7b DOGS SHOWN
BY KENNEL CLUB
Rare Breeds Attract Atten-
tion-Dr. Mitten Ex.
hibits Blue Dan.
BY r. r. TAYNTON.


Seven hundred and seventy five
aristocratic and near-aristocratic dogs
barked, bayed and howled their delight
as the annual dog show Of the Ma
tional Capital Kennel Club got under
way yesterday at the Washington Au-
ditorium.
The idea seems to be that the dog
making the most noise will draw the
most attention, and, as in other art
exhibits, the hound. chow or other
breed that attracts the greatest num-
ber of spectators has the most merit.
But while their pets disport them
selves in their little wire-screened,
wooden hacked stalls, the owners take
part in a show Of their own The
men exhibitors apparently have the
notion that all the judges look at is
the dog. The womer, however, know
better.
Women Dress in Best.
While the men go into the showing
ring in baggy suits and slouch hats,
the women parade their CANNES at
tired in their best bib and tucker
And 1t is surprising how often It's the
woman's dogs that wins.
Famous names mean nothing at a
dog show. When person in the audi
ence remarks: That's Mrs. du Pont
over there" the answer is just as
likely as not to be, "Oh, yeah, Fox
catcher Beagles" If another wants
to know who the stunning blond in
purple is, the reply is probably: "She
owns the best of breed Brussels Grif-
fon. Mrs Jerome Bonaparte."
This show represents peculiar
cross-section of varieties of breeds.
Among the rarer breeds represented
are the Scottish deerhounds, boxers.
Brussels griffons, reisenschnausers and
Newfoundlands Surprising enough, St
Bernards and Manchester terriers are
among the absentees.
Blue Dan Of Happy Valley. sired by
Judge Harry Hunts Blue Pal, cap
tured the attention and imagination
of the audience when he was exhibited
by his owner, DR.. A. A. Mitten of
Philadelphia. in memory of Ben Lewis,
his handler.
Not content with IL hours at the
opening day of the show. many of the
exhibitors went to the Hamilton Ho-
tel last night where a dinner and
dance was arranged by the Kennel
Club for members and dog-owners.
