A Remarkably Intelligent Dog. 



BY MISS KATIIERINE CABOT, STAMFORD, 

 CONNECTICUT. 



"Beau Brummel" is a thoroughbred 

 Scotch Collie, of the most distinguish- 

 ed ancestry; his pedigree going back, 

 in an unbroken line, for many genera- 

 tions. When six weeks old, he was 

 purchased at "The City Park Collie 

 Kennels," and brought home in state, 

 enthroned on his owner's muff. His 

 color is sable and white; with a Titian 

 tint, which gives his coat the ideal 

 shade. 



He is the embodiment of intelligence 

 and gentleness, with an expression 

 that is tender and true. Chesterheld- 

 ian in his manner; "Beau Brummel" 

 offers a dignified greeting to his num- 

 erous acquaintances, but reserves his 

 paw for intimate friends, many of 

 whom return the compliment by call- 

 ing him "Beau the Exquisite." 



A finished education adds to 

 "Beau's" natural charms, for he knows 

 many tricks, such as shaking hands, 

 retrieving, jumping through hoops, 

 writing a letter, speaking in whispers
