ON EXHIBITING 



Meanwhile the executive of the show will have sent 

 him exhibitor's passes and removal tickets, and metal 

 tallies bearing the respective numbers of his exhibits. 

 These tallies he will attach to the dogs' chains, about 

 a foot from the collar, where the numbers are clearly 

 visible. 



If possible the dogs should travel to the place of 

 exhibition in well ventilated dog-hampers, with plenty of 

 clean straw to lie upon. They will thus avoid a lot of 

 unnecessary worry on the journey, and they will keep 

 far cleaner than they could possibly do on the floor of 

 a railway carriage or guard's van. 



The exhibitor should be particularly careful to arrive 

 at the show in good time, and to have his exhibitor's 

 pass ready for inspection at the door. As soon as his 

 dogs have undergone the ordeal of the veterinary exami- 

 nation, he will do well to bench them at once. 



In the numbered space allotted to each he will chain 

 up the animals most carefully, passing the free end of 

 the chain through a ring which he will find at the back 

 of the bench, and fastening the hook to the wire of the 

 side partition in such a manner that the dog cannot 

 jump down from the bench or get into trouble with his 

 neighbour. He will then do well to offer each dog a 

 drink of water in the tin receptacle supplied to every 

 bench. They will probably relish it after their railway 

 journey. 



This done, he will be wise to go and inspect the ring
