The dogs
that get a blue ribbon--that's first prize--in these classes all
have to appear in what is called the 'Winners Class.' Then the
dog that gets 'Winner's'--the dog that gets first prize in this
'Winners' Class'--competes for best dog of his breed in the show.
After that--as a 'special'--the best in all the different breeds
are brought into the ring. And the dog that wins in that final
class is adjudged the 'best in the show.' He's the dog in this
particular show that will get Colonel Marden's hundred-dollar
cash prize. See what I mean?"
"Ye-es," replied Link, after digesting carefully what he had
heard. "I guess so. But--"
"Since you've never shown your dog before," went on the
postmaster, beginning to warm with professional interest, "you
can enter him in the 'Novice Class.' That's generally the
easiest. If he loses in that, no harm's done. If he wins he has a
chance later in the 'Winners' Class.' I'm mailing my entry
to-night to the committee. If you like, I'll send yours along
with it. Give me a dollar.
