This lady - who has occasionally appeared as an exhibitor, her fancy, as far as I remember, being Pugs, of which she has owned some good specimens, rather larger in size than those now most in vogue - will be better known as ably filling the by no means easy post of presiding over the Committee of the Ladies' Kennel Association, which has become such a large and influential body.

LADY REID.

By permission of the Ladies' Kennel Journal.

We all know how much rests with two leading officials of any Committee or Board, the Chairman, or Chairwoman, as the case may be, and the Secretary, and although Lady Reid has had the cooperation of a number of ladies of ability and experience in the details relating to dogs and doggy affairs, it says much for her tact, courtesy, and capacity for business, often of a difficult and complicated character, that she has been able to direct and assist in carrying out so many successful shows and other undertakings held under the auspices of the Ladies' Kennel Association.

All who have seen her ladyship at any of the above-named affairs will know the zeal and energy she throws into her work, and that she is not content to allow her name and influence to be used, and remain a mere figure-head of the Committee, but is up and about, here, there, and everywhere, taking the keenest interest in all that is going on, and showing herself to be a "live Chairwoman." I have no doubt her colleagues would confirm my opinion that a good deal of the credit for the amount of work accomplished since the Association was founded some years since is due to this lady's valuable services.

I have much pleasure in giving a capital portrait of Lady Reid herewith, and' including her ladyship in my little gallery of Doggy People, by whom she is so much appreciated.
