PEKINGESE SHOW.
ORIGIN OF A POPULAR'
FANCY.
The Pekin Palace Dog Associn- tion, which was founded in 1908, and is going on stronger than ever, is to celebrate its twentieth birthday with a show at Rane lagh on June 21, at which Lady Algernon Gordon Lennox, found- er of the association, has con- sented to judge, says the "China Express and Telegraph."
Records are not very definite concerning the size of the dogs that were brought home after the occupation of the Summer Palace in 1860, but the information that has survived leaves no doubt that they were small, Lady Algernon's strain are the descendants of the pair that said, writes Mr. A. Croxton Smith, that five came to England at that time, but I think there must have been more.

saying that
a bitch and five puppies were found behind a box. Lord John Hay took the mother and one of the puppies, and Ad- miral Jones had another, which survived until 1872. This was black and white. Furthermore, two officers of the 99th Foot secured a dog and bitch, 'the lat- ter of which had a litter soon after the regiment returned to Canton. A dog from this litter, brought to England in 1863, lived for nearly seventeen years, and one regrets that he sired but one puppy from another Summer Palace bitch belonging to Captain Claghiles Henderson,
What material we had in the country for preserving the genuine blood if it had only been used more extensively! Then among my papers I find a note
the from
"Ladies' Kennel Journal" of 1896 saying that "the Princess of Wales is charmed with a dear little dog from China, which has just arrived at Sarid- ringham. It was sent to her as a Pekin Pug, but I can't help thinking that must be a mistake, as it is in appearance a spaniel of Jap. type; but instead of being black-and-white it is a sort of brindle and white. It weighs barely 31⁄2 lbs., and is a delight- fully bright-natured little mite."
