East End Community Club
Opposes Petition for
Change

Granting Of a coming exemption
for the erection of a super-market
at East Main and Wales street is
expected to be opposed by large
group at hearing before the Board
of Zoning Appeals at the City Hall
tonight. The application for an ex-
emption has been filed by the Syca-
more Corp, with the market to be
operated by the First National
Stores, Inc.
The zoning exemption is necessary
because the addition would extend
Is feet into the residential zone on
Wales street. The rest of the addi-
ton would be in the present bust
ness zone.
The Sycamore Corp. originally
applied to the Board of Aldermen
for a change in the coming ordi-
nance to allow the building Of the
addition. The petition was with
drawn, however, after a public
hearing.
Application was then made for a
building permit, but was rejected

Has Long History.
The history of the Gordon setter
may be traced as far back as that
of any of the settlers. While black
and tan settlers were described by
Gervaise Markham in 1920 and
black and tan settlers were bred
desultorily in many parts Of Scot
land and England. it was to Alex
ander. fourth Duke Of Gordon,
that the honor Of naming these
dogs came. The Gordon Castle
kennels. during the time OF Alex
snder. were noted far and wide for
their fine bird dogs. 1t is said, how
ever, that when company came for
a hunt. and the kennel settlers could
not or would not find birds, certain
shepherd and his shepherd dog or
collie bitch, Maddy, were called in
end Maddy always found BIRDS, al
though her methods Of pointing
might not have been quite orthodox
It is also said that Duke Alexander
was not averse to the introduction
Of a little collie blood among MS
settlers if that introduction would
get dogs with bird sense. Since most
of the collies of that time, the Duke
died in 1927, were black and white
dogs with but little white markings
and rather heavy set ears, it is not
surprising that reports OF visits 10

Summary Recalled.
BY 1862, visitor to the castle re-
ported that most Of the settlers at
the place were black, white and tan.
Rake, the first Gordon setter to
come to this country from the castle,
was also a tri-color, but very flne
dog in type and conformation. One
of the first Gordons to make MS
championship in the English show
ring was Ch. Kent. Dandle was
the first dog to get a first prize
at the first English dog show In 1859
and his grandson, Dandie, was the
first Gordon to take a first prize
at the first English field trial.
Probably the dog which did the
most to establish modern Gordon
type and coloring was Burnvale
Ranger, owned by Prof. L. Turton
Price.
Gordon settlers have their firm
adherents in many countries. Their
greatest popularity has developed in
the Scandinavian countries and 1t
is from these countries that many
of the finest specimens in this coun-
try have come. Probably the sports
men in these rugged, northern coun-
tries appreciate the thorough, pains
taking work of these dogs and do
not care to sacrifice thoroughness
for speed and flash.

the A. K. C. and as delegate Of the
Wissahickon K. c. of Whitemarsh,
Pa. had been active in the affairs
of the organization for IS years.
His interest in dogs began when he
was years old and was given
a smooth fox-terrier. He always
inclined to the terrier breeds, rails
ing Airedales and wire-hairs and
often went abroad to add to his ken
nels. He was also member OF the
Kennel Club of London.
The death of Vinton Breese re-
moves a much-beloved personality.
For SO years he was one of the most
popular all-round judges, passing
upon some 10000 dogs in more than
300 shows, including repeat perform
ances at Westminster and Morris and
Essex. Mr.. Breese was noted for
his independence and for his keen
eye for good dog with an unknown
name. He had been kennel editor
of several magazines and was an
artist of note. He was to have
Judged at Tuxedo in September and
will be greatly missed as the fall
show schedule gets under way. And
what will the sporting editors do,
without "Vint's" startling harmon
les in tie, waistcoat and handker-
chief, to add color to their columns
as he did to the show-ring itself!
A true fancier is Claude Yost Of

Money in hand, he called at the
