MARCUS BAEK's PRIZE DOG.
One of the Crack CANNES OF Washington
Comes to Wheeling.


Grattan G. Best, of West Chestnut
street, on Tuesday, sold his large Dane
dog, Siegfried, to Marcus Baer, the
well-known coffee roster, of Wheeling,
w. Va, the consideration being $3.50.
Mr.. Best purchased this dog from A. NJ.
Weinhardt, Of Chicago, ILL.,, three years
ago, it then being pup of one year.
Slegfried is typical Dane dog, and
slightly larger than the average dog Of
Denmark. His sire, Pluto, was full
brother of Tyrus, Prince Bismarck's IA
vorite dog, and is, therefore, of ''royal"
blood. He weighs $50 pounds, is 3215
inches in height, and measures "a inches
from the tip of the nose to the end Of the
tail; bis head is - inches in length, and
the distance around the muzzle is IA
inches. Siegfried was on exhibition at
the Fancy Dog Fair in Chicago, ILL.,, in
1888, and received honorable mention.
In the next issue of Forest and Stream,
however, the opinion was expressed that
the first premium should have been
awarded to the big Washington dog.
1t is said that Mr.. Baer will erect an
immense building for his wholesale gro
Gerry in Wheeling, next spring, and will
put Siegfried on his force Of special po-
licemen. The dog is fighter, and
would certainly make it hot for any in
misunderstanding Journal.
