The members of the 'Infirmary Aid'' under whose auspices the Donny- brook Fair is given. have left nothing undone to make this the best Fair that has yet been given.
 The matinee yesterday afternoon was we'll attended and was much enjoyed.

Georgia Richardson, Lila Bess Olin, Annie Solomon and Mae John- son!
 Have you seen MT. Jinks?' was the mirth provoking feature of the matinee, Master Stewart May, making an ideal MT. links, in his impersonating of that eccentric character.
 last night an immense crowd attend ed the Fair to do honor, especially to his "dogship." Never has there been in Montgomery in recent years a dog show, and all those who are interested in the dog, ''man's best frtend," were there, | who could get there.
 There were dogs of all kinds and de- | scriptions; dogs of sizes and colors; dogs of every specie and variety; big | dogs and little dogs, and middle sized dogs, and every one of those dogs was 'the finest of his kin in Montgomery" The exhibit did credit to the city. Won ! der and amazement were expressed on every side Few people, indeed realized that in Montgomery there were so many genuinely fine dogs.
 The judges consumed two hours in | their examination, and while there were so many handsome thoroughbred dogs I that were models of their special kind, | yet, the prize, handsome silver loving | cup, without a dissenting voice was awarded to his majesty, "Glenallen," a very king of a Scotch collie. Quite a history has this fine dog. He is owned | by Mrs. Thomas Addison ol Indiana, who. before her marriage was Miss Fan nie Nix. and she has spent the winter in Montgomery, with her mother and her aunt Miss Frances Griffin.
 Glenallen is twenty. one months old, | and Is a direct descendant of one of | Englands most famous dogs, Champion Omskirk Emerald, which sold for $6,- 900. Handsome Harry" the grand sire of 'Glenallen" was the heaviest coated collie ever brought to America. | Mrs. Addison purchased her dog from the kennels at Flat Rock. Indiana.

This little dog has not a blemish, Is a thoroughbred, is four months old, snow white, weighs two pounds, and is five inches high. When full grown this breed attains to the height of seven inches.
 dog that attracted a great interest was the thoroughbred bull dog, "Van Crommelin," owned by Judge Terry Richardson. The dog, a very handsome one, Is three years old, and weighs 70 pounds. In talking to- Judge Richardson about his dog. he said that Wan" had already killed fourteen dogs.
 And another one died" he said, "but we don't count only those killed out right" Quite a record for one so young! It goes without saying that Van wore off triumphantly, blue ribbon.
