her, referred to membership committee, reported on by them at 

 the next regular meeting, and, if favorable, then must be duly 

 elected by ballot. 



Cups and medals are offered at most of the bench shows for 

 competition ymong the members. At the Ladies' Kennel Asso- 

 ciation Show in 1902 a very happy departure was made by offer- 

 ing a cup and medal open to all exhibitors of Boston Terriers. 

 At the annual meeting, which was held on the second Wednes- 

 day of December, a number of judges are elected, and their 

 names are sent to the bench show committees of the principal 

 shows, requesting that one of their number be selected to offici- 

 ate as judge. This list is not absolutely confined to members 

 of the club, but also comprises the names of other gentlemen, 

 recognized either as all-round judges or as well known breeders 

 and experts of this particular variety. 



This year (1906) the Club's list of judges is a very excellent 

 one and comprises the following well known names: Joseph M. 

 Dale, Dwight Baldwin, T. Benson, H. D. Riley, Harry W. Lacey, 

 Dwight Moore, Myron W. Robinson, William J. Green, James 

 Mortimer, P. J. Brickley, W. H. Hanley, Alex. Goode, M. F. 

 Mulcahy, A. Mulvey and F. A. Teeling. 



A departure from the old methods of running the elections 

 was made this year. Instead of only allowing those present at 

 the meeting to have a vote, printed ballots were sent to all 

 members, who marked and returned them. The officers elected 

 December 13, 1905, by this system were: President, Dr. F. N. 

 Osgood; vice-president, Dr. George P. Morris; secretary, F. A. 

 Teeling; treasurer, Dwight Baldwin. The executive committee 

 is composed of the officers (ex-officio) and Messrs. Mark A. 

 Knipe, the Rev. John T. Fahey and Thomas Benson. 



The Boston Terrier Club also gives a Specialty Show each 

 year in Boston. This show has the honor of being the largest 

 and in all respects the greatest of one-breed fixtures. In fact, 

 the Boston Terrier is the largest and one of the most important 

 supporters of dog shows throughout the country, and were it 

 not for him many of the shows, especially in New England, 

 would be- relegated to the shelf. The shows held in this part 

 of the country seem almost to be Boston Terrier events, so 

 greatly are the entries of this breed in the majority.

 and Official Standard of the Boston Terrier Club;
