days of judging and exhibi-
show at Madison Square Garden was
the judging of the best dog in the
show. The huge arena was crowded
to the rafters and feeling was intense.
There were only five instead of the
customary six dogs, as the chow chow,
which won the transporting group,
had been defeated in the class for
the best American-bred dog in the
show and no dog which has been de-
feated may compete for the supreme
honor Of best in the show.
George West gave them a thorough
going over, and in the tradition Of the
Garden gave the nod to the pure white,
wire-hat,sd fox terrier, Flornell Spicy
piece~of Hallevon, the recently i'm
ported dog, which belongs to Stanley
J. Halle Of Chappaqua, N. Y. This
breed Of dog has had more bests in
show honors than any other at the
show.
The judging of the terrier group was
made the first event Of the evening.
As this is by far the most popular and
most numerous group, it was attended
with great interest. About one-third
of the contenders were eliminated
after a cursory examination by George
Thomas. Another third was given

walked or gated"

Principle Wins Foot Race.

THE same principle won ten-mile
foot race in which two mediocre
runners defeated two American cham
pions (the record, ten miles in A
minutes 10 seconds still stands by
running one lap and resting one lap,
whereas the defeated champions
elected to run one mile each for five
relays.
This principle Of due intervals Of
rest applies also to use Of nervous
energy for intellectual exertion. So
we find there Is only one kind Of
fatigue, namely, nervous fatigue, and
muscular fatigue is, after all, an ex-
haustion Of the nervous system. Re-

loses ground without any apparent
reason. His muscles do not seem to
be at fault, but they refuse to respond
as they did at first. On top Of that,
he feels tired. If he trains harder.

subject Is small and the most I can
do is make some deductions from the
present knowledge on this vital
subject.
When We speak Of economy Of
money We mean thrift. A thrifty
man does not part with his money
except for what he really requires,
and pays no more than necessary.
No doubt he will try to lay up q
reserve fund (capitaD against emer-

drain which might bankrupt him.
In training for sports and in daily
life, no less than in physical exercise,
unnecessary fatigue is often produced
by waste of physical power and hence
of nervous energy.
Athletes who are also students
should beware. They have q twofold
demand on their nerve power, and
they need it all.

Pointers Get Brace Honors.

A MOTHER popular feature Of the
evenings spectacle was the judg-
ing Of the best brace in show. This
class was made even more dramatic
than usual by the presence of a pair
Of perfectly matched Chihihuas in the
group of large dogs. So sound was this
pair of tiny mites that they provided
real competition for the Borzois, the
pointers, the shepherds, the poodles
and the wire fox terriers that were
heir competitions in this class. How
ever, they didn't quite make it and the
pointers, owned by r. F. Maloney of
Pittsburgh got the final nod. The best
team in the show was chosen from the
teams (four matched dogs composed
Of beagles, pointers. great Danes,
Sealyham terriers, poodles and min
iature pinschers. The showing of the
poodles by two very clever girl han
dlers was the outstanding feature Of
this class. They made q real per-
