A Dog Lovers Note Book

The last two shows of the year in
this section of the country took place
last Saturday and Sunday at Phila-
delphia and Camden. The Phila-
delphia fixture was particularly
colorful. The big Convention Hall
was dressed in its usual gay bunting.
A number of speciality clubs con-
sidered the classes at this show their
speciality events for the year, and
the hall was dotted with tables
loaded with the silver plate that is
generally associated with such events.
The bulldog ring, particularly, was a
center of attention. A huge entry,
enough plate to stock a jewelry store,
metal figurines of bulldogs for all
exhibitors, and a surprise best of
breed and best of show win to
Seer's Hennessy's Susannah kept
things humming there from the
shows opening until the doors were
closed.
At Camden, q much smaller show,
there seemed to be a number Of dogs
being shown for the first time
probably in the hope Of qualifying
for entry at Westminster. Fanciers
in this vicinity are particularly for
tunate in this regard, since they will
have another, easy chance at the
qualifying show in January when the
Maryland Kennel Club stages its
annual fixture in the 5th Regiment
Armory. This club is very fortunate,
in that, unlike most other organiza-
lions which have been holding shows
in armories, it does not have to give
up its show. However, the dog show
may again be relegated to the lower
floor of the armory instead of the
upstairs location which it has en-
joyed for the past two or three
years.
One of the most prominent ken
nels in this area has recently dis

1.-THE Scotch Terrier" In which he
described a modern cairn terrier.
History records that James I OF
England and vi of Scotland sent six
of these dogs as a gift to the King
of France. He particularly speci-
| fled that the six be purchased in
Argyllshire, for dogs there were
especially noted for gameneSS, and
that they be sent on two separate
ships, so that if an accident befell
one, the other might pull through.
1t is no wonder, then, that this
breed of dog when it was officially
recognized by the Kennel Club, soon
pulled way ahead in English regis
trations and in the space of few
years became one of the most pop
ular breeds in England. King Ed
ward VII and the present Duke and
Duchess of Windsor were among
its ardent fanciers.
First Champion.
Mrs. Campbell was most ener-
getic in getting the breed recognized
and in fostering its popularity. She
adopted as kennel name BRO
caire," which was the name given
the man who led the fox hunt
among the cairns. The first cham
pion of the breed was her Bracaire
Gesto. Other early cairn enthusi-
asts were c. F. Thompson OF the
Inverness Kennels, Errington Ross
of the Glenmhor Kennels, j. E. Kerr
of the Harviestoun Kennels and
Mrs. N. Fleming of the Out OF the
West Kennels, all of them names
switch figure prominently in 1.-The
pedigrees of most American-bred
cairn terriers. Oh. Froach and Oh.
Bagpipes, both from Out of the
West, are said to have founded the
American fancy. !
Champion Nicolette of Crockshed,
owned by Elizabeth Braun of Pitts
burgh, attained her title in both
England and America. In this
country her wins include best OF
breed at Westminster, Norfolk.
Washington, Columbus, Atlantic
City and Harrisburg. Her picture
shows just why she was able to
pile up such a record. She Is an
embodiment of the cairn terrier
standard, which calls for a dog
that is above all things natural.
Nothing exaggerated is wanted.
The cairn should not be excess
sively low to the ground like the
dachshund or-up on stills like some
of the long-legged terriers. 1t
should not be excessively short
backed like the Scotty and Sealy.
nor long-backed like the Skye and
Dandie. Neither should the head
be successfully long or overlean.
Medium is the watchword of the
standard. No barber is necessary
to keep the dog looking like repre-
sentative of its breed.
The first sentence Of the stand
ard calls for small, active, game,
hardy. small. working terrier. Dogs
should weigh about IA pounds and
stand 10 inches at the shoulder.
A head that is somewhat wider in
skull than in length. with strong
but not heavy muzzle, small, pointed
ears set rather wide apart, and
dark, varminty eyes, give a foxy
expression to this dog that is very
attractive. A double coat, with q
harsh, embarrassing outer coat
and furry inner coat make it an
all-climate dog. A short, gaily car
ried tail puts a nice finish on an
all-round, little dog good for fun,
work and companionship.

best in show on at least one occasion.
Her fellow fanciers regret her de-
cision to stop breeding and showing.
Mr.. Hamburger, recently kennel
manager at Nobla, has gone to the
Derrick Kennels of Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard Kettles, jr, on Long Island.
These kennels specialize in boxers
and own some of the best in the
country. Their Champion Serenade
of Mazelaine is reputed to have
brought the highest price of any
American-bre boxer, $500. She
has been shown in all sections OF the
country and has gathered large
number of best-of-b breed and group
awards.
A new champion to this vicinity
is DR.. John H. Elvin's recently &C
ouired Oh. Basford Play Boy, bull
dog. Play Boy was bought from
George A. Gibson Of Birmingham,
Ala, who showed and won with him
extensively in the South. DR.. Elvin

class winning at nearby shows.

The Game and

By Frank B. Lord.

With the first half of the season
nearly completed and holding .
margin Of eight boards over their
closest competitor, the members Of
the -Four Jacks team Of the Federal
Bridge League feel that the semi
seasonal championship is within
their grasp. There will be two more
weekly games to determine the Sec
tional classifications before the two
session playoff. Because one play
was lost on account Of election night,
when the regular game was can
celed, the half season contest will
be extended one week into January.
At Tuesday nights session at the

Jacks increased their lead by two
boards, winning IA out Of "a. Tied

does not concern us much, either.
But the other three are fully ca
pable of keeping the issue alive
without the aid of reinforcements.
Research would indicate that all
three stemmed from a terrier which
originated in the Isle of Skye, one
of the Hebrides which is closest
to the Scottish mainland. How
these terriers originated in the
island is not known. One theory
holds that the native, rough-haired
dogs mated with some small dogs
brought over from Spain in the
Spanish armada which met its fate
of the coast of those islands.
New Home.
Perhaps among the little dogs
that the Spanish sailors carried with
Certainly the Skye and the Maltese
had much in common, from low-set,
spaniel-type body to silky, flat-lying
coat. Whatever the original mix
ture may have been, the terrier
from Skye developed in two types
one with drop ears, excessively long
body, and long, silky coat; the other,
prick eared and short-coated. 1t is
believed that some of the short
coated-that does not mean smooth
coated-prick-eared dogs were car
ried over to the mainland, where
their virtues as unusually game,
tireless fox hunters soon won them
reputation and a home with the
farmers of Scotland.
Scotland being a mountainous and
clannish country, the little dogs
were close kept and each district
developed its own particular type
of terrier. Since the work of these
terriers was mainly along the cairns,
or rock piles, of Scotland and con-
sisted of following the fox or otter
right into its rocky cave and killing
1t there, the dogs came to be known
as cairn terriers. This name par
ticularly applied to the mountain
dogs. Those of the lowlands were
variously known as Scotch, Aber-
deem, Skye and cairn terriers. How
ever, none of these names typifed
the breeds as we know them today.
Made in 1910.
When Mrs. Alastair Campbell, the
angel of the modern cairn terrier,
showed the first dog of this breed
at Inverness in 1908, she call it a
short-coated Skye terrier. Fanciers
of the long-coated Skye, which had
previously been shown and attained
a measure of popularity, objected to
the use of this name, and when the
breed was recognized by the English
Kennel Club in 1910 it was chris
tened the cairn terrier. This name,
indicating as it does the work of
this whole group of dogs, seems to
give priority as breed to the type
Of dog that is so designated.
Although not recognized as
separate and distinct breed until
1910, dogs of this kind were de-
scribed by Johannes Caius in 1876
In his monumental work, "Englische
Dogges." John Leslie, Bishop of
Ross, published in 1880 a History
of Scotland From 1896 to 1861" in
which he also described these dogs
as part of the Scottish life during
the period under consideration. And
in 1873 DR.. Gordon Stabler, R. NJ,
after a trip through the Scotch
highlands. wrote a poem entitled
