MANY DOGS" BENCHED.

SHOW A BIG SUCCESS.

'J. Picrpont Morgan and Thomas W.

Laxcson Win Blue Ribbons.Docs of high degree In every breed and style,

from the tiny toy spaniels in glass, plush lined

cages, to the huge St. Bernards, were on showresterday in Madison Square Garden. It was the

opening day of the twenty-ninth annual dog show

of the Westminster Kennel Club, and from ear'.y

xaornins till laic at night the aisles between the

benches were crowded with fanciers, enthusiasts

and those on pleasure bent_ What with many newfeatures, the high Quality of the do&s benched and

the big attendance, the show can already bestamped as the best and most representative everfceld la this courtry.

More dogs were benched than ever bffore in thehistory of the Fhow. No les? than 2.712 were shownby more than seven hundred exhibitors. Many of

the old favorites were on hand, and scores of newones, and the iudpes found St no easy matter to

award the fclue ribbons in such of the 43» classesas were judged yesterday. As a rale, the awards

ix-ere well received, and little or nc fault was fojnd

la the placing. It is a matter of cone commentthat, for the first time in years, r.o bloolhounds ormastiffs are benched this year. ItIs oniy a shortt-me ago that the mastiffs -were among the popularfavorites, but yesterday few there were who evf-n

n!ssed them from their accuMomed place. The1-loodhoucds were never lield in high esteem, al-though, from the nature- of their calling,'they usedto attract more than passing notice, even thoughItresulted ta nothing more than an inward Bhudder.

Two breeds, new to this country, were shownyesterday for the first time— Russian sheep dog

or outchar an-i the griffons, Bruxellois, a midget

•wlrehalred terrier. They attracted much attention.

Tbe bulldogs and Boston terriers were the favor-i:es, as usual, with the general run os visitors.

The bulldogs lead all the other breeds in the num-ter benched, and further, they are high in Quality

this year. The Russian wolfhounds are of better

class than heretofore, and an Impetus was fur-nished this class by the entry of a number of dogs

from the kennel of the Grand Duke Nicholas. The3-:ig".'.Eh toy spaniels seem to have gone off 6adly,

and those shown are a poor let. The Dalmatians,

or spotted coach dogs, so much fancied some years

ago, are plainly growing in favor again. Fifty

ere benched, a surprising number, as compared

\u25a0*rtth recent rears. The other breeds maintained

the same nigh average of recent years.

The L-enchiLg wae done with more than usualcare, and the big nitheatre presented an at-

tractive seena. The decorations were simple but

effective. There was nc lack of noise. Every dog

seemed bent on making himaelf heard, ifnot seen,

end at times It was a perfect bedlam. Every dog

.barks, but every breed has a characteristic bark,

Jrorr: the yelping of the terriers to the deep bay

cf the hounds, ard with all barking at once thenoise must be heard to be appreciated.

A striking instance was furnished yesterday of

the affection a dog maintains for an old master.

Cossrave. who played centre fleld on the Princetonbaseball nine last year, owned a bull terrier named6pS<ier. He sold him last summer to a classmate,

•who lost him in New-York in July. All efforts to

find Liin were futile until yesterday, when Cos-rrave, playir.g a:r.ateur detective, found him on

chow in the Garden. When he approached thet-ench where Spider widS the dog recognized his old

naster by every Elgn of dogdom. He strained at

fcis leash and almost wagged his tall off in an

effort to chow his affection. Cosgrave quickly

identified him fey marks, and telegraphed his owner

to come on, Epider is being shown by Mrs. Cata-

#rir.e I^enz. who bought him last August from adealer. Under the rules cf the American KennelClub, the dog. if properly ifttteil. must be re-

turned to bia original owner.The dog saow stands second only to the Horse

Show in the favor of society among the shows in

tr.e Garden, and this was particularly emphasized

In yesterday's attendance. Among the well knownpeople seen were Mayor and Mrs. McOellan, W.Butler Duncan, Paul Dana. H. R- Dv Val. H- K.Bloodgood. Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Peters. Mrs. J. I*

Kernochan. Mr. and Mrs. H. K. Knapp. Mr. andSirs. S. K_ De Forest. Mr. and Mrs. O. L.Perkins,

ilr.and Mrs. Charies Dickey, Hamilton W. Cary,August :-.ont. Mr. and Mrs. Elisha Dyer, Fran-cis R.Hitchcock. Center Hitchcock. Robert C Cor-bcO, E. C. La Montague. H. C. Palmer, Mrs. Fred-eric Neilson, Mr. and Mrs. Reginald C. Vander-bilt, Mr. and Mrs. William Rauch. Andrew Miller,R. V. McKlm, W. Rutherfurd, Murray Bohlen,ilarcellus VU, Dr. Henry Jarrett. O. W. Dormer.J. GraeSe. Samuel Frothingham and G. B. Pest.

Long strides were made In the judging yesterday.There were eight r:r.g- in ail. and many classeswere disposed of. Among the breeds Judged werecollies, St. Bernards, bulldogs, bull terriers, setters,smooth coated fox terriers, Russian wolfhounds,cocker Bpanitls, beagles and English toy spaniels.

J. Pierpont Morgan, as usual, won a number ofblue ribbons with Ina collies. His Southport Strat-egy won in the limit class for dogs, and his Par-bold Purity won in both the open and limit classesfor bitches. Cragston Blue Prince, from the samekenntl. also earned the blue ribbon in the openclass for rough cogs and bitches. Samuel Unter-myer won a number of prizes sn this breed. Hi3Champion Greystone Bredalbane won In the openclass for American bred dogs. W. E. Mason, ofLiverpool, England, showed Southport Pendragon,valued at C,ow, which won in the novice class forcogs and was second to Southport Strategy in thelimit class.

The Eriington Kennels showed a coming cham-pion bulldog in Rufus Stone (late Rustic Rufuei.He won in the novice class and in the limit andopen class for doga under 45 pounds, beating Rod-ney masher In the last named. W. N. Le Cato'sPonateUo took the blue ribbon in the limit classler does, 45 pounds and over, but C. G. Hopton'sChampion Rodney Smasher beat him in the openclass for dogs bred by an exhibitor. C G. Hoptonwas rrominent in the other classes also, as hisRodney Dreadnaught won in the puppy class forcogs. Thomas W. Lawson won a blue ribbon inthe open class for bitches. 40 pound.? and over, with<_hampion La Roche. Mr. Lawson also won acumber of prizes withhit English toy spaniele.'. i\. iiarley, of San Francisco, made almoet aclean sweep in the various classes for smoothcoated fox terriers. Wand^e Knljrht won in thelirr.it and open classes for dogs. Wandee Doris Intte tnlt classes for bitches and Wandee Duck Inthe puppy class. Wandee Knight is practically trueto type and one of fhe beet specimens of this breedchown In some years. The bull terriers were aneven lot. and It will take the winners class to de-cide among them.

One Hundred and Fifty Men to Try forthe Nine.

Cambridge, Mass., Ffb. 13.—

One of the most en-thusiastic baseball meetings Harvard has seen forseveral seasons waa held here to-nigrht. One hun-dred and fifty students handed in thoir names ascandldi/es for the 'varsity nine. Allbattery candi-dates will report for the first practice to-morrow

on Soldiers' Fie!3, where Chesbro and Keeler, ofthe Nt-w-York American League team, will havetemporary charge of the work. The rest of thesquad willbe called out the latter part of the week.

MANY CANDIDATES AT HAEVAED.

The chief item for consideration by the NationalLeague directors js the Investigation of the asser-tion that "Jack" Taylor, a St. LouU pitchor, per-

mitted a game wltb Pittsburg to be won by thatclub in the latter city on July 30, 1904. Officials of

the league say that no charge has been madeagainst Taylor, but the St. Louis-Pittsburg game

haa been discussed for more than six months, andTaylor and the officials of the league seem anxiousto have the question settled once ard for

When the National Leagues board of directorsto-day begir.s its investigation of the Taylor caseIt will be the rirst time since 1577 that an openallegation of "throwing" a game has been madeagainst a player in a major league, to require for-mai Investigation. In1877 Devlin, Hall. Craver andNichols were convicted of -throwing" games inthe interest of poolrooms in the East and West, andsharing in the profits made by betting on the games.They were barred from baseball, and have sincebeen unable to play with or a&ainst a regularleapne team.

The schedules for tha National and Americanleagues have already been tentatively made by

their respective presidents, Puliiaxn and Johnson,and only await formal approval by the lfajfunmeetings. It is said there are few conflicting dates,ar.d thac the two presidents are in such accordabout the schedules that there is no possibihtyof the charges and recriminations of bad faithsuch as were made last year. The seasons are toopen on April14 ar.'i to close on October S. Thereare said to be only four conflicting New-Yorkdates. When the season opens the Eastern Na-tional teams are to play at home and the Americanteams in the West.
