~UY P. JONES Of Nassau,
Bahama Islands, must take
I I his dog shows very seriously
~ indeed. Joe Honsick, secre-
tary OF the National Capital Club,
reports that he received q very urgent,
airmail request to forward entry
blanks for the forthcoming show to
Mr.. Jones who intends to exhibit here
May /. Whatever his breed may be,
Guy Jones will get q run for his
money here. The 1887 show is
expected to surpass all past per-
formances in number Of entries and
general interest.
The recently released premium
list Is one Of the finest ever
issued by any club and doubt
lessly will tempt many exhib-
itors who otherwise might not
show.
The final closing date for entries is
April "a. After 6 pm. Of that day
no entries may be accepted regardless
OF the time they are postmarked.

MRS. JERE MACKLES cairn ter
~ rier, Robinscroft Phelicity, took
the winners ribbon at the Bristol, Va,
show recently. She now lacks but
one point of attaining the coveted
championship, and doubtlessly soon
will have that one. Eula OF Macwae,
her kennel mate, went to winners at
Knoxville, Tenn, or Happy, as she is
known at home, now might be SPORT
ing the crown.
The Mississippi Valley Kennel Club
recently held its twenty-flfth annual
show in spite Of food and high water
Clubs come and clubs go, as do breed
ers and styles in dogs. The club or
the breeder or the breed of dog that
weathers rs years Of changing inter-
ests deserves fluctuations. The con-
tinuous life Of the st. Louis club is,
in a measure, tribute to Senator
Harry Hawes who was one OF the
founders OF the organization and its
presiding officer for 20 Of its 25 years.
THE Maryland Cocker Spaniel Club
- held its first puppy match last
Sunday at the Towson, Md, armory
At this show, contestants were chosen
to compete in the interclub puppy
match on April 25 at Mrs. Church
mans estate near Philadelphia.
Three males and three females
were picked, q solid black,
solid red and parti-color of
each sex.
These six will compete against simi-
lar teams sent by other clubs for the
honors Of their respective clubs. The
winning parti-colors were a male
owned by John B. Kimes of Silver
Spring and female owned by Charles
Davis Of College Park.
GEVERA local breeders recent,
honored by a visit from Mrs. Bal.
linger Mills Of Galveston, Tex. Mrs
Mills is nationally known breeder OF
cairn terriers and collies. Her Bayou
Haven prefix is known and seen in
show catalogues from coast to coast
She Is firm believer in line breeding
going so far as to refuse to breed out
side Of her own kennels. She i'm
ports many of her stud dogs from
England making sure beforehand, tha,
they carry the same bloodlines and are
Of the type that she Is breeding in her
own kennels. The success Of he1
theories is evident from the success ot
her dogs at the shows
| THE Spring urge often takes tn
form Of subjecting poor, defense
less pooches to unwanted and, some
times, unnecessary baths. II the Sprint
cleaning fever strikes you, and 70,
look on your dog with jaundiced eye
restrain yourself. If you must d,
something, dry clean him. There ar,
several excellent dry cleaning powder
on the market which need only to b.
thoroughly rubbed in and then brush
ed out. Probably plucking and trim
ming will allay that desire to be VI
and at him, and will add both to hi
comfort and appearance.
But II nothing will satisfy
you but an honest to- gosh bath,
with lots Of water and oodles of
soap, take certain precautions.
Dogs do not dry as readily as peopl
