Sport: Kennel Show

Last week the Westminster Kennel Club held its 51st annual show in Madison Square Garden. Two thousand aristocrats of dogdom gathered in friendly competition. Days passed, various breeds were judged, proud owners received awards. On Saturday afternoon all prizes save one had been dispensed. The best animal, regardless of class or breed, was still to be selected.

Enthusiastic thousands packed the gallery as five dogs, held worthy of supreme honor, entered the arena. There was Southport Blue Knight, gorgeous collie with flowing coat; Dapple Joe, gaunt, sleek pointer; Morningside Prince, white bull of massive jaw; Little Rajah, mincing Pomeranian; Pinegrade Perfection, waddling Sealyham with luxuriant mustache.

Spectators cheered each, loudly, impartially—smiled sympathetically at Pinegrade Perfection whose hind legs were properly too long for his front ones. Judges conferred, pronounced Pinegrade Perfection best dog of the show. More cheers were heard. The selection had been popular. Sealyham pups are cute, correct, expensive, said to be in favor with the Prince of Wales at the moment.
