as in former days. There is considerable
risk in importing dogs The ocean trip
is hard on them and climatic changes,
particularly in cold weather, often kill
them. Native born dogs, as rule, are
harder, and the darker colored ones
stronger than the grays, light slate color
or white.
The Red Brook is but one of many
kennels run by women for the pleasure
to be found in dog raising. In the COM
petition for prizes at shows there is
peculiar fascination for women. Unlike
the kennels run for purely business pur-
poses, those established by women of
means, more for pleasure than profit,
have tone and quality, and the dogs are
of a better class than the commercial
kennel dogs. The object sought is quail
ity, and the Red ROCK kennels, the Rose
mary kennels and those owned by such
well known society leaders as Mrs. Burke
Roche, Mrs. Belmont. Mrs. George Gould
and others are established with this in
view and backed with ample capital.
Toy SpanleIs Favortes
Dogs are not taken to board at these
kennels. and those once purchased are
not repurchased, exchanged or sold for
their owners. Breeding from pedigree
and prize winning stock is carried on for
the benefit Of those who are looking for
dogs having the highest points Of quail
ity. and who are nearly always sure of o
prize or honorable mention at the bench
shows in Boston, Albany. New York,
Philadelphia, Buffalo, Pittsburg. Chica-
go, Wilmington, Washington, Baltimore.
Atlantic City and other prominent places.
AS the Rosemary kennels in Mount
Vernon, N. Y. Miss Hattie Parlett is In
terested In the raising of toy spaniels.
1t is the opinion of those who are ignor-
ant of these little creatures that they are
sluggish in temperament and do not pos
sess the intelligence of the larger dogs.
Nothing could be farther from the truth;
they are affectionate and sensitive, and
require close association with their mas
ter or mistress.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Sept. 3o.-The wheat market was
fairly firm during the first half hour because
OF an advance of Nc in the early hours. The
traders, however, were bearish1y inclined be-
cause of liberal shipmens from Russia and
lower prices at Minneapolis. At the end OF
the first half hour the selling became more
aggressive because of the weakness of corn
and more favorable reports regarding the wheat
crop Of the western part of Canada Inc
freer offerings soon caused decline OF Nc
from the high point of the session. The mar
ket continued weak for the remainder Of the
day and closed in that condition. December
opened Hc lower to Nc higher at 99hQ99hc
sold off to 97Nc and closed at 98Mc.
A break of more than Sc per bushel in the
price of September corn caused by realizing
sales caused weakness in all other deliveries.
The market closed weak. December opened
shade to A@%c lower at 6sh@5S%c, sold UP
to 59@59Mc and then declined to 57%c The
close was at 5SQbSMc.
The feature of the trading in oats was a
sharp advance In the September delivery
caused by the active covering by shorts De-
ceniber opened from a shade to h@kc at $40

cause of 10c advance in the price of hogs.

PET DOGS THE HOBBY

ARIsTocRATs OF DoGDoM LIVE
IN COSTLY MANSIONS
Prize Winners Owned by Social Lead

Commercial Kennel
CANNES

NEW YORK, Sept. 3O.--Among the hills
of Long Island, neal. the waters of the
sound, two young women have estab-
lished and maintained for the last six
years the most famous French poodle
kennel in this country. In fact this is
the largest kennel of it's kind in the
world, and within it's shelter are many
of the greatest prize winners and cham
pions In dogdom.
Miss Alger and Miss L. N. Grace Of
Grace court, daughter of ex-Mayor Grace
of New York city, are the owners of these
kennels, which are situated on the beau
tiful country place of Miss Alger quaint
in its location and surroundings, and
typically English in the architecture of
its buildings and its landscape gardening.
Every convenience and pleasure is pro-
vided for the dogs When travelling they
are not penned in marrow confines, but
are on the lead and in care of an ex-
pert kennel master, who travels with
them from show to show, or when they
have been purchased and are being de-
livered to their new owners. The inclosed
kennels for winter and storms. the spa
cious runs and the swimming pool are
great attractions for the animals and
in the summer the pool is lively place
all day long. The French poodle is
and gracefully, having feet that open like
the human hand, but webbed so as to
form admirable water paddles.
Many Poodles Invaluable
The owners of this famous kennel take
great delight in their hundred or more
dog pets, their horses, chickens, prize
winning turkeys and other live stock on
the farm and while many Of the dogs
nd oOl1 q
large increase is due to breeding. 1t is
not the idea of these ladies to make the
venture rurely business one; these dogs
are their hobbies, business being allowed
to enter sufficiently to make the farm
self-supporting. The business # breeding
and selling is carried on just as any other
enterprise might be handled. but not
forced or placed in connection with dog
fanciers, the animal stores or the dogs
sold on the streets.
Some of these poodles, being invaluable
as breeders, and not for sale at any
price, alone represent a value of nearly
s25. 900 and are insured for something like
$4,000.
A hospital with glass roof to the
south, puppy kennels for mothers and lit
tiers. and other outbuildings are pro-
vided, apart from the main and large
kennel, and here may be found among
others the world famous and only cham
pion Orchard White Frock, imported
from England and winner Of eight cham
pionships, twenty first and special prizes.
and the only white poodle holding the
title of champion. This dog is valued at
not less than $500 and is insured for $1,000.
Next in value comes Champion Red
Rose, bred at the kennels and winner of
five championships and twelve flrsts. This
is one of the finest specimens OF French
poodles and is of dull red brick color.
Kundo, fine black dog. won the cham
pionship at Madison Square garden last
spring and is a beautiful specimen.
The best poodles are now imported
from England rather than from France,
