R. l. KENNEL CLUB DOG SHOW BILLED
 FOR NEXT SUNDAY

The promise that the 28th an- nual A. K. c. all-breed dog show on the estate of State Senator William H. Vanderbilt, Portsmouth R. l., next Sunday would result in a day of most enjoyable sport for fol- lowers of all breeds of thorough bred canines appears to be fulfilled with the announcement of over 600 entries.
 Favored with fine weather and generous crowd in attendance, this annual out t-door fixture is expected to be a success from every stand point and stand as one of the best ever given by the Rhode Island Kennel club.
 There are hundreds of dogs en- tered this year that have assisted in making history during the past season and many breeds that usual- ly have but single dog or two, have several entered. All the. pop ular breeds are we'll populated.
 The Vanderbilt estate is most at tractive and the environment Is hardly less than perfect for a dog show, especially since the huge rid ing ring provides a safe retreat in case of stormy weather.
 Considering the depression con ditions, the excellent entry. along with the strong list of Judges and an ideal setting causes this New port fixture to be one of the lead ing open air exhibitions in the east.
 Chairman Edward K. Aldrich. Jr, of the bench show committee has been making special efforts to eclipse all former records and with $1.400 to be awarded in cash alone. hundreds of high class pedigreed dogs have been attracted to this Little Rhody show.
 Every dog entered will be eX- amined by one, of the group of wideIy-known veterinarians, con- sisting of Dr John M. Armstrong chief. of East Providence; pr H. M. Ferguson of Newport Dr Wal ter s. Buchanan of Providence and Dr John G. Richardson of Proyi- dence.
 Information relative to trans portation to the show of persons and dogs may be secured from Ed ward K. AIdrich Jr, B Eddy street. Providence, R. l., telephone Dexter 8O50.
