennels for
thirty years, made the announcement
that the Colonel had definitely decided
to give UP the showing of St. Bernards
and will confne his activity in future
shows to exhibiting beagles.
a hitherto unknown Yorkshire ter
rier furnished one of the surprises by
gong through from the puppy class to
winners. The dog is owned by Mrs |
Mae Fletcher, of Philadelphia, and
though there was good entry for this |
class this little stranger from the |
Quaker City had wonderful texture |
of coat that carried him far ahead of /
his rivals.
The big collie sale of the show was
the purchase for 81 900 of the sable
and white Starbat Strongheart, winner
in his class and reserve winner for the |
best, by Miss Florence Ilsh, of Belle
haven, N. J.
The show will be continued to-day
