When tiie Duke of Manchester sailed for
England he left behind two terriors tiiat
he had intended to take with him.
"The reason he did not carry them
with him," said a friend of the dogs'
former owner, "was that lie had not
paid for them. Mr. Kelly, of Boston,
who is a friend of mine, sold the ter
riers to the Duke last year. Manches
ter promised to pay $1500 for the pair.
He did not pay. So, when Kelly heard
the duke was to said, he came to New
York. But when he went to the hotel
the duke was 'not at home.' Ho v. ever,
Kelly took his lawyer to the hotel and
lay in wait for the duke. He found him
in the lobby. The Duke said he had not
the money. His father-in-law, when
asked to pay the bill, refused to do so.
So the duke had to let Kelly take the
