...other U. S. sporting 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 problem of taking the dogs on tour has also to be faced. Accomodations for them can be found in Worcester and Northampton, but the housing in and transportation to Bermuda during the Christmas holidays presents many difficulties which still baffle the stage crew...
...times, best in show 14 times. A cocker spaniel, Torohill Smoky, was best U. S.-bred dog in the Westminster show last month (TIME, Feb. 22), in which Vigow as usual took best of breed. But by virtue of his 19 group victories during the year, the American Kennel Club last week named Vigow of Romanoff best U. S.-bred dog of 1936. Winner of the same distinction in 1935, Vigow again posed with grand ducal composure on a table in the Club's offices while Executive Vice President Charles T. Inglee handed his proud owner a prize check...
