Fanciers' association, held in the an
cient city of Rochester, recently, this
new pet reached his highest popular
ity and met with universal admira-
ton. There were lit of the pretty lit
tie creatures on exhibition, and the
favorite and chief prize winner, pure
white all over, excepting his eyes,
which were two little beads of brilliant
black, was the property of Mrs. George
Atlee of Royston, Herts. Exhibitors
come from Scotland, Ireland, Wales
ard all parts of England.
The colors of the pretty little ami
mals-the mou can nc longer be
classified as vcrmiB-were black, fawn,
chocolate, white, cream, DGtch-
marked, variegated, tortoise and
white, tricolor. sable, golden agouti,
silver gray. black and tan. and blue.
