Champion Dogs. PRESIDENT’S SUCCESSES.


It is now recognised over :v wide area


that the sanction shows arranged by Ciitheioe and District Kennel Association are ul a very high standard, and although at the last show, held at the Dog and Partridge Hotel on Wednesday night, tliu tutal entry wax nut more than ntty-five, quality was woll above iire- ordinary. Tli.it this IS so can be gathered from the fact that several Cruft’s winners, as well as loaders at Manchester and Ulasgow cham­ pionship slum’s, were among the competi­ tors. One, tlie pointer '" Withcrni Charles,” owned by Mr. J. It. Bishop, won five first prizes at tile last Cruft's show. Only the prcv.ous evening another exhibit, Air. F. Sutclilfe's "" Itayon of Sunday.” won a .special prize for the best dog or bitch in tlie show at the Holton Sporting Terriers’ Club. Another. ” Shaun o’ Kilncr,” was chosen as tho best of eighty entrants at Didsbnry last August, and lias won numer­ ous prizes elsewhere. The President (Miss M. italdwin) lias had conspicuous success, w.lining no fewer .than (53 first prizes since Christmas. Ten of these have been won by her bloodhound, “ NYinkley Melody,” four times adjudged best puppy in tho


slum", one of these successes being at tho Glasgow Championship Show. Uer Seottie hitch.


“ YYinkley Wideawake,"


shown only once, won a first anil second prize at Manchester Championship Show. Seven first prizes have been won by her wire fox terrier. “ YYinkley Saucy Boy.” which was voted best dog or hitch at Tod- morden. The rest of the prizes have been woo by lier wire fox terrier dog, ‘1 Winkley Statesman.” at shows all over England. He lias improved tremendously of late, and lias every prospect of adding still further to his laurels. On Wednesday also, Miss Baldwin had


considerable success. YVitii “ YYinkley YVideawake ” she won her own cup for flic best Seattle or Cairn in the show. She also won the J. YV. Turner Clip for tile best opposite sex to the champion with the same Scottie.

Scottie. and showed for all it was worth. The late Arthur Bvc cup for the host dog or hitch in tlie sl10«- was won by Mr. Bowen’s pom dog, “ Jaunty Hot Son,” certainly ono of tile best poms that has been shown m Clitheroo for many years. A sound little fellow witli a beautiful bloom and good coat. The YVissal cup fnr best puppy bred by exhibitor' was awarded to Mrs. J.

The springtime beauty ot the country- Jde must surely have reached its highest


point of perfection during the last two or three davs of Jubilee Week. Nature emcil to'bc rejoicing equally with the whole


nation. Mnnv were the tilings to gladden the heart of the nature-lover. Who could droll through remote country lanes adorned with the bluebell and tho pnmro-e, with the sweet scented hawthorn just bursting into bhis-oiu, without feeling that lure were the joys of springtime in exeelsis. Anil away down in the villages wen.1 tile lilac and' the laburnum, beauteous in colour, looking just at their very best, with the fragrant wallilowcrs and the stately tulips to adorn the ground beneath.

\ot least amongst these is Alderman John Taylor, the leader of the Conservative party ill the Blackburn Town Council. Alderman Taylor is solicitor to the Cotton Spinners anil Manufacturers’ Association, whom ho is representing at the Wage- Board inquiry at Manchester. Ho went to Manchester to present the case for tho A-'ocintion im­ mediately alter returning from Italy where lie attended the International Cotton Con­ gress. Whilst there lie, along witli tliirty- fmir other delegates, was received in audience by the Pope, met Signor Mussolini and was addressed by him. and also was presented to the King of Italy. Alderman Taylor is a brother of Mr. Corn-go Henry Taylor ami Mr. Alfred Taylor, both of whom are well known AYlialley residents.
