"Every oTog has his day," and Wednesday, November 34th, was the day of the dogs of the Ladies' -Kennel Association. Nearly 1000 (300" more than last year) were on show ,atj the Horticultural Hall, Westminster: It was a members' : show only, and wa3 noteworthy . for the fact that Queen Alexandra, departed from,her usual custom of not competing at members' shows by entering three basset hounds—Sandringham Valour, Sandringham Nero, and Sandringham Vulcan—and a Ohow, Sandringham Chum, which took second. '■•(''■ The champion Pekinese, Chu-Eth - of Aldorbourne, ' to Mrs C. Ashton Cross, was perhaps the most luxuriously, caged beast.

He wias quite .indifferent > to the fact that £SOOO was" named as frig price. Near him lay Mrs C. L. Jervjs's Bromp+rm Nai Nai, which, having had the distinction to be bred by Mr I. Pierpont Morgan, was buried in electric blue hangings and flowered cushions.
