"The complimentary resolution adopted by the Common Council at the close of the year to Hon. Ripley Ropes has been engrossed by W. V. Peacon, of this city, and is now on exhibition in the Common Council Chamber. It will be exhibited later in the show windows of McNeuman's store, 413 Fulton street. The work stands in its frame four and a half feet by three feet. The frame is ebony and gold, engraved and gilded."
"Admirers of the dog will be given an opportunity to see the best specimens in the land at the 28th annual bench show of the Westminster Kennel Club, which takes place at Madison Square Garden on February 10, 11, 12 and 13. The entries this year are far ahead of all former records, and include the best in America and many of the English champions which have been entered."
"Much as the people of the United States may approve of regarding this country as an asylum of political offenders and fugitives, they have to recognize the matter to be one of law. In the first instance it comes for decision before the Secretary of Commerce and Labor. From him appeal lies to the United States Court, by which it must be determined. This in a nutshell is the case of [Cipriano] Castro, the ex-President of Venezuela."
An ornate complimentary resolution to Hon. Ripley Ropes was engrossed by W. V. Peacon and displayed in the Common Council Chamber and later in McNeuman's show windows, framed in ebony and gold and measuring four and a half by three feet. The testimonial was described as the handsomest ever engrossed for the Common Council, and Peacon prepared a piece for the Centennial Exhibition. The Westminster Kennel Club held its 28th annual bench show at Madison Square Garden in February 1904 with record entries, including top American and English champions. Secretary Nagel ordered deportation of ex‑President [Cipriano] Castro after declaring his refusal to answer questions about an assassination to be prima facie evidence of guilt, with appeal to the United States Court.
