Judge Is Booed
| By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Exhibitors
from the District Of Columbia and
environs had little to cheer about In
the second day Of the huge West
minister Kennel Clubs 64th annual
show at Madison Square Garden
yesterday. The show winds up to-
night.
Only occasionally in the course OF
the days winners was there q dog
that came from the region Of the
Capital, and then it was seldom
that the dog got q blue ribbon, for
most of them had to bow to mag
nif1cent specimens from New York.
Pennsylvania, the New England
States, or the Midwest.
Generally, blood lines wrote a
powerful story in the course Of the
day, for in standout instances sons,
daughters or httler brothers of for
mer champions at Westminster car
ried their family lines through
again TO victory.
Baltimore made a generally good
showing, possibly the best being
when Mrs. John H. O'Donovan's s
Distinction of Navonado was &C.
claimed the best American-bred dog
among the English cocker spaniels,
and a Virginia exhibitor, Mrs. Lea
Casper of Norfolk, got a ribbon in
the same class when her Dauntless
Coon of Tullock won second prize
in the open dog class and first prize
in the winners division.
Judge Is Awarded Boos.
The day was not without its
touches Of drama. The most out
of the ordinary came when an in
tense night gallery at the long
judging Of the Daschunde roundly
booed Judge when he made his
award in one Of the classes. It
neither perturbed the Judge nor
changed the effect of his decision.
During the day four major awards
went to dogs whose forebears or
members of their immediate fami-
lies have had the same sort Of luck.
For example, the pretty tri-color
collie from Chicago, Champion Hertz
vile Headstudy, that went best, is a
son of Champion Hertzville Head
stone, that was best of his group
at Westminster two years ago.
Then Champion Marc of Maridor
took up where his litter brother,
Daro of Mirador, left OF two years
ago. Daro was taken i'll after
winning best of show and today the
brother was named best of breed in
the setter class-and experts FORE
cast that he might step into the
same sort Of select company that his
brother enjoyed before him.
Champion Blakeen Eiger is a son
of Champion Nunsoe Due de la
Terrace of Blakeen and the son
today was named the winning
poodle. The father, back in 1885,
won the same honor.
And a terry blue kerry called
Cnoc LUNG Surprise did the un-
daughterW Thing of beating her own
mother today In the race for the
best of breed. The mother, cham
pion Bundle Bee of Delwin had
won more honors than her handlers
could recount, but she wasn't as
good as her offspring today
And so 1t went down the line.
The day was a long one and had
little appeal for a crowd that didn't
compare in size to yesterdays Lin
coin birthday gathering. Tempers
frayed-as shown by the booing of
the judge-and the dogs set up an
unholy din from their benches In
the basement, for they were getting
almost as tired of it all as their
masters. who glared at the judges
when they lost and grinned like
school kids when they won.
Two of the most notable triumphs
of the afternoon were won by Illi-
nois dogs. Champion Boynehouse
Brutus of Barham won the airdale
best of breed and Champion Afra v.
Hoheluft in the German shepherds.
Boynehouse Brutus is from the Har-
old Florsheim place of Deerfield and
Afra comes from Lake Forest, where
his owner, Owen A. West, has his
kennel.

of Roxdane, powerful entry and
one Of the most beautiful dogs
on the show, won the best Of breed
among the great Danes. He Is
