COLLIE FROM ROYAL KENNAL RIDES PONY

Animal Sent to Gentry Brothers Famous Shows is Now An Equestrian Dog. With Gentry Brothers shows, which will visit this city Thursday, the only collie dog ever seen in this section that was bred in royal kennels, will be seen. This beautiful dog was once the property of the Duke of Cornwall. He is now a performing animal. He is the only dog that rides a pony like a high class artist rides the big white Norman horses so common in the circus world. i “Collie”, which is the dog’s name, was sent as a present to Gentry Brothers when their agent was in England three years ago. The agent found time to train four of the dogs from the royal kennels. In return he was given three of the royal collies. One is in New York, another died at sea, and the third aristocratic canine is a rider with Gentry Brothers this season. The Gentry Brothers shows you knew in childhood are as much an epoch in the lives of the children of today as they were in your life a decade or more ago. Gentry Brothers shows will give two performances in this city tomorrow, Thursday, Sept. 2nd.
