One Of Them, Winthrop Ruth

Since 1885.
by FRANK r.. DOLE.

The judging list for the forty-sixth
annual show OF the Westminster Kennel
Club has been completed. Everything
is set for the entries to come in for the
big show" which will this year be held
in Madison Square Garden on February
10, IA and IS The club has taken
offices at room 1902. so East Forty
second street, for the superintendent,
George w. Gall, with whom entries close
or January 80.
Looking over the list of officials for
this show. 1 note only one who was in
the game when I showed my first dog at
the Westminster show in 1885. He is
Winthrop Rutherfurd who viii judge the
Irish and Welsh terriers. The judging
list, taken all in all. Is very good. II
includes some OF the best amateur judges
in this country and two Of our leading
professionals, Vinton Z. Breese of Cald-
well. N. j.. and G. Muss Arnolt of Tuck
ahoe. N. Y.
This Is the first year the club has oc-
cupied the offices at 90 East Forty-sec-
ond street The show Is another OF three
days duration, instead OF the four day
show of former years.
The show viii be benched on the floor
covering the swimming pool of last sum-
mer. This means the benching must be
who will handle the benching, have made
a survey Of the condition at the Garden
and have assured the show management
that benching can be placed to easily
handle 1000 dogs
Cost of Show 100000.
A liberal prize list is offered, and IT
is estimated that the expense up to the
time the show opens will be close to
$4,000. There is no show where VIC
tory means as much in the estimation
OF devotees OF the sport. II seems
strange that although this show has
run for forty-six years and has always
been liberal in its treatment of the ex-
hibitors, making large awards of prize
money, it receives no higher champion
ship rating than little show In a small
tank town, giving practically no money
or doing anything to help the exhibitor
Some day. L hope, this condition will be
changed.
The uncIassihed specials this year
will be Judged by Vlnton p. Breese. by
G. Muss Arnolt and Theodore Offerman
think this Is wise selection for the
all around judging and am sure there
viii be no need for referees or any
such scenes as at the shows of 1919 and
1921. Every exhibitor now has time &c
get his dog In top form for the big show
IL he starts right away. / am just as
anxious as the officers of the club tc
see the 1000 mark passed. This has
not been accomplished for several years
but have an idea this is the year tc
put 1t over.
