"oWNEY" ON HIS TRAVELS.
The Famous Albany Postofice Dog and His
Vova9a to China


On August 10, 1895, Owney was photo
graphed, walked up the gang plank of
the good ship Victoria of the N.
p. s. S. Co., and was welcomed by
Captain Panton, whose guest he was to
be. Owney had his credentials in a
travelling bag, and he carried also his
blanket, brush and comb, his medal
harness for full dress, and letter of in
PRODUCTION to the postal authorities of
the world. As the steamer backed out
from the dock hundreds of people waved
their hands and wished Owney a safe
and prosperous voyage, and so the trip
began.
and after an uneventful voyage he ar
rived at Yokohama on October 3. Here
his baggage was examined with no lit
tie curiosity by the officials, as no digni-
tary had before entered Japan who own
ed so many decorations that he was
obliged to carry them in bag.
1t was concluded that Owney must be
either a dog of very high rank or the
property of distinguished person, and
an Rccount Of him was promptly for
warded for the information of his i'm
perfa1 majesty, the mikado.
A few days later an official waited up
on Owney, and presented him with a.
passport bearing the seal of the mikado.
1t was addressed to the American dog
traveller, and in very fiowery language
extended to him the freedom of the IN
terror country. There were some stip-
ulations which. In all probability, Owney
would have agreed to had he made the
trip. Some were as follows: 1.-THE bear
err is expressly cautioned to observe in
every particular the directions of the
Japanese government printed in Japa-
nese characters on the back of the pass
port, an English translation of which is
given herewith; and he lie expected and
required to conduct himself in an orderly
and conciliatory manner towards the
Japanese authorities and people" The
passport also forbade him to "attend a
fire on horseback" warned him not to
write ION temples, shrines or walls" and
politely requested him not to drive too
fast on narrow roads"
There was no time for side trips. and,
after meeting many officials, Owney
sailed from Yokohama, arriving at Kobi
on October 9, where he received medals
and a new passport from the emperor.
He was at Mail October 10. Shanghai.
October 20 and Fooohow October 81,
where also he received more medals and
was the subject of an ovation. His fame
had preceded him and at the latter port
he received an invitation to visit the
United states steamer Detroit, which
was lying In the harbor. One day the
