In spite OF counter attraction in the
big Sixty-ninth parade tie show OF the
American Poneranian Club at the Wal
dorf-Astoria Hotel yesterday afternoon
went forward very successfully. More
than seventy dogs OF all classes were
shown and there were a number OF at
tractive special prizes Tho attendance
was unexpectedly large.
The ladies Of the club who were re-
sponsible for the show had, many Of
them. exhibits in the various classes, but
to woman they were. or said they were.
more interested in the broad aim OF the af-
fair. which was to restore the aristocretic
Pom to his former supremacy among toy
dogs. than in the prize winning power OF
their especial darliugs In their srgu-
ment they recalled what a number of
fanciers will grant, that the Pom Is the
most beautiful OF tho toys and that he
Is besides every inch a dog and not a
freak. The Pom averages from three to
five pounds. but small as he may be he
is quite capable Of giving a good ac-
count OF himself in q scrap. This quail
ity in dog oP-me adds to others force
and popularity.
Among the club members who were
present. most of whom had dogs in the
show, were Mrs. Frank T. Clarke. to
whom is due credit for getting together
the elaborate list Of specials: Miss Anna
SANDS. Miss Theodore wilbour. Miss FL
len Latin, Miss Rita Harlan. Mrs Irwin
w. Day, Mrs. +. NJ. Holllns and Mrs
George Ehret. Jr These ladies' met
their friends afterward at tea In the
dining room OF the hotel.
Throughout the afternoon the apart
ment where the dogs were shown was
crowded. and as THE Sun Tobacco Fund
is TO have the net proceeds 1t is likely to
benefit handsomely. In the gathering
were many soldiers and sailors, who
were persona grata 10 the show While
admiring the dogs several OF these SER
vice men. who have benefited by the
smokes sent abroad. took the opportunity
OF testifying their gratitude to the fund
and praised the women Of this club for
making II a beneficiary.

tons appears one which resulted from

In the recent donors letters are some
written on this side after the return OF
soldiers TO their homes. For various
reasons they were unable 10 send back
acknowledgements of tobacco gifts while
in service abroad. but they have not for
gotten the JOY these gifts brought TO
them and they hasten as soon as they
have landed to thank the donors. Ser
geant G. Buckley was of Battery D.
