Climaxing the most impressive show
Of its kind in local history, the Ma
tional Capital Kennel Club dog show
closed last night with the selection
of the Sealyham, Rannerdale Sequence
of Pinegrade, as the best Of all breeds.
Mrs. John Boettiger, daughter Of
President and Mrs. Roosevelt, pre-
sented the trophy after the decision
was announced by Judge Spring.
More settlers were benched at the
Washington Auditorium competition
than at Madison Square Garden and
prize winners in other shows were
entered to add luster to the event.
Show officials said the competition
in many breeds was of higher caliber
than that of important shows in the
North and East. This was held to be
true notably in the English bulldog,
the English setter, the Scottish terrier
and the collie divisions.
Detroit Collie Wins.
In the collie class, tense half-hour
was afforded when the class for best
of breed was called. Into the ring
walked Bellehaven Black Lucason.
