 priceless, is exhibited in a canary birds cage. Another toy terrier has a small aqua rum to lie in. Many of the stalls are hand somely decorated with colored stuffs and many of the smaller dogs are eaily orna- mented with ribbons. Litters of small pup pies of nearly every breed, from St Ber- nards down, are among the exhibits not cat aiogued, and around the stalls containing them were yesterday continual throngs of denghted spectators, mainly ladies, to whom they seemed to divide the interest with the very small animals Among the side exhib- its are large number of stuffed birds and animals worth looking at. The majority of the dogs were on their good behavior yester- day, but there were enough homesick or un- ruly ones to keep the rafters continually ringing with their howls Most of them were exceedingly good natured and permit ted themselves to be handled without resent ing the familiarity. There were, consequent ly, no accidents of any kind to mention.

Many of them are quar- tered in expersively- upholstered kennels, while many others disport themselves in cases with glass fronts. toy terrier Regina Vic torla, emphatically said to be the ''prlceless'' by the owner, lady living in Fifth avenue, Is in wire bird-cage, and lying upon his dainty cushion doesn't look to be any bigger than good-sized rat ''Theres not so much hair, you see" said a short, red-face6 man yesterday, poking his finger through the wire at the little animal ''as mine has, and she doesn't show so much tan. So think have nothing to fear of her." His compan- ion agreed with him that the chances were certainly against Regina Victoria.
