TO DAY THE LAST OF THE sHow-A SUCCESS Alb
AROUND.
One of the smartest animals al the dog show IS
a cat a pure white Angora cat called Spot Spot
leaps through ring OF Ere two or three times
day, but the agility with which she gets into her
box after performing this feat shows that she Is
loss afraid OF fame than OF the ,elp;ng Of 1879
dogs Many scores OF hungry eyes follow spot IN
all her leaps, and there isn't dog the show thar
wouldn't give weeks ratons for chance to get
at her Professor Parker trained aie cat just as
he trained his troupe Of trick dog. These dogs
arc wonderfully clever. Barnum never had two
clowns more amusing than Cap, the Russian poodle
and Dan the Russian terrier. Cap Is so fuh OF
mischief that he can't be sim moment
The intelligence Of dogs Is acute that possibly
1000 out of the entire lot Of 1879 on exhibition
could be trained to do the tricks done by ProiessVr
Parler's ten. The most interesting part OF theiI
performance is their eagerness to DO showing on
all the time Spoiled children could not DO more
anxious to appear smart before visitors The grey
hounds are quiet and dgnihed, but The poodies'
terriers and spaniels extremely noisy and pert
Maud S., English greyhound, could give Leo ana
Filemaker lessons in high jumping, while MAJOR couiu
fool any pension examiner with his assumed aeness'
This will be the last day Of the show. There
seems to BIO no falling of in the attendance. On
the contrary, II increases daily and the puoho
interest IS sustained TO the highest pitch Catalogues
designating the winners Of the first, second, thru
and fourth prizes the special prizes, and the orutes
commended, highly commended, and very hlghV
commended, are sold at the doors for twenty-five
cents EACH SO that visitor possessed OF spare
quarter need be in doubt the quality OF the various
dogs he meets.
