We're formed all over the country to

donkey shows in England. The dog
replaces the donkey. which is seldom
seen in Belgium, for the former costs
less to keep and to shelter. and serves
as guard for house and goods. He is
largely used for the conveyance of
milk, vegetables. fruit. laundry work,
bread and meats.
Writing from Brussels about the eX-
nibition, a correspondent of the Lon
don Telegraph says that splendid
