Verdict on Best Doq
Of Capital Show
Brings Surprise
Highest Honors Go to
Ch. Noaquit Notubie's
Pride, q Black Cocker
BY r. r. TAYNTON.

Col. Brydon Tenant of Richmond
put a surprise ending on the 18th
National Capital dog show at the
Riverside Stadium yesterday when
he chose the black cocker spaniel
Oh. Nonquit Notable's Pride, as the
best dog in the show, although the
cocker has been consistent best
of breed winner and has placed fire.
quently in the group, he did not on
this occasion show the flash and
showmanship one expects in a best
in show dog.
His most formidable rival in the
final group was the Giralda -owned
German shepherd, Champion Thora
Won Bern of Giralda, which had de-
feated the fastest group in the show
earlier yesterday. Probably two OF
the most spectacular dogs being
shown represented their respective
groups at this show. They were the
beautifully put down Afghan hound
Oh. Tanyah Sahib of Cy Ann, ano
the brown poodle, Oh. Blakeen
Cyrano. owned by the Lowmon,
Kennels. DR.. and Mrs. Charles C
Stalter own the terrier representa-
tive, the Scottish terrier Ch. Bar
berry Knowe Larkspur.
Different Type of Wire Hair.
Larkspur was closely pressed in
the group by a newcomer to group
honors, a wire fox terrier, Page Boy
Of Westwire, owned by Mrs. F. H
butcher. This dog differs in type
from the wire hairs that have beer
winning recently. He is larger
heavier, more of a stallion type. His
markings and coloring, too, differ
from that of recent fashion, beine
white with tan head and body spot
This heavier type of dog may be
the salvation of a breed that has
apparently been bred too fine ir
recent years.
An innovation in ribbon presenta.
ton was made when the ribbon.
for the four place winners were pre-.
sented by four co-eds from the Uni.
versity of Maryland, each dressed
in the color appropriate to hel
award. Carlyn Lowe presented the
blues; Joan Bell, the reds; Caro-
Deitzman handed out the yellow
ribbons and Miriam Way presented
the whites.
