side. Madison Square Garden is dark and
empty and silent to-day-not cackle. not
crow. not miew. not meow.
Though the show didn't end till 10
o'clock, some OF the exhibitors were in
such hurry that they began hustling
their pets away before They made short
work Of II after the doors closed and in
a remarkably few hours the last of the
furred and featherel tails had fitted
away in crates and boxes.
King Winter Miss Carroll Mays
shaded silver male cat, looked even more
bored last evening than he did the day
before The reason was evident He had
been pronounced the best cat in the show
for the "steenth" time in his spoilt ex-
istence, and several more ribbons and
cups were added TO the collection, ranged
in his cage.
\ young relative Of the Kings, Mile
Genee, also Miss Mays, was pronounced
the best female cat in the show. The
suTragettes among the cats discussed the
ACCESSIBILITY of protesting against the
wording OF these awards
Why" they yowled, why dc the
judges say, best cat and best female
cat? Why isn't il best cat and best male
cat? It's always the way, a man is picked
out for the best"

There was an affair of the heart with
an unhappy ending on Bunny Row." A

{ ed shyly. The woman offered all she had
with her 800, 10 Snowfake's owner, for
the blonde beauty, and it was refused.
She rushed to a telephone, but evidently
wasn't able TO raise enough, for Snow
fake remained with her first owner.
Il NJ. Turner, who raises fowls and
makes photographs, created mild excite
ment by asserting that eggs were being
stolen from under his fowls. Then he
went and brought the dictagraph, which,
he said helped TO catch the Mcnamara

! fowls and men, installed it right there.
That was night before last, and yester-
/ day he declared that in the night he.
