Society was well represented on June 3 and 
4, when the tenth annual exhibition of the 
Ladies’ Kennel Association of America was held 
on the Fair Ground at Mineola, L. I., it being 
the first open air dog show held in Long Island 
this season. 
All sizes—all classes of dogs, from the tiny 
Pomeranian and Pekinese to the giant St. Ber¬ 
nards and plain “hounds”—met on one common 
ground, each one voicing his anticipation of 
coming honors in his own particular language. 
A notable victory was scored by Mrs. Roy 
A. Rainey with Endcliffe Snowman. He was 
shown in the class for West Highland white ter¬ 
riers, and in capturing the blue for the class de¬ 
feated some of the best terriers in the country. 
Mrs. Frank T. Clarke’s collection of Pomeranians 
landed the lion’s share of ribbons, being vic¬ 
torious in both classes for dogs and bitches. 
In the variety classes and unclassified spe¬ 
cials, Mrs. Tyler Morse’s old Enelish sheep dogs 
divided the honors with the Red Brook kennel’s 
French poodles. The President’s cup was pre¬ 
sented by Miss Anna Sands to a poodle belong¬ 
ing to the Red Brook Kennels. The Vice-Pres - 
dent’s cup went to Mrs. Tyler Alorse’s cham¬ 
pion Slumber for the best of the opposite sex 
to the winner of the President’s cup. 
Mrs. R. F. Mayhew’s Fox Plills McDuff 
retained his fame of having never been beaten 
in his class, either here or abroad, by capturing 
j. G. Sherman’s Shetland sheep dog.

spaniels.

by pointers, English setters, Irish setters, beagles, 
spaniels, etc.

trevon Rattler won first honors. Bitches honors

American Kennel Club. 
A SPECIAL meeting of the American Kennel 
Club will be held at its offices, i Liberty street. 
New York city, on June 18, at 3 o’clock, to con¬ 
sider a proposed amendment to Rule V., which 
makes only American bred dogs eligible to 
compete in the novice classes. This was origi¬ 
nally intended to protect American dogs from 
competition with English champions, which might 
step in and win a novice class. The amendment 
proposes that the novice classes shall be open 
to dogs bred in the Lhi'ted States, Canada, 
Mexico or Cuba. The entry blanks must state 
the name of the breeder and the place of birth. 
POSSIBLE NEW CAAIPER’S FOOD. 
An American breakfast-food manufacturer is 
in Hawaii investigating the taro plant with the 
view of putting on the market a new food pro¬ 
duct made therefrom. Taro is a popular name 
for Colocasia antiquorum, and especially for its 
variety esculentum, a tropical plant, grown in 
the islands of the Pacific, where it forms a 
principal food. Its starchy, stemlike tuberous 
root is now boiled or baked, made into bread 
or into poi, a fermented product. The young 
leaves and tender leaf stalks are used, respec¬ 
tively, like spinach and asparagus. 
Cassava, or mandioc, another starchy tuber, 
which grows abundantly in tropical America, 
might also prove valuable for conversion into 
breakfast foods. Cassava has long been sold 
in flaked form in India. 
Bananas and plantains are also now flaked 
and crisped, samples of toasted plantain flakes 
from the Dominican Republic being among the 
exhibits at the Bureau of Manufactures in 
Washington.

Gentlemen—Answering your letter of May 31, wc 
would say that certainly it is to our interest to sell 
all the (Tarnation Milk possible, and that without 
any regard whatever to our friends in the advertis¬ 
ing business. We are glad that the Pacific Coast 
Condensed Milk Co. has an appropriation for 
advertising in publications such as yours, as we 
believe this will open up practically a new field for 
the milk. Yours truly, Cartan & Jeffrey Co.
