SOME FINE POINTERS.
rHE cHARMING ROY sPANIE1s.

Coming now to what are known as toy
spaniels, little fellows with hair all
out of proportion to their bodies and
weighing any where from to 10 pounds,
Romeo, already mentioned, heads the
list. He is a King Charles spaniel, with
the shortest face of any dog living. He
sleeps on a bed of his own in the room of
his mistress, Mrs. Ferdinand Sem, who
values him above most of her earthly pos
sessions. Romeo measures % inches be-
tween the tips of his ears, and yet stands
only nine inches at the shoulder. Each
one OF his ears is as long as that. He has
sharp black eyes, knows every one in the
family and has lived like an oriental po-
tentate during his five years existence.
He was bred from the bitch Flossie and
the sire Champion, by Mr.. Sem, who
owned both dam and sire.
Mr.. Sem has the honor of keeping
more dogs in his private residence than
any man in New York, there being 70 in
all, and lively time they have of it when
a stranger enters and sets them all bark
ing. They are all little fellows, however,
some Blenheim spaniels, some Prince
Charles spaniels, some Ruby spaniels and
japanese spaniels. There is also a sprink-
ling of Yorkshire terriers to vary the mo-
notony.
l ought not to stop, however, without
word about such remarkable dogs as
DIR. Foote'S black and tan terrier, Broom
field Sultan, one OF the best in the coun-
try, Prescott Lawrence's fine Airedale
terriers or James E. Blossom S fine lot OF
Gordon settlers, including Champion
Beaumont and Champion Heather Bios
som or the beagles bred at the Somerset
kennels, which have produced dogs finer
than any which have come from England,
which is saying great deal. Frank
Windholz and his remarkable English
Princess Beatrice, should not be omitted
from list of New York's prize dogs.

and a few ge1eraities Of thatkind.

ANSWERS,

It is q very simple matter, W0have arranged
with the Publishers of the Anericanized ENJOY
clopedis Britannica to take q large quantity OF
this work of their hands thus securing remark
ably low price as well as singulsrly easy terms.
We propose to give the whole advantage Of this
transaction to our subscribers, and offer to de-
liver the entire set of the Amegicanized Encyclo-
pBdia Britannica on payment Of $500 and your
signing contract to pay $3.50 month for 10
months. $50 In all. This offer Is made only IN
connection with years subscription to this
paper at regular subscription rates.
Just so. But you see, in these days OF steam
and electricity, and labor-sRving machinery, q
great deal can be done for eight cents day, es-
pecially when twenty or thirty thousand people
club their money and each puts his eight cents
into common stock
You can be thankful that you didn't sccepA
his offer. II you'd done SO and seen the Ameri.
canized edition sfterward you would have fell
like kicking yourself. Isuppose your Canvass
ing friend told You that the Encyclopaedia Bri-
tannica was simply the most complete work Of
its kind ever published9
So it Is; he was right enough so Ear. It's
monumental work and cost more than million
dollars to get up. But there are spots on the
sun, you know, and there are defects even in the
Encyclopaedia Britannica. Did he mention to
you that you might look for Ulysses s. Grant
. In it and not find word about him?
OF course he was, or pretty nearly 80. But
the Encyclopedia Britannica doesn't mention
him for all that And it doesn't say word
about Sherman either, nor about Sheridan, nor
Hancock, nor Blaine, nor Cleveland, nor Harri-
son, nor Harriet Beecher Stowe, nor Julia Ward
Howe, nor Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, nor Charles
Stewart Parnels nor Bismarck, nor JEFF Davis,
nor
Oh, yes indeed. It contains some of the MOST
magnificent biographies that ever were written.
-Macaulay's life Of Dr. johnson, for example.
But you see what they called ~the plan Of
the work" excluded all mention Of living
characters. They wanted to see how man
would turn out first before they made room for
his life ii their volumes.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-02-19

Only published by HIS publishers he meant
But If he had spoken the truth about the matter
he would have told you that the first volume Of
the latest edition Of the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA was issued fifteen years ago, and that the
greater part Of 1T was compiled at that date.
So you see they didn't get General Grant in Ii
after all.
That depends on the kind OF book you want.
Let me ask you question or two. You live
hare In the United States, don't you?
Yes, thought So Now tell me. about which
do you want the most detailed information, an
American city or an English town? An Amer
ican statesman or an English statesman?
Just 80 But, you see, the Encyclopaedia
Britannica wRsns compiled Tor the use of men
like you. 1t wss put together &c be used by
Englishmen IN England And, you see, they
want the exact opposite Of what you do, andthe
Encyclopedia Britannica, very properly, gives
it to them. It fills pages with the account OF
some insignificant English borough or county
that you may never want to know anything
about whatever, aud gives q half dozen lines to
some State or city here that you want the fullest
particulars OF, but about which an Englishmap
. cares just nothing ct all.
Right as trivet, whatever that may be-
never saw ono that know Of. But you're lust
exactly right, all the same. It's the AMERI-
CANNED EncJclOpasdia Britannica that we
iong-winded articles on petty British subjects
have been cut down to the came length that
would have been given them had they been
French or German subjects, and the articles on
matters Of American interest have been all re-
written and treated just rs exhaustively az they
would have been In the original work had they
| been specially interesting TO Englishmen.
Well, rather. Ono of the best and most COM
plete ever written. And there are four thou.
sand new biographies besides. In fact, the
work contains the life Of every distinguished
man or woman, American or foreign, now living,
or who has died since the Encyclopaedia Brir
| tannica was compiled.
T Oh, yes, a few. The entire work has been re.
vised down to the present year for one thing
Then an entirely new set OF maps has been
added including separate map for each State

nard's in existence. Colonel Rupert s
most recent purchase is the crack rough
coated bitch Hepsey, which made such a
brilliant career in England before coming
to this country.
MR.. BELMoNT's FOX TERRIERS.
New York has some fine fox terriers,
and August Belmont, jr. president of the
American Kennel club, owns some of the
very finest. He has probably not less than
thirty at his Blemton kennels at Hemp
stead, L. l. One bitch alone, Champion
Rachel, cost him g, 800, New Forest Ethel
cost him 81, 500, and Champion Lucifer,
whose photograph is reproduced with
this article, would command even higher
price. Lucifer is well named, for he is a
swift and plucky hunter, capable of clos
ing with the game in last resort and
killing it too with the tenacity of bull
terrier.
OTHER GREYHoUNDs.
One of the favorite dogs of the day is
the beautiful greyhound. and New York
has some of the very best OF this breed.
The accompanying cut shows Champion
Balkis, owned by H. E. Huntington of
Brooklyn. Balkis is a large, well built
dog and famous bench show winner,
both in this country and in England. He
is said to resemble Walter Scott's famous
MAZDA, the pride of Scotland.
A general impression prevails that the
greyhound is a timid animal, lacking

the city is Janet, a dachshund, the prop
erty of e, A. Nance and valuable dog.
Janet, like all dogs of this breed, stands
on ridiculously short legs, which look
about as much like the legs OF bulltrog
as anything else, with an enormous head
resembling that of the hound, only more
wedge-shaped. TIE popularity OF the
breed is its great power of digging after
rabbits or other game, and when once on
the scent there is no possibility of holding
them back, though they have to dig for
yards under the ground and spend days In
the search. They are quarrelsome and re-
fuse utterly to submit to training, but
their bravery and endurance are SO great
as to make up for these deficiencies.
One Of the queer things about the dach-
shund is his intense aversion to furs or
skins of any kind. A lady visiting at the
home of one of the Rutherfords, who own
number OF fine dachshund, had val
liable sealskin cloak torn into tatters by
one of the animals. Perhaps the best dog
of this class in America is e. A. Mance's
Windrush Rioter. The same owner also
each queerer looking than the other, so
that his kennel stands invlncible in this
line.
SOME FINE POINTERS.
In the matter OF pointers Thomas Terry,
well known New York real estate dealer
and an enthusiast on dogs, has some of
the best in the county at his Hampstead
farm kennels. They are all liver and
white in color. Among these the Duke of
Hessen stands foremost, brilliant field
trial winner and prize taker at many
bench shows. There is also the famous
bitch Woolton Game, probably the best
pointer in America, worth from 81 500 to
8, coo. She won two years in succession
in English field trials and then only
month after her arrival in America was
again one of the winners in different sur
roundings with different game and quite
different style of hunting. She is a very
racy, fast stamp of pointer with clean,
oblique placed shoulders and wonderful
loCG and feet
