Exhibitors and club members
voted the al-breed. all-age sane
ton match of the National Capt.
tai Kennel Club held at the
Silver Spring Armory yesterday a
grand success There were l68 dogs
entered, including number OF
breeds that have had but scant
entries at the licensed shows here
abouts, notably toy poodles and
schipperkeS.
Probably the proudest man at
the show was Howard Grimm. who
piloted his bulldog, Mahobi's Sam
son, from the open class to best male
in the show. The applause which
greeted the awarding Of the large
silver cup to this all-white bulldog
showed that il was very popular
win. The second large cup, offered
by the Tail Waggers' Organization,
went to Mrs. John Groves dachs-
hund, Freda of Jonedith, which was
the best female in the show.
Many Newcomers Exhibit.
Many newcomers to dog show
circles were among the exhibitors
at this match. One who had the
cheers of the audience was the
Countess Harriet de Vermond, age
4, who solemnlv showed a 4-month-
old Great Dane puppy in the bitch
classes and won not only her class
but best Great Dane bitch. The
best Great Dane dog was John
Sperlings Rajah Of Vackek, q big
harlequin that is proving that Great
Danes are Just as adept at obedience
training as other breeds. He has
quickly learned the obedience test
routine and is waiting only for op-
portunity to strut his stuff at the
licensed shows.
The return of Thomas SamuelS to
the dog shows was a pleasant sur
prise to many of his old friends.
Illness has kept this veteran fancler
away His return was marked by
the nice win Of his daughters
Pekingese, Little Boy Blues Ace,
which was best male Peke and best
male in the top group. The winner
of the cup for best Pekingese bitch
was puppy named Bellies Jamoes'
This pup, although owned by lass
with an Irish name, was named by
the French Embassy, which was
consulted for correct translation
Of beautiful legs since the puppy
is the possessor of typically bowed,
Pekingese appendages,
The regular class judging at this
show was preceded by an exhibit
ton of obedience trained dogs. Mrs.
Harvey Browns Doberman pinscher,
Faust Won Brickley, went through
the routine obedience test work.
Mrs. Albert Franks schipperke, JAG
ominte de Raime, demonstrated
scent discrimination, and Albert
Franks Doberman, Klaus, gave an
exhibition Of police duty which in
cluded guarding, attack on COM

when the trainer relaxes vigilance.
