The Dog Show.
The last three days of the Exposition will
be more interesting that the first. We are
inclined to smile when we think of dog
show, but when similar exhibitions have been
held the interest has been simply immense.
This department will be under the manage
ment of the Louisville Gun Club, who offer a
list of special premiums, besides such induce
ments offered by the gun merchants in this
and other cities as will attract the best dogs
and most noted kennels from all parts of the
United States, and will draw thousands of
people 20 the city who would not come other
wise. The gentlemen who are conducting
this show are doing it from public spirit and
not for pecuniary benefit to themselves. Mr..
+rw. Noel, general manager, will send par
ticulars to all who desire them and address
him at Louisville, KY.
Now, don't laugh at the idea of dog show,
but wait till you see these intellectual animals
and you will be convinced that the people of
this country take as much interest in dogs
that is dogs of respectability-a they do in
other useful animals. S. L. Z.
