THE SHOW OF DOGS.

There is no mistake about an Englishman in biJI
fancies; and, therefore, it is not to be wondered ate
that he may have a fancy for the " faithful dog."
Any one who passed up Holborn yesterday would
have been surprised at the crowds assembled before
Holborn Repository, all eager to witness a dog
show. To attempt to enter into the claims of the
hundreds of animals displayed—pets, " toys," ana
other favourites—is out of the question, but it really
and truly was a show of Cockayne. There were no
foxhounds, there were no " bold bloodhounds," with
only one solitary exception ; there were no " sensa-
tion" animals—the " nigger hound," for instance--
but there was a show of " gems" that was even sur-
prising to witness. When you can see a yelping
" terrier" to carry in your waistcoat pocket, and n
i
another compartment a display of English mastiffs
—unsurpassed in any other previous exhibitio lves
we give give the best character of what we ourse
