Greyhounds of the Desert
The greyhound is to have a new rival, the saluki. This canine aristocrat, whose ancestry has been traced back to the time of the Pharaohs, has already been tried out on a dog track, and regular saluki racing is now in prospect. So far as speed is concerned. the saluki is not quite up to greyhound standard, but it is a better “hurdler” than the other racing dog. in appearance, the saluki is not unlike a greyhound; indeed, the saluki has been called the “greyhound of the desert.” Even before its possibilities as a racer were recognised, it Lad become a fashionable pct among socictv women.
