(Interpreted by JOHN sELBYl

< NEW YORK, March 6.-They tell me that I am the most inn gportant canine in America, because T was grand champion at the re- cent Westminster Kennel club Ehow in Madison Square Garden. But I feel just as did before.
 Now I am taking my pen in paw to stell my public what I know of me, because I am so important.
 I am a wire-haired fox terrior bitch. My name is Flornell Spicy Bit of Halleston I was born two years and eight months ago in a place called Stourbridge in York shire and led a happy home life with my mother and assorted bro thers and sisters for a while. l don't remember how many bro- thers and sisters there were, but my mother was Wollescote Colleen, and one of her ancestors was Tala- vera Simon.
 Never Saw My Father
 She told me my father (whom never saw because I am posthu- nous, in the dog sense) was Beau Brummel of Wildoaks, a very trav- eled dog, because he went from England to America and back again. Among his ancestors were Signal Warily and Signal Circuit both famous. I am told we are a well bred family.
 I was quite young when I was sold by my foster father, man named Trowell This man named me Salad Bowl. which I didn't care about, but had to put up with With I began living the life of a good dog, which entails a good deal of grooming, very regular diet regular periods of exercise and very little home life.
 Winning My Number
 Then G'm sure he had no idea what a good animal I am) MT Trowell sold me to one Mir James Parkington, who owns the Flor nell Kennels in Blackburn, whicf is Lancastcrshire and very pretty and green. I was registered witt the Eng..lil Kennel Club, after winning. a few small shows. That gives me a number-very mucf covetel 'H England.
 But -Ir. Plrking son is a bushes! man end has a relative in thC Sites v-1oe, nams is Percy Rob CTS. And this man, 50 he told ms later, goca b England regularly t. buy logs He took orc look a. m; and bought me on the spot.
 s9 Then To America
 And MT. Roberts after gathering together 10 more dogs, several O whom I detested, put me on tht top shelf of a large contraptior called a liner and brought me tt America. That was in December think.
 And then 1'm really very popu' ,lar) man called stock broker named Stanley J. Halle, bough me. He likes dogs and has a ken mel in Chappaqua, N Y, whereve! that is. I'm still with MT. Robert at Noroton Conn, because MT Roberts plans to exhibit me in nu merous places-Boston for one ant Buffalo for another.
 Shows Dent Worry Me
 I still live regular life and hav' a charming place to exercise in At the Westminster show i seemed to be unusual; shows don't worr. me, and, although the other 2,40' dogs kept yapping their opinions o one another I simply lay down ant slept. So when MT. Roberts cam' to take me to the ring I wa chipper no end.
 I didn't mind anything but thu finals. There were six of us, anC the judge wanted to see me next ts a large, hairy creature Mir, Robert called a sheepdog. Next to hin was another person with curl. hair shaved off in the oddes places.
 Well. I took one look at the hail and sort of backed in. Thanl Heaven they pluck my hair off Such creatures!
