NEWS FROM DOGDOM
Notes on Variety of Subjects of Interest in
Washington and Vicinity
By r. r. TavnfOn.

A recent visit to the National
Gallery of Art was trip that paid
dividends in more ways than one.
The well known pictures and
statues held special significance for
the student of dog anatomy and
history, as well as for the general
dog lover. Dogs were an integral
part of many of the most famous
paintings, but in no case were they
the leading figures. The artists
took the animals for granted, put
ting them in, perhaps, because they
felt instinctively that their pictures
would be incomplete without them.
The dog historian or geneticist
found the dogs in the pictures in
teresting from their own special
viewpoints. 1t is amazing to realize
how little dogs, as well as people,
have changed in 10, these many
centuries. Improved breeding meth
DDS and dog shows Notwithstanding
more than one dog painted in the
18th and 18th centuries could give
many modern show type of the
same breed a run for its money.
Take the greyhounds in the "Tri-
umphal Procession" painted by
Giovanni Battista Utile way back
in the 18th century. 1t wouldn't
surprise me if they could teach
Ch Giralda's Cornish Man a thing
or two. Even their collars are of
the same type in current use for
that breed of dog. In the Hearst
collection, on display recently in
some New York department stores,
there were some 18th and 18th
century tapestries on which grey
hounds played their parts. They
too, were of the same type and
excellence, which would indicate
that greyhounds were widely dis
tributed and of uniform type at
that time.
But coming back to the National
Gallery, in a painting of the
Marquesa de Pontejos by Goya Y
Lucientes Q746-1828) there is very
fair picture of pug. And the same
Goya painted a brown n-and-white
hound that is the prototype of all
the hounds in the back streets of
or Virginny's small towns.
That the spaniel held its present
high place as a lady's pet and COM
panion may be deduced easily from
several pictures in the gallery. A
reddish brown and-white spaniel
figures prominently in three pic
tures-one of the Frankland sisters
by John Hoppner Q758-1810), an
other, entitled The Intruder" by
Gabriel MetSu Q629-1660 and the
third, called "Suitor's VISIT" by G.
Ter Borch Q617-166D. These
spaniels are all more nearly like
what is known now as a Sussex
spaniel rather than the more COM
mon cocker. but there is no doubt
of the family relationship. Nor is
there any question of the dogs
right to be in the picture. In each
case the animal is a vital part of
the whole and in at least one, THE
Intruder" is the key to the whole.
Other breeds easily identified are
a dachshund, on banner in THE
Triumph of Chastity" by Man
tegna, painted about 1900; a toy
spaniel in Crespi's Portrait of a
Girl" painted about 100; whippets
or Italian greyhounds in a picture

In Local Bridge Circles
. By Frank B. Lord

The National Press Clubs bridge
players ended their season last Mon
day night with banquet in the
auditorium of the club. 1t was dis
tinctively an evening of fun, and
after the dinner there was a pair
game in which members drew lots
for partners, resulting in combina-
tions that never before had ex-
listed.
Ned Brooks. chairman of the
Games Committee, presided, and
presentation of the dozen or more
trophies and prizes won during the
series which began last September
was made by John L. Edwards. The
first was the beautiful silver cup,
donated by Ely Culbertson 10 years
ago, when the games were started,
and which, like the rest OF the
capital trophies, bears the names of
each pair of annual winners.
There were also other trophies
donated from time to time by friends
of the organization, including one
by M. H. Mcintyre, one of the Presi-
dents secretaries and member OF
the club: one by Victor Smith, one
of the games high lights and an au-
thority on rules; and another by
the Mexican Ambassador, who is
sometimes a player at the club. All
are suitably inscribed and played
for each year In addition there were
individual season prizes for top
scores made in the aggregate of
events.
The bridge group has now sus-
pended activities until next fall,
when a new series will begin, but
rubber bridge will be continued
throughout the summer by its mem
bers and others.
In the after dinner, catch-as-
catch-can game, the winners were
Mr.. Edwards and Mrs. Mildred
Linderman, first; DR.. A. F. ODonnell
and Mrs. Hogan, second. and Oliver
Hoyen and partner, third. Paul E.
Golden officiated as director and
scorekeeper.
The American Contract Bridge
League has granted the request Of
the Federal Bridge League for per-
mission to hold master point pair
game through the summer season,
before the leagues regular team
games begin in September. These
matches will occur on the last Tues
day. of each month, and will afford
participants, regardless of their
membership in the local league, an
opportunity to acquire much-coveted
master points without going out of
town to get them, as the games will
be open to all players.
At last Tuesdays pair game ses-
sion the winners were George
Kathan and Robert Young, first, and
DR.. and Mrs. A. j. Steinberg, second,
North and South, and Dr.. w. H.
Gorton and Mr.. Blylie, first, and
Rush Buckley and Rudolph AUX
shun, second, East and West.
The Women's Auxiliary, an off,
shoot of the Washington Bridge
League, has opened its membership
list to those women who are not af-
filiated with the league, but is ex-
periencing some difficulty in finding
a place where its games can be held.
The membership at the present time
is not sufficiently large to enable the
women to hire a suitable hall for the
games, and it may become necessary
for some of them to open their
homes for the purpose. The events
will be held twice month, preceded
by q luncheon. The suggestion has
been made that alternate sessions be
given over to rubber bridge, as there
are many who prefer that form Of

seemed to have awakened mem
orieS of other and even douehtier
rabbits in many minds. One of the
remembered rabbits was named
Rodney because he looked so much
like the oil portrait of the young
owners great-grandfather. Rodney
was no friend of the family dogs.
On the contrary, the dogs loathed
and feared him When Rodney, who
was full of good living and an ex-
cess OF vitamins, was displeased
he would chase the offending pooch
and kick him with his hind legs.
Even the field or garden variety of
RABBIT packs an awful wallop In
his hind legs. Much practice and
the aforementioned vitamins made
iethal weapons of Rodney's hind
legs.
Dog shows have increased tre-
mendously all over the country. In

are 127 per cent more shows than
IN the same months 10 years ago.
AS for July and August, they used

Hubert Winfred Horn was my per-

friend of every devotee of chess in
Washington. His passing leaves a
vacant niche in the local coterie of
players who visualize chess as more
than game and who bear for $50
cial chess" feeling of affectionate
warmth. Winfred was blessed with
a fertile imagination, keen math-
ematical mind, love for statistical
analyses and the rare quality of ex-
ecution Of originally conceived
ideas. He engendered order and
precision in every chess program he
planned. OF scholarly bent, he was
a graduate of Yale and continued
his graduate studies at the American
University. I earnestly believe he
lived life and measured it by the
golden rule. In that ethereal king
dom to which the good and the just
are committed by fate, I am sure
Winfred Horn has place of honor
