A BIRMINGHAM DOG SHOW 267 



committee will see the necessity of putting a stop 

 to this, or in a few years Curzon Hall will be 

 turned into a photographic gallery instead of a dog 

 show, which I hardly think would be pleasing to 

 the visitors. 



The next dog show of any importance will be at 

 the Crystal Palace, held from June 9th to the 12th. 

 It is to be hoped that the judges this year will be 

 properly selected ; but as it is to be held under the 

 auspices of the Kennel Club, I suppose none but 

 their own clique will officiate. But let me hope 

 they will see the folly of such a course, and that 

 they will select judges that do not belong to 

 their association — then the public will have con- 

 fidence, which they will not if members of the club 

 exhibit, and members of the club adjudicate.
