BY r. K. TAYNTOS.
The 18th annual dog show of the
National Capital Kennel Club held
at Chevy Chase yesterday saw new
dog enter the best in show circle.
This was the cream-colored Afghan
hound Ch. Rama of Chaman OF
Royal Irish, owned by Marion Flor
sheim and handled by Dick Hill.
Rama was imported from England
Just as war broke out and was on
the high seas when hostilities really
started.
The dog has made an enVlable
record within his breed, having
more than 25 pest of breeds to his
credit and number of group
awards, but this was his first break
into the charmed circle. In order
to make it. he had to defeat at least
two flnalists from other groups that
have best in show records. These
were Mrs. James NJ. AuStin's phe-
nomenal Pekingese, ch. Che Lie OF
Matson's CataWba which was gwen
a better than even chance by the
rinEsiders, since the best in show
Judge was Frank Downing OF Bal
timore, a very well-known Peklng-
ese breeder. The other dog that
has a best in show record came from
the working group. She is the al
most invincible boxer, ch. Serenade
of Mazelaine, owned by Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard c. Kettles, Jr. DR..
Fletcher Vinson of Baltimore owns
the dog which topped the sporting
group. a very handsome orange bel
ton English setter, Ch. Big Boy OF
ROCKFORD. The best terrier was the
Welshie, ch. Flornell Rareblt Of
Twin Ponds, owned by Mrs. E. P.
AIkers, and the best from the non-
sporting group was Mrs. w French
Citizens black standard poodle, En-
sarr Astre
556 Dogs Entered.
A surprisingly good proportion Of
the $50 dogs that turned out to enjoy
the last of the outdoor fall shows
were locally owned and of this num-
ber a large proportion reached the
tops of their respective breeds.
Nor did this excellent showing re-
suit from lack of quality compet-
ton since the quality was high in
all breeds and dogs from the lead
ing kennels in the North we're among
the contenders.
Early in the day, two well-knoWn
local exhibitors were able 10 show
the handsome trophies their dogs
had won for best of breed They
were Mrs. Martha Hall, whose Irish
terrier. Ahtram Moon Prince, has
been making history among the
micks. and Mrs. John Anderson,
whose chow. Lu Tang's Introduction,
made his championship last year.
Another best of breed winner was
the Scottish deerhound, ch. Mazda
of Twelfth Night, owned by the
John Herricks. And still another
vas the tiny papillon, Cricket OF
pulceda, owned by Mrs. A. L. Dona-
hew of Alexandria. Cricket has been
winning in his breed consistently
but stepped into a group placement
at this show, when he took fourth
In the group. Another dog that
stepped out for the first time is
Robbie Landreths Dalmation, Kath-
crime of Spottsvood, which went to
best of breed. The st. Bernard, ch
Highland V. Bergdean oDalakay
that took best Of breed for his
owner, Mrs. Mansfield, is used to
this honor.
Others Win Points.
Among the point winners was
Mvra Habicht's toy Manchester
Russells Princess Tiny Tot, which
finished the necessary number OF
points toward her championship
Another dog which gained the COW
eted IS points at this show was the
Shetland sheepdog. Pocono Ginger
of Baeaduce, which was purchased
tust prior to the showing by MISS
Julia Whiting of Middleburg, Va
who is going in quite extensively Tor
this popular breed. Lady Lou "
Kahle, Mrs. Lucy Kale's st. Ber-
nard. got the bitch points in this
breed and M. G. Whites st. Bernard
Whites Pal, took the dog points.
In Pekingese. both the dog and
hitch points went to homebreds OF
Helen Samuels for her Little Boy
Blue's Ace and Squirette. DR.. Mer-
ritt Pope. too, got winners bltr
with his Scottish terrier, Philabeg
Dream. Two other local dogs par
ticularly deserve mention for then
nice wins in good competition. They
are Claire Crawford's nice Great
Dane puppy. Gerta Viktoria V. d
Ruhr and w. r. Lyons bulldog
Innsrch TUCSON. Both Of these
should be very close to their cham
pionships now.
The National Capital Club is to be
congratulated on putting on par
ticularly pleasant and well-run show
under adverse circumstances.
