The National Capital Kennel
Club Is performing a very worth
while service and acquiring much
worthwhile experience in holding
series of sanction matches for the
dog owners and lovers of Wash
ington. The first match in 1941 was
held yesterday afternoon at SIS
New Jersey avenue and pulled an
entry of about $50 dogs of many
breeds and of an unusually high
quality. James A. Johnson of Balti-
more judged the best male in the
show and gave the big silver cup
to Nonquit Nocturne, a black cocker
spaniel owned by Lawrence Riggs
of Baltimore. The best female
in the show was a fawn-colored
Afghan hound owned by w. A.
McIlwaine of Vienna, Va.
In order to win these top places
at the sanction show, the cocker
and the Afghan had to overcome
some stiff competition. A large
share of the cookers competition
came right in the sporting group
where the merits of the English
setter. Polly's Blazing Star, owned
by john H. Morse of Falls Church,
Va, demanded attention. From
the other groups came an outstand-
ing, smooth fox terrier, Knockout
of Wlsaboo, owned by Bill Todd of
Baltimore; a hashy, white collie,
Wellstone's Leader of Gramur, re-
Gently acquired by Leo Murphy of
this city. dachshund owned by
William Kliemkiewicz of Alexandria
and a Pekingese owned by Helen
Samuels of Arlington, and the
chow Little Son, owned by Mrs.
John Anderson.
Other Group Winners.
The Afghan hounds chief COM
petition came from Gordon Barton's
very nice little boxer, Bravenhartz
Baloran Katrinka. Other group
winners were a cocker spaniel in
the sporting dogs. Helen Samuels'
Pekingese and q. F. Yoran's minia-
ture schnauzer, Misty, and the
Dalmstian. Reigate Staid Lady,

Amusing incidents are the order
of the day at a sanction match.
One which elected many SYM
pathetic smiles was the manly and
professional handling exhibited by
5-year-old Norbert Lustine who
showed a buff cocker spaniel. Lady
of BomoSeen, in competition with
some adult exhibitors and came out
with the pink ribbon of the first
prize winner 1t was quite evident
that little Norbert knew just how
cocker should be shown, and
