KENNEL AND FIELD
BY MARY c. POPE.

Washington Kennel Club Is looking
forward to one of the most successful
shows. All members seem to have
taken renewed interest in their work
and dog lovers right and left are do
mating prizes or money. The bench
show committee has arranged for
benchings. ribbons, feeding, and all
things in general are in pretty good
shape.
The Baltimore show held recently
was a splendid success. both as to
the number of dogs shown and in
attendance.
Surprises were numerous, but the
big upset of the show was when the
silver vase went to a splendid St.
Bernard owned by the Hercuveen
Kennels over Champion Dolf of Jo-
selle, wonderful, shiny black shep-
herd, an unbeaten favorite.
Another surprise equally as great
was the winning of Dromora Mia
chievous, a tiny black Pomeranian,
beating the typical Pekingese Glen
Iris Daf Dream for the best toy dog
in the show and receiving a gorgeous
silver cup.
Mrs. Sidney Franc of Baltimore has
promised to bring her champions and
| some puppies that never have been
shown to Washington. The Glen Iris
Pekes have made wonderful name
for themselves, having the most typ
fcal heads and noses and gorgeous
coats which drag on the ground. Mrs.
Franc will enter her champions for
| specials, as should all persons owning
champions, giving the lesser known
dogs chance.
Mrs. A. NJ. Goldsmith, owner of the
Cheswolde Kennels, had the largest
entry of Pekingese in the Baltimore
show. and would have gone to best
of breed IL champions had not been
entered against her in the open class.
Mrs. Goldsmith will bring 20 dogs TO
the Washington exhibit.
Mrs. r. f. smith was the proud
possessor of Jack o'Mine, the best
| puppy AiredaIe in the Baltimore
show. This pup is a typical Airedale
and nothing could touch him in ap-
pearance in his class. Mrs Smith is
going to show Jack in Washington,
and after he develops she is look :
ing forward to some splendid wins.
The local exhibitors at the Baltf-
more show were as follows: Howe
Totten, Great Danes; Mrs. A NJ -Hyler,
Frank Leach, c. n. Hess and w. f.
OuAl iSTIlcIS. MIS-. II. III.
Birney,, Roy Routt and O. J. Outlet
Boston terriers: Mrs. r. j. Whitall,
whippets; Mrs. r. H. Johnston, wire
haired and Scottish terriers, and Mrs.
Otis c. Pope, Pomeranians.
Mrs. r. III. Johnston reports that
she has sent her little show bitch,
Johnston's Cherrie, to New York to
be bred to j. Bogeman's Wire Prince.
Wire Prince made the record OF being
the best wire in Holland for two
years.
The Washington Kennel Club will
hold another meeting Monday night.
Members are requested to be present
and others interested in dogs are
invited. The names of the judges
| for the different breeds will be de-
cided upon and premiums and prize
| money will be turned in to the secre-
