ON EXHIBITING 67 



they have in view. But the irresponsible outsider rarely 

 pauses to consider the debt he owes them, and the utter 

 chaos which would obtain if their beneficent sway were 

 withdrawn. Before these lines are in print they will have 

 swept away the vexatious distinctions which have hitherto 

 existed between shows held under Kennel Club licence 

 and those held under Kennel Club rules, and we shall be 

 enabled in future to exhibit our dogs under one simple and 

 comprehensive set of regulations, which the beginner may 

 easily master. 



We may now proceed to consider the conditions to be 

 observed by the intending exhibitor. 



Before he can show his dog at all the animal must be 

 registered as his own property at the Kennel Club. If 

 this has not been done he must write to the secretary of 

 the Kennel Club, .7 Grafton Street, Bond Street, for a 

 registration form. This form he will fill up according to 

 the instructions accompanying it, and return to the secre- 

 tary with a registration fee of half-a-crown. If the dog is 

 already registered in the name of a former owner, it must 

 be transferred to himself. In this case he will write for a 

 transfer form, fill it in, and return it, also with a fee of 

 half-a-crown. 



When either of these transactions has been entered in 

 the books of the Kennel Club, the owner of the dog is free 

 to exhibit it, and he may next write to the secretary of the 

 show at which he wishes to compete for a schedule. 



This schedule he will do well to study carefully,
