Conduct of Swedish Shows.

According to Edwards, each sex l.
limited to three classes, puppy, open
and winners. Entries for winners class
may be made in advance, or al
the show upon payment Of approx
mately $3.50. There may be more
than one first prize or second prize
winner in the puppy or open class
but the winners class Is the cham
pionship class.
The Judge is required to pass upon
every dog in the ring. his critique IL
recorded by a stenographer, and q
typewriter copy is posted above the
stall Of each dog, so the lay spectator
can see just what the judge thought
of each dog. This necessarily slows
up the judging, but what a boon il
would often be to the American ex-
hibitor and spectator.
There Is no doubt but that we
would get more careful judging
IL the judge knew that his re-
marks were to be published i'm
mediately.
An interesting commentary on the
show was the number of women
handlers and the remark that many
of them had learned their profession
in the English kennel schools. The
condition and form Of the dogs shown
was particularly admirable. accord
