There are few travellers on the Harlem Railroad who have not heard of the educated dog at Scarsdale depol Hrn 01ame is Knapp. He is the property of Mr. George Ullman, the statfon master. Knapp 1s a sbepberd dog, about two feet high, and is covered "1th a dark-brown shaggy coat of fine hair. He was born m the Scotch Highlands nearly four years ago In hIS mfancy, Knapp was imported, at con01derable tron· ble, by a gentleman of Scarsdale, who, bemg suddenly called to Europe ·h ortly after" ard, gave !nm to :Mr Ullman.
