Friction Over Prizes.
Some friction developed over the fact
that the prize for the best American
cat in the show was awarded first to Mrs.
Conlisk of New York. who entered Lou
Dillon, a seven months old kitten, in the
silver class for that award. Mrs. Copper
berg, the owner of The Commodore,
magnificent cream Persian, which has
already won two gold medals in New
York as being the best American cat, made
objection. and a referee was brought in
to decide the question. The decision was
favorable to The Commodore.
Mr.. Herbert II. d. PIERCE, third assistant
secretary of state has an exhibit in the
show consisting of two short-h kit
tens which have the suggestive names of
Imp and Angel. Although they are litter
brothers, one is jet black, without a sign
of white, while the other is pure white.
They have attracted much attention.
Maj Frank III. Peabody's kitten, "Louf-
siana," a beautiful specimen has made
mLre friends, it is said, than any other
cat in the show. He has takenairst prize
in his class and two specials He was
named in honor of the Louisiana pur-
chase exposition, Maj. Peabody being In
charge of the exhibit from his depart
ment to the great fair. Another cat that
has excited much comment Is a tortoise
shell without white, shown by Mr.. s. A.
Shipman. Js.a

cats King Edward. an orange tabby.
