nifty to view two OF the best shows
ever given in the East. The ALTER

both In New York, were all that any
lover OF dogs could wish for.
Another Boston terrier won his
championship at the Garden. Million
Dollar King proved that he had been
IishtlE named by taking winners and
best of the breed. This splendid
little Boston, owned by Mrs. Emma
q. Fox, is beautiful dark ,brindle
with white markings, a white collar
and good fiat skun. The winning
bitch was Profile Real Select, owned
by the Profile Kennels of Salem, N. H.
Mrs. Marion Durphy took third rib

open class. Duke of Arlington is one
Of the splendid old type of st. Ber-
| nard and Mrs. Durphy said that she
was perfectly satisfied to be fourth
out of 19 wonderful specimens, many
imported from Switzerland not even
getting look In. Hercuveen Incom-

Janet Snow made her debut as a
judge, looking almost too young for
the job, but she judged carefully and
we'll Mrs Sidney Franc, one of the
most enthusiastic breeders of the
Pekingese in New York, swept the
boards. The peke lovers could find
no fault with the awards. for every
dog shown by Mrs. Franc was in
marvellous coat and had all other
points necessary to carry them
through.
The Dromore Kennels, owned by
Ernest Sharland of Baltimore, made
a clean sweep, as did Mrs. Franklin
Pekes, which is most unusual. Shar-
land won in four classes at the Pom
eranian show and should have gone
to winners, but Mrs. Frank Clark
sent him straight through to winners
and best of breed at the Westminster
Kennel Club show. Dromore Sensa
tion, a tiny black Pomeranfan seemed
to know that he had strong competi-
ton, for he paced like little race
horse and jumped upon the block to
be judged with none Of the timidity
shown by the other dogs. The easy
winning Of Dromore Sensation, by his
perfect showing, should be a lesson to
all persons going into the game, to
teach their dogs to show at home, as
does Sharland, one of the most sue
cessful breeders of Pomeranians in
the United States.

terrier owned by r. H. Elliot, sur

number of champions got the gate
and the younger ones remained.
Washington was well represented
at the Westminster Show, but Mrs.
Durphy was the only exhibitor The
Duke OF Arlington was at the en-
trance to greet you. His stall was
arranged at one side Of the lobby and
there never was a time during the
day that a crowd of persons were
either petting or shaking hands with
the Duke. Mrs. Durphy says that
nearly every person stopping to
speak to the Duke contributed to the
distemper fund being collected to pay
for the scientific research for the
most dreaded disease of animals
A letter has been received from
Mrs. Catherine Ingersol, living in
Alpes Maritimes, France, saying that
she Is very proud Of her Pekingese

stud Lo-Sang Kee, a local dog. Mrs.
Ingersol says that she has entered
Wang in the February and March

some wonderful wins both over there
and in the United States.
