upon actual experience with 1t when
he was stationed at Lorton during
the riots Of 1882 He learned then
that these dogs were intelligent, obedi-
ent and very affectionate. They may
be used for hunting wild game as
well as wild men. So, when he got
ready to buy dog for his 4-year -old
son and baby daughter, he got q
bloodhound. He calls her the Merry
Duchess Of Lorton. and most inter-

though only az months old she has
an ear spread from tip to tip of more
than 20 inches. Her framework is
about the size of a 4-year-old Ger

enough to hold young elephant
When Stewart picks her up by the
loose skin of her back she resembles
queer suitcase with a pup rafting
around somewhere in the bottom of
it. She has big, puppyish feet vaguely
reminiscent of Charlie Chaplin's, and
that deep, sad look of cosmic weari-

When the questioner. who merely was

tried to call her attention to the great
difference In type, she promptly was
put IN her place with the haughtily
uttered remark, This is of the English

1t remains to be seen whether this
new exhibitor will retire into q shell
from which she will emerge only long
enough to tell the world that all dog
breeders are crazy and that she has
the only Dandie Dinmont in captivity,
or whether she will take cognizance
OF the fact that she still has some
thing to learn about dogs, and will
pitch in and learn it. If she takes the
latter course, she may develop into as
rabid a dog show fan as any now
extant. But to hazard 4 guess based
on the kind Of dog she was showing
and Of which she was obviously very
fond. she will not be Dandie DIM

breeds Of dogs which originated in

tries. notably the German shepherd,
which is known as the Alsatian In
British countries.
At present 1t is actively engaged in
sponsoring two American breeds, the
Chesapeake retriever, which is very
popular with English sportsmen. and
the Boston terrier, whose popularity
there is being fostered by q group Of
well-knoWn women breeders. On sew

visited this country to purchase breed
