of II. of the inmates Of the Bishopgate
Kennels, which are owned by MIS- ruin
Bishop. Of Sheepshead Bay.
Mrs. Bishop has one Of the tnest col
lections of Pekingese spanlels IN the
East, bat the youthful fsncler is 50
very modest in regard to her achleVe-
ments as a breeder that nearly every
one is amazed at the size OF the blsh-
opoate Kennels and the perfection Of
the inmates.
When Mrs. Bishop is interviewed on
the subject Of Pckingese and their
breeding she laughs and says;
"Wen. / like raising Pekes even bet
ter than china painting, and ] used to
think there was nothing IN the world
quite so interesting as putting Vlolets
and roses on china plates. Raising
Pekingese was az first just one of my
fads, and now il is the most important
thing in my life
Mrs. Bishop thinks that there is no
other dog which can in any way COM
pare with the Pekingese spaniel, and
one is inclined to agree with her when
he becomes acquainted with her canine

kennels a number Of youngsters thaI

is not difficult to enthuse. The best
Of it all is that Mrs. Bishop bred and
raised every one OF them herself within
the las. three years, and she has re-
tanned them in her kennels INTO the
third and fourth generations.

est little matrons IN the country, ana
although she is a great-grandmother
one would never suspect II from her
demeanor. She is the first in war,
first in peace and first in the heart OF
her owner.
The first litter owned by Mrs. Bishop
was by Mrs. William Sheppard's klng
Beetle Of Nimour. one OF Broadoah
Beetles most noted sons. Woo Foo Is
grandson Of Oh. Gnu Erik Of Alder
bourne. so that the splendid blood OF
Cbu Erik and Broadoak Beetle is COM

Pu Vi is the household pet, and Will
sit up on his hind legs for hours and
hold a dialogue with any one who VIII
tai kto him. The funny part Of It IS
that he pitches his voice in exactly the
same key as that of the person with
whom he is holding his tete-a-tete.
Pu Vi is a hospitable little soul, and
loves to see visitors come to the KEN
nels. The boarders usually arrive IN
large, coverd baskets, and, while Pu
vi can tell basket when he sees one,
he has not learned to distinguish be-
tween the various kinds. Any one,
therefore, who enters the BishOpgate
portals with a basket on his arm is
given the glad hand oy Pu vi. Whether
the basket contains potatoes. carrots
or dogs il is all the same to Pu vi.

sister. Kewpie are four months old
Kewpie was so named because she
looks exactly like Kewpie kid. These

Yen How is considered the bright par

black mask, has remarkably short
nose, wonderful bone and coat that

months.
The other four are about the same
age as Kewpie and Yen How. They are

Stanley Myrick has litter Of pup
pies in his kennels by Pu VI which he
declared were as good as any Pekes
that he ever has seen, and Mn Myrick
has had considerable experience with
the Celestial dog. In this litter is a
wonderful parti-colOred youngster
which Mrs. Bishop is going to try TO
buy if Mr.. Myrick will consent TO part
with him.
In the Bishopgate Kennels are few
Pomeranians. although Mrs. Bishop
says that they seem so anGmic after
The regal Pekes.

When Mrs. Bishop was approached
on the subject of monetary returns
