DOG DEPARTMENT. 



The large number of Toy Dogs in this city and vicinity, the attractiveness 

 of an exhibition of these pets, and the large interest that such an 'exhibition 

 arouses, have induced the management to add this department to the coming 

 show. The large hall over the entrance will be used for the Dogs," Cats and 

 miscellaneous pets, and special efforts will be made to bring together the best 

 collection of these animals that has ever been seen in this city. 



ThiA department will be particularly attractive to ladies and children, and 

 coming, as it does, just previous to the Holidays, a large attendance is 

 expected.
