Mr. James A. Loggie, of Lerwick, the hard-working secretary of the Shetland Sheepdog Club, is doing his utmost to get classes for the breed scheduled at the forthcoming Kennel Club Show at the Crystal Palace. He has circularized all interested in the breed, and is doing his utmost to achieve his object, so that it is highly probable he will be successful."

McLay, of New York, the winning bitch Inverness Lassie, whose advent in America is bound to promote interest in the breed there."

-----
(BY THE HERALD'S CORRESPONDENT.)
LONDON, Wednesday. - The Kensington Canine Society is to be congratulated on its annual exhibition, which was held at Fulham Baths yesterday, for it was really a capital show.
