NAPLES SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF ANIMALS.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."]
SIR, —I venture once more to beg you to find room in the Spectator for an appeal on behalf of the Naples Society for the Protection of Animals. Last December an attempt was made to assassinate our hon. director, Mr. Leonard T. Hawksley, presumably by cabmen who had been convicted for cruelty to animals. After five months of illness he has resumed the direction of the Society's operations. Of course he is doing so at the risk of his life, as all of ne are who are working for the protection of animals in these parts- We run this risk gladly for the sake of our work, appealing to those who have the means, to give us the necessary pecu- niary aid. Contributions may be sent to the hon. sec., Mise P. H. Johnston, The Beeches, Carlisle; or to the hon. director, Leonard T. Hawksley, 22 Piazza Garibaldi, Naples, —I am, Sir, Sze., E. L. M. (Princess) MELE BARESE,
