desire. Bessie used to beat him for the specials for best in the show, but 

 after the little dog had matured he was hard to beat. In front of him at 

 New York in 1890 was a very smart young imported dog, Tim, by the En- 

 glish dog Max, but he died the same year. As the pedigree of Bob Ivy 

 covers the ground very fully for most of the pedigrees of dogs of that time we 

 give it in full.

Pugs went on the down grade after 1890 and with the arrival of new 

 attractions in the way of toy dogs, such as Pomeranians and the pushing of 

 Japanese and English spaniels to the front, they became fewer by degrees 

 and beautifully less until we have now to rely almost entirely upon one ex- 

 hibitor, the well known Al. Eberhardt, of Camp Dennison, O. It looked 

 at one time as if there might be a turn for the better, that being when Mrs. 

 Howard Gould was showing a few black pugs, but they did not catch on as 

 they should have and it is Eberhardt's pugs or a blank at nearly all the 

 shows for the past year or two. 



There is no reason why this breed should be neglected in this way. 

 Compare the pug with any of the popular fancies and it will stand the test. 

 Tastes differ, but to our mind the character and beauty of wrinkle in the 

 head of such a dog as Ding Dong is far ahead of the abnormally deve- 

 loped Japanese spaniel, for instance. Look at the care called for by these
