THE WHIPPET. 



Origin. — On account of it being little else than a small English 

 greyhound, its origin is traced to that breed, by which standard it 

 is judged.

 of speed of about 200 yards. The dogs are run in couples, the 

 waving of a handkerchief or other cloth being the incentive to run. 



Height. — At shoulders about iS inches.
