''BOW=WOWS" DELIGHT
 FAIR VISITORS
The Dog House is a Center of Attrac-
 ton Among the Exhibits.

commission have included dogs in the list of exhibits An apartment house
 with all modern conveniences was built especially for them at enormous ex- rcnse. The bow-wows themselves did not think the expense was too heavy and their owners did not think so eith- CT but sis was generally reported that some of those in authority could not see why the bow-wows should have a little Waldorf Astoria all to them selves while the chickens and their friends the "quack quacks" were fore ed to take uD their abodes in cheap East Side tenements. Of course the ''quack -quacks'' had their private baths but the chickens didn't and the jantor service was abominable.
 Since the fair opened there have been more visitors to the dogs than in any other department of live stock" The aristocrats of the dog world have had their noses rubbed by kid gloves and been called beauties" and ',darlings'' by pretty women and been fondled af- fectionately by the children. Not even the blooded horses have been so thor Oughly petted, nor have the ostriche.i attracted so much attention. From the number of people who have visited the dog house in the first three days of the fair it would seem that the dogs lave estd' 'ished themselves as a per nanent feature at the territorial fair
 The dog house was well advertised. At any hour Of the day one could hear series of barks, varying from the .ita, cato notes of the terrier pups tu ha RTfn nf hn de from the dog house. once in a while there would issue from the dog house d few wild yelps indicative of some canine which called for the immediate attention of the man in charge Then when the dogs were reduced to silence again there would be a few faint meows from the single cage of tawny Angora cats placed up high at safe distance from their sworn enemies. And 1t might be pertinent to ask here if dogs have a place in the Arizona fair. why not cats? The wise furry beasties that keep their own counsel have just as much right to blue rib- bons and first premiums as the vo- ciferous tail-waggers.
 Something of an index to a mans character may be obtained from the breed of dog he fancies. There is the man who loves no other dog than the ugly-faced. under shot bull-true 10 his friends and relentless to his foes. An other loves a collie for his gentle eyes, his long nose and his thick coat. Fat men seem to have predilection for small dogs like cookers and terriers. and women as a rule prefer the span pl ciIE Exs hai But all of this is by the way. There are all sorts and kinds of dogs at the fair with a few exceptions. The great I ne was absent but that fine shaggy hound-something of a rarety in this climate-the Russian deerhound- was there. Tho" were no English sheep dogs or bloodhounds.
 Taking the dog show as a whole it is probable that there was a better collection of collies than of any other one breed.
 One of the rare collies was a pure white one with only the sable about his head. This dog. belonging to Ernest Stroud is beautifully marked and in every way a superb animal. He well deserved the first premium he receiv- ed. one of the fine golden sable collies was Dixie. owned by Mrs. A. w. Gal pin. This dog received a first. Two of J. F. Halls young collies took sec onds. Vern Midget and Vern Prince owned by William Goodwin took sec onds.

 There was one dog in the show tha. the judges passed with great regret. He could be relied on to wag the stub of his tail in answer to the name
 PiGrney." He was entered by Miss Eleanor Atwood. The judges admitted that B'arr'y is very fine dog but ti.ey were l., ertain in regard tJ lis antecedeEts.
