 4 Tercentenary cachet for the 300th anniversary of the first white settlement on Long Island, N. F., for details in con. nection with the new cachet.
 Despite the fact that the P0stOfflce department an- nOunced that 1t would not be possible to select historical or anniversary dates for first-day sales of the forthcoming series of army and navy commence ratlve postage stamps, requests are already pouring in at the department for the initial sale of the Robert F. Lee and Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jack son four-cent army stamp at StratfOrd, Va, on October 12, 1936. It was there that the Confederate leader died. Those who are behind the movement to have StratHOrd selected as the point for first-day sales argue that the anniversary of his death, October 12, should be signally honOred.
 Ofilclals of the department point out however, that the Lee and Jackson fOurseent stamp is not scheduled to make It's appearance until November of this year. They feel that the original plan should be fOl- lowed. The 0ne-cent army and the 0ne-cent navy stamps will be offered to the public some- time in August. If the Lee stamps were placed on sale In October instead of November, as contemplated, 1t would seri- OusIy disrupt the present plan of the department with respect to the army and navy series.
 
 One of the finest things in the recent International Phila- telic Exhibition, and one which we have neglected to mention to date, was the attention paid to the Junior Philatelists. Through the efforts of pr. Elias Silberstein, principal of a Bronx Public school, the Bronx boys and girls who were interested were excused from classes on special mornings so that they might see the stamps on dis play and hear various speakers.
 By the time the next exhibi- ton comes around these boys and girls will have grown up and will be active workers and exhibitors. Therefore, the time and effort devoted to them will be rewarded by their participa- ton in i047.
 So far as the results of the judging were concerned, there was only one serious complaint heard after the exhibition. Oth- erwise the decisions of the judges stood without a voiced rebuke. The judges, headed by Alfred Lichenstein and Sir John Wilson, deserve much credit for their diIigent efforts. The latter practically "stole the show," emerging a figure much admired by all those who came in contact with him.

Only about half the dogs entered
reach the auction block. Many are
brought for exhibition only. Each
owner has the right to reject any and
all bids. Stray dogs are also brought
to the block, but a license must be
obtained before the dog can be taken
away.
The dogs bring at auction anywhere
from so cents to 5000. A single dog
has been sold for as much as $1,000.
In 1894 auction sales totaled 81 900.
Last year they jumped to over $4,000.
Sometimes the purchase price is de-
posted with bank and the pur-
chaser takes the dog on trial, with the
understanding that within given
time he may, If dissatisfied, return the
dog and receive his money back.
Judge A. T. Embrey of Fredericks-
burg, a lover of dogs and student
OF history. conceived the idea Of re-
viving this unique Colonial custom.
The Fredericksburg Chamber Of Com

suggestion, and in 1927 recreated the

old records, some unpublished, in
" dicate that the dog mart was in
existence as early as 1898. The name
of the originator Is unknown. Doubt
less some enterpriSfng hunter con-
ceived the idea with the thought of
injecting new blood into the pack,
for 1t is said the original aim was to
exchange dogs with the Indians for
breeding purposes. Colonists along
the Rappahannock and lower Po-
tomac Rivers took part in these early
marts. The Indians insisted upon
bringing their arms along. They also
brought furs and gold nuggets, which
they laid out for inspection and which
they used to purchase dogs outright
or gave to boot in trades. 1t is prob
able that the settlers turned to their
own advantage the desire of the In
dians, who owned q half-wolf breed,
to possess the white mans dogs. Later

chasers and traders circulate among
the dogs and deal directly with the
owners. Sometimes trades and some
times outright sales are made. There
is much haggling, as each owner tries
to get the better of the deal.
The old proverb that every dog
hath its day" is realized in Fredericks-
burg. The park becomes a yelping,
bowling pandemonium. Unkempt
