New York Dog Show. 
The twenty-fourth annual dog show of the Westmin- 
ster Kennel Club was a record breaker in point of num- 
bers, and probably was higher in the average quality 
than was any of its predecessors. The dates were Feb. 
20 to 23, inclusive, Washington's Birthday as usual being 
included in the days fixed upon. 
The show was managed with great skill. Every part 
of it was kept neat and clean, and to those who know the 
executive ability necessary to manage the infinity of 
detail without friction, it was apparent that the super- 
intendent, Mr. James Mortimer, managed the record- 
breaking show of this year with the same ease and 
efficiency which he has always displayed. 
Dr. H. .Clay Glover, the well-known veterinary, had 
charge of the veterinary welfare of the dogs, and aside 
from the ills incident from a high state of nervousness 
of a few dogs, he reported a remarkable general good 
health of the dogs as a whole. 
The judges were: Miss A. H. Whitney, Lancaster, 
Mass., St. Bernards and Newfoundlands; Mr. James A. 
Lawrence, of Columbus, O., Great Danes; Mr. R. For- 
syth Little, Jr., New York, Russian wolfhounds and grey- 
hounds; Major J. M. Taylor, Rutherford, N. J., fox 
hounds, pointers, setters and Chesapeake Bay dogs ; Mr. 
James Luckwell, Woodstock, Ont., Irish water, Chumber, 
field and cocker spaniels ; Mr. Chas. D. Bernheimer, New 
York, poodles; Mr. Tyler Morse, Boston, bull dogs; 
Mr. Bulkeley Wells, Boston, Boston terriers; Mr. E. D. 
Faidkner, New York, French bull dogs; Mr. A. J. Purin- 
ton, Waterbury, Conn., beagles ; Mr. L. P. C. Astley, 
Southport, England, mastiffs, bloodhounds, deerhounds. 
retrievers, collies, old English sheep dogs, Dalmatians, 
all terriers except Boston terriers, dachshunds, pugs, 
Pomeranians, toy spaniels and miscellaneous. 
The total number of dogs entered was 1,516, though the 
total number of entries, from one dog being entered in 
two or more classes, ran the entries up much higher. 
Bloodhounds were ten in nmnber, and averaged fairly 
good in quality. First prize in the open bitch class and 
special for the best bloodhound of either sex was won by 
George E. Finnigan's Faustina (Champion Bardolph —

nel companion, took second ; he is light in bone and 
body and might be better ribbed. The limit class, bitches

very ordinary. Champion Cincinnatus Pride took the 
special for the best English setter dog. while Selkirk 
Freds carried off a similar hmar for the be^t bitcjj. ©lue 
Wed won the special for tms Dest puppy. He was quite a 
good puppy, though a slicfi, light muzzle marred the 
synmietry of his head. Eajremark's Glad, second, had a 
similar fault, while Banntc- third, was light built and 
plain in head. There were six bitch puppies, and of these,

one dogs in the novice claf^" First was won by Knight 
Errant, a well-built dog, gc^>d in development and sym-

ness, but these are trifles when compared to his general 
excellence. Heath Gladstone, a coarse-headed dog, took 
second, and third was won by Prince Rea, light in muzzle 
and short ribs; good back, quarters, shoulders and setter 
character. Novice bitches had twelve entries. Rosalind,
