s'Baby," the erstwhile belle of the cat
Baby is owned by Miss Agnes Adler
and the pair-for Baby was exhibited
with her twin brother-were valued at
$25. Baby was plump and very white,
with placid golden eyes. Up to yeSter-
day morning she seemed perfectly con-
tent with her richly decorated if some
what confined quarters. She played
games with her brother or else viewed
with curious eyes the steady process
sion that passed her cage. All sorts Of
queer looking people were in that pro-
session and doubtless Baby congratu-
Shted herself that she and her brother
SObbie, at least, were different. But
yesterday there was no congratulation in
She cage. Morosely Bobbie alone viewed
the procession or restlessly made the
rounds of the cage. Baby was missing.
II am sure she was there Wednesday
night said one of the attendants, "for
/ went the rounds of the cages to see
that all the cats were present. l think
she must have strayed out during the
night. for don't see how anybody could
get a chance to steal her, even If there
was such a person among the visitors at
the show. 1 am positive she has just
strayed away and will come back as soon
as she gets very hungry"
But the comforting assurance of the
attendant did not assuage Boobies grief.
Neither did it tighten the sorrows of
Boobies and Baby's mistress. Up to
late hour last night Baby had not been
heard of and it seems very probable that
she was stolen.
A farmer by the name of Anderson
brought a very curious looking cat to the
exhibit yesterday. 1t is maltese in color
and very large. The hair is long and
though the coat had very evidently been
neglected it is easy to see that the cat
when well cared for will be a beauty.
The farmer declared that the cats father
and mother were short-haired cats.
The judging was all completed in the
cat department yesterday and most of
the cages We're decorated with ribbons
of one color or another. The show will
close Saturday night.
