classes, and the latter is a record entry of every color. Some very beautiful Japs are penned, one of which weighs less than 31b., and a toy blue Pomeranian is exhibited that barely scales 31b. There are also exhibited a handsome entry of black pugs and some puppies in that variety of wonderful quality.
BADGE OF THE I.1LA.
To judge from a glance round the pens in the Botanic Gardens, it would seem that a craze for white dogs is setting in. White collies, white Scotch terriers, white schipperkes and white dachshunds, to say nothing of white poodles, chows and Pùmeranians, are very much in evidence.
Not the least interesting of the many wonderful dogs exhibited is an Esquimaux, the leader and only survivor of the pack used by Lieutenant Peary in his Polar expedition, and the dog which formed the theme of a picture shown at the Academy this year, entitled "The Last of the Expedition."
The smallest collie in the world is ^exhibited by the Ladies Montgomerie Ker. Its weight is that of a toy pug (lOlbs.), and in height it is a bare eleven inches, and it is of age. The marvellous toy is bred from champion full-sized collies, and is absolutely a perfect little collie in miniature. Mr. Megson, one of the best authorities and breeders of the collie, considers her a living wonder.
The Novelty Classes are not the least attractive section, there being no fewer than sixty-seven entries in national dogs, which class includes Russian setters, African hairless, Samoyede, Esquimaux, UHihuanha, and all the better known varieties.
The Consuls for the Netherlands, Denmark, Africa, Switzerland, and Mexico have all promised to attend to-day, when it is expected that the Princess of Wales will visit the exhibition to present the Champion of Champion's Cup to the best doe in the show.

PARIS BOURSE NERVOUS.
With Higher Prices from New York a Better All-Round Feeling Exists in Capel Court.
NEW YORK, Thursday.—The volume of business at the Stock Exchange, while still moderate, increased to 324,000 shares. The general tone of the markets has been dull, but stronger than for some days past. There were no special new influences ot work, but room traders sought to reduce their lines on the bear side, mainly because of the satisfaction generally expressed on the Boards at the action of the Exchange Committee, which ruled that in all cases the customers of the brokers must pay the tfxes imposed by the revenue law. The session opened firm and a good rally was first taken up by the Grangers, in spite of the expectation that their earnings will show a decrease for a few weeks.
There was also good buying of Western Unions bv brokers, who are supposed to be acting for tHe syndicate which bought the holdings of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
New York Centrals were strong and in demand on the Lake Shore dividend declared yesterday. Big Fours had a strong rise on a revival of amalgamation rumors, and the Pacific stocks were favorably affected by further reports pointing to an earlv settlement of the transcontinental rate difficulties.
The rise continued steadily from the opening to the delivery hour, although trading was comparatively light in the general list.
During the last hour concessions were made on realizations by "scalpers," after which the session ended steady at fair net gains.
The money market has continued steady at about the former rates. Sterling exchange has been steadier with previous posted rates repeated. The silver market has ruled quiet, and commercial bars closed without alteration at 58f bid.

PLACE DE LA BOURSE.
A nervous feeling existed at the opening of the Paris Bourse yesterday, the political crisis being the general topic of conversation. French Three per Cents. were the keynote, and as buyers came forward shortly before the close, the markets "picked up," and there was a rush to cover at the finish. Three per Cent. Rentes rose 20c. ; Spanish Exteriors 55c. Italians were a good market, and Russians, Egyptians and Ottomans were well held.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD : —
In this morning's issue of your valuable and generally authentic newspaper, you have inadvertently given the address of the British Charitable Fund as 77 avenue de Wagram, the address of Miss Leieh s Mission Home, whereas it should have been 47 rue des Acacias.

Another Address.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD .
With reference to the inquiry from your correspondent, Mr. Ancizar, as to the address of the British Charitable Fund, may I tell you that it is not 77 avenue Wagram, as the heading you have added to his letter would appear to imply, but /at_3 ct.' Aguesseau, where the secretary, Mrs. Gesling, will gladly receive any subscrip: tions or' cast-off clothes. Miss Beaton of 92 rue Jouffroy, the lady visitor of the fund, will be happy to call on Mr. An■ cizar to fetch the clothes, if so desiredv 1 - "ONE OF THE COMMITTED.
