Evening star., 1940-05-05

judging from early returns, both 10
cal shows made money. The Nat
tional Capital Kennel Club has
changed its meeting date from the
first Monday to the first Friday Of
the month, and complete figures
therefore were not on hand at the
time Of this writing, but the trial
balance" was encouraging The Old
Dominion Kennel Club will hear Its
treasurer's report on May II and is
sure of substantial profit.
In addition to some purple rib
bons and any number Of blues some
nice reserve wins were chalked up
by local exhibitors. Among them was
Helen Samuel, whose beautifully
coated Pekingese Blue Boys Ace
yielded only to Rememham Derri,
tri-international champion, sensa-
tional winner at Westminster In
New York, which after winning best
Of breed ut Alexandria went on to
take the toy group.
Children's classes ran true to
form. with lots Of barking and chat
ter and the Alice in Wonderland
finale Of a prize to every one. At
Alexandria Loretta Ann March, 6
years old, proved q game little per-
son. She showed her Boston terrier
Tippy, and the excitement so un-
nerved Tippy that he bit Loretta
AIMS bare leg. Instead of retiring
from the ring IN flood Of woe the
little girl mopped up the tears that
brimmed over, swallowed her sobs
and went right on into the melee, to
take Tippy through In good order.
Three busloads Of Baptist or
phans, guests of the club, behaved
beautifully and seemed to enjoy
every moment Of their first dog
show.
The disappearance of one of his
sporting dogs gave great anguish to
one exhibitor at Washingto... 44.e
evening Of the first day, his entry
proved to be the little dog that
wasn't there. Search of the whole
building failed to reveal him, and
his owner went home heavy hearted.
The next day, when he returned to
the bench, there was the tail-wag-
ing truant. in front Of his own
stall. apparently having spent the
night chasing rabbits along Poto-
mac Parkway. How he got out
Of the stadium, and on finding his
way back, got In again, remains a
mystery, but the exhibitor claims
with reason that his entry Is tops at
ail-finding.

town and local exhibitors, and Of
1icers and committee members Of

vially entertained at q party In
