THE Doc CARr.-'Ihc dog cart, with Nrp.
Tenn III charge, commenced lis rounds YES
lrrday, followed hya large crowd of ur-
ch'nS. OF the h"r'lcS Of vagahond dogs run
nlnG about the streets; of the city, twelve
were captured. One wa: redeemed, and
the remaining eleven were taken To the
pound where they will be killed unless re-
deemed in twrnty-tuur hours. To-day the
cart was IL successful as it was yesterday,
and soon the slaughter OF the CANNES will
be commenced. a large number of owners
of unlicensed dogs are daily before the May
or, all Of whom are fined and required TO
take out Licenses. Not only the police are
engaged in reporting keepers of unlicensed
dogs but the commander of the dog cart
wherever he fails to catch an unlicensed
dog and can find out the owner, reports the
case To the Mayor. So it will be seen that
it is hard for the harborcr of an unlicensed
canine TO escape justice.
