The move to hold such a affair is sponsored by members the Washington Kennel Club, and {is prabable that the proposed event e the form of a match sho one hela at the Ebbitt Hotel eacly in May of last year. At this | show o great deal of promising ma- terlal was uncovered, and many' nov. ices came_ to know that their doss wers posscssed of real show qualit: Despite the fact that distemper has claimed a large number of good puppies during the past winter, it is understood that thero still are a Kennels. Since there has been”quite an epidemic of distemper, it has Leen suggested that any proposed puppy match should be heid in an open field. Another suggestion is that the judges be asked to voice their criti eisms of each entrant, so that the | judging may be rendered instructive. This is in llne with the usual prac- tice among the clubs in and around the big cities of the north where | monthly matches of this acter | frequently are held. An objection to this plan has been that (oo few ioca breeders are qualified to ofier such icism, and the ready answer to this objection is that there are many well informed Baltimore fanciers, W jalways have gladly co-operated with the ‘efforts of the local club and who judging, thus leaving Washingion breeders free to exhibit their young stock. The high class of Washington bird dogs was well demonstrated during the past week at the spring trials of the English Setter Club-in Medford, N. J., when Bell of Washington, own- ed and handled, by Frank Kidwell of the National Capital Field Trial Club, took second honors in an entry of | twenty-seven puppies. First place was won by Dr. Otis D, Stickney of Atlantic City, also a member of the local club. There was littie to choose between the performances of these two, and the result was not decided until the last minute of the final heat. Even old dogs seldom are called upon to perform under more trving conditions than were met at Med- ford. . The ground was covered with water in'places, and the horses rid- den by the judges and handlers‘fre- quently sank to their knees in mud. Both of these dogs will be seen at the meet of the local club, which will be held at Bradley Hills April 15.
