WINTER'S RETURN SURPRISES NEW YORK AND
FIRST ICE CARNIVAL ATTRACTS 25,000 PEOPLE
Many Valuable Pets Are Exhibited in Forty-first Annual Westminster Kennel Club Value of $300,000 Placed

NEW YORK, March 2. (Special.)
The second heaviest snow storm
of the "Winter occurred this past
week, and was a surprise to the Inhab
itants of Manhattan, even to those who
had retired late, for at long: after mid
night, there was not a sign of snow,
.but at daybreak over three inches had
fallen. So far the snowfall for the sea
son is much below the average.
New York bad its first ice carnival
en Saturday of last week, when fully
25.000 persons watched the Winter
sports, on the frozen waters of Van
Cortlandt Park Lake. There were ex
hibitions of fancy skating:. hockey
matches between some of the best
teams of this country, speed races, as
well as general publio skating-. The po
lice who took care of the enormous
crowds were, for the most part, on
skates. ' At nlg:ht, big: bonfires were
built along: the shores, and myriads of
Japanese lanterns were used for the
Illumination.
The crowd appeared to be most inter
acted in the fancy skating-, by experts.
Statistics given by the Weather Bu
reau prove that up to date there have
been 86 days of skating on Van Cort
landt Lake, which is equivalent to the
sum total of last year, and as the ice
is still 15 inchas thick, the prospect Is
for many more days of the exhilarating
sport, for the enthusiasts (and their
name is legion) In this section oi the
country.
The 41st annual Westminster Kennel
Club dog show was held at Madison
Square Garden last week, when there
were 1888 thoroughbreds of a value ex
ceeding 1300.000 on the benches. The
exhibit, roost valuable in a financial
way, was a wire-haired fox terrier,
owned by Mrs. r.oy A. Rainey, with a
tentative valuation of $10,000, although
the owner would not sell this dog. Mat-
ford Vic for more than that amount.
Amonx the well-known exhibitors
were Anthony J. Drexel, Jr., Mrs. Payne
Whitney. Oliver Harrlman, C. Oliver
Iselin, Walter Lewisohn, Willard D,
Straight and Henry Carnegie Phipps.
Society showed an unusually great
amount of interest, and the hall was
crowded on all the days of the exhibit.
In fact, on Washington's birthday, the
crowd was the greatest that has ever
attended a dog show in this country.
Filax, of Leewanna, a German sheep
dog, owned by Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Wan
ner, of Hempstead, Long Island, was
the center of interest as well as the
hero of the show. This dog has ben
engaged in Red Cross work in the
French trenches, where he is credited
with having saved the lives of more
than 100 soldiers. Filax, who is four
years old. has been regularly trained
In police, sentry and Red Cross work.
He is on leave of absence now, and in
four months will be returned-to duty
la the battle areas of France.
was the finest-boned dog ever ex
hibited. So far he has won three red
ribbons, only missing the blue ones
because he has a snub nose, Instead of
a long snout.
The tenants of Madison-Square Gar
den, many of whom have been there
for nearly a quarter of a century, must
vacate the premises, as the new owner,
Paris E. Singer, will have the entire
structure remodeled, with a probable
addition of 12 to 15 stories.
One of the most interesting tenants,
who is forced by this order to seek
other quarters, is Peter Cooper Hew
itt, a grandson of the well-known old
New Yorker, Peter Cooper. Mr, Hewitt
is an inventor and scientist and has
occupied the top floors of the Madi
son-Square tower as a laboratory for
a great number of years.
T
Vincent Astor is planning the ereo-
tlon of an apartment-house for the ex
clusive use or bachelor girls and
maiden women. It is to be situated in
the Washington-Square district, and,
while prices are to be nominal, every
thing else will measure up to the high
standards of the other Astor apartment
buildings.
.
The Salmagundi Club, one of the
most interesting clubs of this city, has
finally, after a three years' search,
purchased a house at 47 Fifth avenue
for its permanent home. Previously,
the members have had to content them
selves with inadequate -quarters at 14
West Twelfth street.. Montague Glass,
one of the members, has donated the
proceeds of a story he will write to
the purchasing fund and 89 artist mem
bers have agreed to paint a picture
each, to be sold, and the proceeds to
be applied to the same purpose.

General, in this city, is vice-president
of the organization, which Is for mu
tual sociability and benefit.

Castle there are many pedestals minus
