CUSTER CHRONICLE
JOSEPH KUBLER PUBLISHER

A particularly noticeable feature OF
the cat show at Madison Square Gar
den, New York, is its quietude. which is
in marked contrast with the pande-
monlum which reigned when the dog
show was running. The cats are slug
gish in the morning, but brighten up a
little as the day advances. They would
probably show considerable activity AT
night IL they could get out. There are
CATS II all sizes, shapes and olo on
exhibition, some Of them being beautiful
animals, while others are of the usual
back fence" variety. and thoroughly
disslpated looking. Gray Angoras pre-
dominate, ana among them are some
beautiful specimens. There Is a good
showing OF the ManX tailless eats, and
tabbies of almost every shade are 70 be
seen In ~profusion. Among the freaks Is
- rabbit" cat. which is really a de-
formed animal, having short front legs
and a bunch back, a very peculiar lcok-
ing animal. Another is a ring tailed
cat, i.s tail forming a perfect circle.
Among the white CAT is a Bismarck, q
finely formed animal with beautiful
eyes.
