From the standpoint of exhibitor,
spectator and management alike, the
dog show which featured this years

tendance it demonstrated beyond ques-
ton that it is one of the fairs most
swarmrd through the building all day
yesterday. and many of the exhibitors
were astonished at the interest displayed.
All of them, by the way, expressed real
pleasure at their treatment here and
promised to return in 1923-a fact
which ticklcd Superintendent G. II. Wei

show for which he worked so hard.

local exhibitors were successful. In the
popular Shepherd variety Miss Ruth
Baldwin took first with her puppy
Pasha Won Argus. while DIR. w. b.
Pcrrys Zeppelin Won Hirtenstamm was
second in the novice class. A. l.. Rohde
did well in the collie classes, as did also

who won the blue in the puppy and nov
ton. Mrs. f.. II. Lynch and Mrs. l.. ID.
Herricli were among those who came in
for their share of Airedale ribbons,
