To the Editor of the "Norta-Cama Datty News."
Smr,—In view of the fact that there are so many more or less valuable thoroughbred dogs Shanghai, and I believe the number is fairly considerable, would it not be an excellent scheme to hold dog shows occasionally, say once a year. There is little doubt but that ample support would be afforded a Kennel Club of some sort and with the creation of such an institution dog-lovers would feel a greater incentive to take a personal interest in their pets. Such a movement would also popularize thoroughbred dogs, and good animals would be kept under better control and discipline by their owners than the vicious and disease-ridden mongrels that preponderate in foreign households at present.
I am, ete., Shanghai, June 28.
