IN QoG SHOWS opening April ~ VII
provide two days of canine carnival
The first will be spent on the Mu.
nicipal Ball Grounds at Alexandra
under the auspices of the Old Do
minion Kennel Club. The second
day the show will move to the beau
tiful grounds of the Meadowbrool
Saddle Club on East-West highway
where the National Capital Ken.
mel Club will take over the show.
Undoubtedly this unusual conflu.
ence Of two major shows within two
days and few miles of each othe1
will bring to these environs many
OF the most prominent dogs in the
country. 1t will provide an op.
portunity for local dog lovers tt
see to what heights perfection has
reached in many breeds, both popu.
lar and unusual.
It also will provide local breeder.
and fanciers an opportunity to pit
the prides of their kennels against
entries from every section of the
country. And such is the reputation
OF many local kennels that sport.
Ing circles are wagering heavily
on number of home grown dark
horses.
Entries Close Next Saturday.
Regular show exhibitors know that
entries for American Kennel Club
licensed shows close just a week be-
fore the given show date. That
means that all entries for these
events must be in the hands OF
George Foley, 2O09 Ransted street
Philadelphia. by o'clock next Sat-
urday. Entry blanks may be OBJ
tanned from any local veterinarian
pet store, the George Mason Hotel
in Alexandria. Mrs. Jere B. Mackle
2409 Tenth street NE. or Mrs. Ray
mond Scaggs, Upper Marlboro, Md
Filling out an entry blank re-
quires but minute. There is moth
ing at all complicated about the
procedure. The dog to be shown
must be pure bred, although he
need not be registered. The neces-
sary information in entering a dog
for a show is his name, breed, color
birth date, name of sire and dam
and whether he was born in the
United States.
His registration number also must
be given if he is registered. If the
dog is not registered or if you do
not have available all the above
information he may be entered as a
listed dog, in which case an addi-
tiOnal charge of Is cents is made
for listing.
Very often the novice exhibitor
IS in quandary as to which class it
Is best to choose for a dog. A SIM
pie rule to follow is to enter the dog
If he is less than a year old, in
the puppy class-remembering that
classes are divided by SEX
Tips on Entries.
II he Is more than year old, but
never has been shown or never has
won blue ribbon in anything but
the puppy class, he should be en-
tered in the novice class.
If he has won a blue ribbon In
the novice or any other class, he
may be shown in the limit class, at
ACeAoV AAACAA 1lC A1dS
blues in that class.
After that, or before, if you think
he is real flier, show him in the
American-bred or open class, the
former limited to dogs bred in this
country.
At these two shows, as at most
shows nowadays, the entry fee is
50 for each dog in each class.
1t is an open secret that Oh. Pilli-
COG Rumpelstilskin, Mrs. Milton Err
hangers black poodle which won the
coveted title of best American bred
dog for 1887, will be among those
contending for the best in show
awards at these fixtures. It is ex-
pected that J. w. Austin's smooth
fox terrier, Oh. Nornay Saddler, the
dog that brought the smooth fox
terrier back, will be there to give
"Curley" run for his money.
1t will be no great surprise if
among those present will be one
recently imported Doberman pin
scher called Ferry Won Raufehlson
OF Giralda, owned by Mrs. Geral-
dine Rockefeller Dodge and handled
by Maestro Mcclure HALEY, which,
fresh from the ship, took the great
Westminster show and several
others since then, including Chi
cago's major opus, the recent IN
ternational Kennel Club show of
1859 entries.
