experienced Judges Of the breeds
they are interested in, often are Sc
verely criticised for comforting with
the judge between classes. This is
thought to give the impression that
the steward and not the Judge is
making the decisions.
While there has been much talk
Of remedying the situation, hereto
fore not much has been done about
the matter.
However, with his usual
leadership in the dog field, c.
F. HARRISON, secretary Of the
International Kennel Club Of
Chicago, has announced
unique contest for junior
judges.
1t is open to American citizens of
either sex between the ages of IA
and 81. There are to be handsome
prizes of both cash and medals. The
judges are to be three of the panel
slated for the International Kennel
Club show on and 2.
To enter, the contestant should
write to International Kennel Club,
$40 Exchange avenue, Union Stock
Yards. Chicago, ILL.,, for an applica-
ton blank. AS entries close March
II, those interested should write i'm
mediately.
Big Prize for Labrador.
Niger of Darlington, a Labrador
retriever owned by Gordon P. Kel-
ley of Lake Forest, Ill, is the win
ner of the 1888 Perpetual Challenge
Trophy offered by Field and
Stream. He has been by far the
most consistent and outstanding
field trial winner of the year, al
though two years ago, when he first
was entered in trials, he did not even
rate a certificate of merit.
Cocker spaniel breeders go in for
princely stakes in big way. There
has been an announcement by the
Cocker Spaniel Club of Connecticut
that there will be 81 900 stake for
dogs and bitches under 18 months.
1t is to be judged on June 8, the
day before their speciality show held
in connection with the Westchester
fixture.
This Is the second stake for
the breed of this magnitude.
1t is unequaled by any other in
the country.
There have been some patent
faults in the American Kennel Club
rules for awarding the best Ameri-
can-bred honors for the year. Ever
since the contest and the prize were
announced four years ago, the club
has been working on and revising
the rules to make the contest more
equitable.
The newest set Of rules differs
from the former one in several i'm
portant respects.
In order to equalize the chances
of the leading dogs in the larger
groups with those in the smaller
hound and on-sporting groups, the
winning dogs are to receive points
equivalent in number to the num-
ber of breeds competing in the
group at the show in question.
Additional points will be awarded
according to the size of the show,
two for each 100 over 40l, with
IA extra points set as the limit for
shows of 1000 dogs or over.
No dog will receive credit for
points won more than once under
the same judge. This Is designed to
limit the practice of following q
certain Judge, who happens to rate
a certain dog as ace high, all over
the country.
The new rules doubtlessly will cut
down the excessive campaigning and
the ugly rumors which have arisen
under the old ones. They will give
the dogs Of the more populous
groups in which competition is gen.
orally much more keen as equal q
chance at the honor as the one or
two leaders which generally show
IN in the smaller QrollpS.
