DOGS OF HIGH DEGREE.

Interest In the Bench Show Inereasing-some
of the Beauties ON Exhibition.
The interest in the dog show out ct the
riding academy seems to be on the increase and
all day today there was a steady stream Of
reople moving along the aisles between the
benches and admiring more or less critically
the exhibition Of canine beauty and breeding.
One can hardly take it all in and see all the
dogs as they should be seen in one visit and
| there are lots Of people in town who seem de-
termined to look in at least once day while the
show lasts.
ST. Demands THE FAvoRITE.
The st. Demands continue to be the favor
ties, and the three rows of benches that are
given over to that noble breed are lined all the
time with admirers. The Wyoming kennels
OF Melrose, Mass, are especially well
Represented in this class, some of the
particularly good ones being Sir Bediyere, of
course, Hesper, Plinlimmon, jr., Lady Yelling
ton, Lothario and number of others. Lady
Wellington is o beauty and almosO as big as a
brick house. She seems to be the possessor Of a
very sweet and smiable disposition. E. II.
Moore also of MelrOse. Mass, has a number of
good ones, among them Alton, Lord Melrose,
Lady Sneerwell, Miranda and Ben Lomond.
1t is almost rash TO commence talking about
the other o. O., for there ar so many Of them,
but along the south wall Of the big room runs
row Of small cages that are given over to the
little pet animals Of various breeds. Some of
them are quite curious and oil OF them inter-

OF the most ornate apartments in the show.

Lieut. T. @. Fillette of this city has one Of
the prettiest dogs in the lot. It goes by the
name Of Daisy and she belongs to the TERRA
del Fuegan, being its sole Representative.
Dandy is fine Yorkshire terrier that belongs
to Mr.. VIM. r. Traver Of Washington D. C.
The idea that the pug dog is entirely gone
from the list of fashion would seem to be dis
proved by the number Of that breed that are
in the show.
Settlers and pointers are OF course the strong
favorites with all those men who have taste fog
hunting and there are lots Of them, too, and
some Of them are certainly beauties.
