GEORGE KELLY, % East 17th Street, SAUSAGE TERRIERS FINE DOGS FOR LABOR. Brooklyn, April 1. To the Editor of The Evening World: T have read with a great deal of interest your recent ‘tems covering the subject of curious d&gs and the deplorable lack of public knowledge regarding some of them, To any one who has lived in the tropics or worked on a banana boat the “banana hound” ceases to be @ curiosity; it becomes an industrial necossity, But to my mind one of the most valuable and quaint species of un- usual canine fs the “Australian sau- sage terrier.” This name may be taken by frivolous minded persons to indicate that this dog is made into @ausages, but sausage not the case. It te used in the manufacture of frankfurters, but not as an ingredient unless by accident.
