ALSATIANS IN FORCE

KENNEL CLUB’S SHOW

QUALITY VERY HIGH

| Alsatians were the feature of the Auckland Kennel Club’s Show, about : j3O of this breed being benched. The iinest blood in England was repre- ! sented, the best dog of this breed in the show being Mr. J. Stewart’s im- ; ported Corrienne Caro, son of the Eng- j iish champion and world-famous Caro of Weltham, for which the owner refused £2,000. A magnificent animal, Corrienne Caro has great symmetry of form. The entries in the Alsatian class are a New Zealand record, and the average standard is very high. In the bitch class the winner was Inveresk Charm, which has won prizes at many shows :in England, including Croft’s, Alexandra Park, and Manchester. The judge, Mr. Dart, an English expert, caused a surprise by placing a New Zealand bred puppy and a son of Corrienno Caro next to his father in the championship. Alsatians, the judge explained, were really German shepherd dogs, and the breed was introduced into England after the war. Other strong classes in the show, which is benched under the grandstand at the A. and P. Show, are bulldogs, terriers and toy dogs. About 2GO . dogs are benched. j The president of the club, Mr. Norman Wade, said that although the en- ! tries were not a record except in the Alsatian classes, the standard of ; quality was very high, due to the ! many importations, notable in wire- , haired terriers. Airedales, cocker spaniels, collies and bulldogs. The club had now' been granted permanent ; benches under the stand.

GLASS-BLOWING

GLASS ENGINE AND DRESS A most educational and highly entertaining exhibition of glass-blowing is given at the American Glass Works I on the Auckland showgrounds. The j evening dress, which is made entirely I of glass and can be worn like ordinary I material, is a great favourite with the j ladies. This dress was worn by its maker at the Ambassadors' Ball in Sydney recently, and caused a sensation. It is a beautiful blue ar.d gold creation which gives the appearance of silk, but weighs about I2lbs. This unique frock was made by .Miss Mae Kingsley, the world’s only girl glass-blower, who has also made a working model of a steam-engine with nil parts made in glass and operating under its own power. These two remarkable features are on exhibition in conjunction with the unique demonstration of glass blowing given at the , American Glass "W orks. v lsitors j should seo this outstanding feature.
