Dog Champ

The Westminister Kennel Club's show brought 5,000 people to Madison Square Garden, Manhattan, to watch with gentle excitement the final judgment among the following dogs:

Midkiff Miracle Man, Cocker Spaniel, best of the sporting dogs.

Dolf von Dusternbrook, German Shepherd, best of the beagles, bassets, bloodhounds, wolfhounds, foxhounds, setters.

Glen Iris Dal Dream, Pekingese, best of the toys.

Greenacre Li Ping Tow, chowchow, best of the chows.

Barberryhill Bootlegger, sealyham, best of the terriers.

Glen Iris took 577 steps to cross the judging ring. Dolf von Dusternbrook took 27.

First to leave from the prize circle was Midkiff Miracle Man, then went Glen Iris, then Li Ping Tow, and finally long Dolf.

The Bootlegger remained, best of all best dogs. Said W. A. Davenport, critic: "He is a corky little chap, with a varmint expression, and his name is Barberryhill Bootlegger. He is the property of Bayard Warren and was born in the Barbary Hills Kennels, Pride Crossing, Mass., on Dec. 21, 1920. His mother was Western Wistful, a lady of great distinction and considerable social prominence. His father was Barberryhill Gin Rickey, an alcoholic champion whose son inherits his liberal ideas, as you can see by the name."
