WELLINGTON KENNEL CLUB

The winter ribbon parade of the Wellington Kennel Club, held last Thursday, proved most successful. The judges were Messrs. W. Clarke (cocker spaniels and toy breeds), R. Makin (all other sporting breeds, in-. eluding terriers), and H. W. Thompson (non-sporting breeds). Very good entries were received for cocker spaniels, Irish setters, and collies, and included in the total of 75 dogs were two dachshunds, two bull terriers, two curly-coated retrievers, and one chowchow, all uncommon breeds in Wellington. Entries of toy breeds and terriers were very small, and bulldogs and samoyeds were not represented. ■ t , Two prominent exhibitors were G. T. Murphy and E. A. Perrett with their dogs Cornelistone Daphne and Talamoor Treasure Bespectively. The former is an Irish setter by Idstone Benedict from Cornelistone Kowhai, bred by the owner. The other is a wire-haired fox terrier puppy by Milo Mercury from Talamoor Temptress, bred by J. H. Thompson. The judges predict outstanding futures for them.
