The present exhibition is the largest and most complete display of high bred felines ever exhibited In this country. There are 236 cat crowded on th benches, every available bit of room being taken up. The honor of being the best long haired neuter silver cat of tha show fell to the Duke of Southampton, owned by Mrs. F. i.lewellyn ClnUon of the Hotel An-sonia.

Mrs. Clafton sala yesterday that the Duk was worth Sl.UUO. but she 1 v.ouldn't part with the prize winner for twice that sum. The cat came from the estate of the Duke of Devonshire In England and la six years old. The Duke is In a cage decorated with smllax and orchids and reclines lazily on pillows of royal purple satin and appears to be perfectly satisfied and comfortable.

White i Ghost has scared more than one sailor at nBVy vard late at night by his not trlous wanderings. All the lack call the cat "Hpooky" for they can hira loo yards away on the darkest niRht. Another unusual cat is LMXie a cream colored neuter who has played more one night stands than any cat In the country. Dixie belongs to a well-known actress and is known In the hotel lobbies in many cities, for Dixie always goea on the road with Its owner. The Blde-a-wee Home has an unusual waif on exhibition called Blde-a-wee, a pansy-faced kitten that was picked up on the streets.

Conn. There are nine valuable Australia benched this year, the largest number ever brought together at a show-here. There are also several handsome Manx cats, some of them recently Im ported. Sixteen champions, whose reputations wer established at previous shows, hold a place of honor on- the bench.
