To the Editor of the "Nonri-Cuixa Darcy News"
Sin—With reference to the "Comic Dog Show" which is to be held on Sunday, next, may I be permitted 10 make "a suggestion through your columns to the sponsors?
I wish to enter my dogs and have many friends who desire to do likewise, but fortunately our dogs are. of freaks, neither have they the longest tails, ete, etc. They are just good thoroughbreds, but both they and I desire to help'the funds of the i/SSPca, In England and Ireland these shows fare frequently held in the cause of charity, and with the sanction of the Kennel Club, but several classes for thoroughbreds are usually included.
Could not the sponsors of Shanghhai's Comic Dog Show obtain permission from the China Kennel Club to likewise?
If they fail 10 do so, they are overlooking a good source of revenue, as believe I'am correct in stating that there are far more thoroughbreds kept as pets in" Shanghai than works.
To prevent acid comments trom} owners of "just dogs," T hasten to add that there is in this suggestion no desire to steal the thunder of the wonks—let them have their day by all' means, and give them the majority of the classes, but just let the dogs who know their ancestors get a nose in.
Shanghai, Nov. 10,
