This is a young lady who, though at present residing at Belvidere, New Jersey, U.S.A., is of Scottish descent, being connected with the well-known families of Kennedy, Stewart, Clyde, and Maxwell, of Argyllshire, N.B. '

She has from childhood been a keen lover of dogs, and takes delight in their company and studying their many interesting ways. Amongst the varieties she has kept have been Cocker Spaniels, Rough Collies, and Yorkshire Terriers; but although a visitor at all the shows within her reach, she has done little as yet in the way of exhibiting, but keeps herself up to date in all matters relating to dogs.

I am pleased to be able to give an excellent portrait with this slight sketch of a young lady living far away from most of the persons mentioned in these pages, but who takes a lively interest in Doggy People, and may well be included amongst them, also a capital picture of her Spaniel The Black Prince, her favourite and constant companion.

MISS MARY SHERRERD CLARK.
