The highest price ever paid for a dog
in this country was $4,000 for the st.
Bernard Rector by the late Fritz En-
nett to Mr. Hearn OF Passaic, n. j.
Emmett had used a dog in his plays Tor
some years before that. and the one
that had been enacting the role having
died Emmett went to New York to
buy the biggest dog he could get. He
would not buy the symmetrical Bon
ward on account of his being rather
small, so he called upon Mr. Hearn in
Jersey City and asked his price for
Rector. which Mr.. Hearn had recently
imported for about $1,000. Mr.. Hearn
had no wish to SELL but at Mr.. En-
mett's urgent solicitation he named S4.-
600 as his price. not with any idea that
II would be accepted. Within an hour
or two he received a telegram of ac-
ceptance from MIR. Emmett. who had
gone TO see Rector at Passaic. This
was n fancy value, and so also may be
considered the high prices given for
some Boston terriers during the past
two years. outside OF this country Bos-
ton terriers have no value, and here
they can earn but a limited revenue:
