dog show is groat place 10 study not only
dogs but folks as well. and this one passes the
mark in that particular. In the first place, there
are sixty-nve moro entries at tho Garden
exhibition than ever BEFORE and then Wis
itors arc far moro numerous. Tho man who
said that tho moro he saw Of mon tho better
he liked dogs surely must have attended dog
show somewhere. Any way, he has good many
followers around these parts just now. The dogs
do not suffer by comparison. Every type is taking
part in the show, and all types in the shape
Of human beings, from little fellows tagging to
their nursemaids apron strings talking puppy
lore necessarily, to the lean, lanky six.footer
from tho country, who hangs lovingly over the
field dogs telling dog and game stories, either
visit the CANNES occasionally or spend most of
their time with them. Cats are philosophers;
dogs not, but they have attained more wide
spread popularity. Cats arc Independent In
their nature. and this attribute calls forth re-
spect from every thoughtful human being; dogs
are loving. and they love to be loved, and this
breeds affection.
The dogs do not like their quarters, and they
tell each other about 1t as best they can from
the time their toilets are made for them early
In the morning until night. Enthusiastic fanciers
cannot make much out Of the canine chorus, but
even the most Indifferent lover Of dogs Is touched
by their varied expressions Of misery. homesick.
nCsa. and defiance.
Tho first thing that visitors do on entering the
Garden Is TO make rush for their favorite
breeds. Wee boys and girls ask the catalogue
venders at the entrance where tho "teeny,
weony dogs are, and dart up the steps leading
TO the Twenty-sixth street side OF the gallery to
express their straightforward little opinions
about tho hairy midgets Up-to-date young
women ask, "Whero are the pugsf r. The fact is
apug is a dead dog so far as fashion goes, and
those who once worshipped his ugly little snubby
sace now say, where are the bull terricrsi'
and strike n bee line for bulldog row.
