CROWDS SEE THE BOWWOWs.
School Children Flocking to the
Great Dog Show.

Kennel Club o-Day.

The doors of the Madison Square Gar
den had hardly been opened this morn
ing before a respectable sized crowd had
interviewed the man in the box-ofice.
1t is easy to see that 1t is a school
holiday. for the little ones are out In
force. Strangely enough they do not
spend much of their time around the
quarters occupied by the pet dogs, but
prefer to stand in silent awe before
the majestic st. Bernards, Great Danes
n mastirs. while their mammas, Curl
ously enough, prefer to coo over some
diminutive pug or spaniel.
In the morning exercise our a fine
opportunity was afforded to see some of
the big dogs to advantage. They were
trotted about by their keepers, and
seemed to enjoy their brief period of of
down in their stalls during the greater
part of the day and their beautiful pro-
portions cannot be fairly appreciated;
The annual meeting of the American
Kennel Club will be held this afternoon.
