Mr.. Joseph X. Emmet was a constant
visitor at the late dog show, and spent
most of his time while there looking at
a huge ST.. Bernard. dog, named Bayard,
Jr., the property of Mr.. Pope, of Bos
ton, who imported him Last year Bay
ard measures seven feet from the tip OF
his nose to the end of his tail He is
323 inches high, and weighs nearly 200
pounds. His color is white and RED, with
a white collar and nose, and has The
much-prised 'sacred cross" He is only
twenty months old, and has massive
and beautiful head, with the kiudest face
imaginable, and great intelligent brown
eyes. Mr.. Emmet took such fancy TO
Bayard that he asked Mr.. Pope by tee.
graph if he would sell the dog, and re.
ceived reply that he would, but the
price would he S2,500. Mr.. Emmett
agreed to paw that price and secured the
prize. Mr. Emmet is playing Fritz in
Ireland" at the Grand Opera House, and
last night reporter of the World called
there to ask him if he intended to train
Bayard for the stage. The reporter was
shown into MIR Emmet's dressing-room
and there found Mrs. Emmet sitting on
the floor supporting Bayard's head in
her lap, while his hody almost filed The
little apartment. In few minutes Mr.,
Emmet entered from the stage. You

with Bayard Z" said he "Well, don'i
know exactly; I bought him as pres,
eut for my wife, and it remains with her
to decide. Wherever we 60 Bayard
goes, so it he is in the tbeater he may
just as Wall go on the stage. Bayard
has already msde his debut. He wenI
on twice last week-the first time was in
the last act, where | am a mountain
guide. He looked so handsome and SC
appropriate in that scene and was so vel
received that made up my mind that
would let him appear iu every scene
could. SO The next night he went on in
the first act and behaved splendidly until
the villain came on to steal Lena. You
know on this incident the whole play
hinges. This Baysrd did not clearly
understand, and when the villa attempt
ted to steal the child Bayard saw all was
not right and drove him back to the
wings. Then, standing guard over the
child. he would not let any one approach
until / went on and took him off so as
to let the play proceed"
''Is it true that you paid 50 500 for the
dog ?"
"Yes; 1t is large price, bnt then, yor
