...exhibition has so long an unbroken record-62 successive years-as the show of the Westminster Kennel Club. But Westminster might have died a-whelping had it not been for Superintendent Charles Lincoln, imported from England to make the first shows a success. Last week's 3,093 dog aristocrats paraded through their paces under the management of modest George Foley, professional superintendent of Westminster since 1928. He arranged benching, soothed disappointed exhibitors. His 125 white-uniformed attendants herded contestants from belowstairs kennels to main floor judging rings, kept the place clean, told inquisitive spectators the difference between boxers...
George Foley had also supervised the erection by Spratt's Patent Ltd. of a mile of temporary kennels, in which the dogs lay panting, yapping, sleeping, in which handlers & owners, as well, occasionally took refuge. In three days the So tons of dogs were fed four tons of Spratt's dog food, a sop of wheat, meat, bone dust, and water. Foley for his order, Spratt's for their larder, between them pocketed a large slice of the 875.000 laid out by the Club. Other major expenses: $20,000 each for rent of the Garden...

Before John Bates made his style-setting choice, the dogs judged best in every breed were pitted against...

Pillicoc Rumpelstilskin. won the American Kennel Club award for best American-bred show dog of 1937. So his victory last week was expected-and forthcoming. Torblack Rumpelstilskin. with his high, surprised looking face and rich mane, had won best in non-sporting groups in 29 shows, eleven better than the closest record of an importation...
Terriers (Airedales, Bedlingtons, cairns, fox terriers, etc.). In London last week, at the same time as the Westminster show in Manhattan, was held the immense, 9,109-dog Cruft's Show (which in England is second in importance to the smaller Kennel Club Show). Day after Breeder Sheldon M. Stewart of Montclair, N. J. received a cable that his homebred Airedale Merry Sovereign had gone to best terrier at Cruft's. his homebred Airedale Ch. Shelterock Modest Smasher was named best of breed at Westminster. But a few hours later the fox terrier which had beat Merry Sovereign...
