a two-year-old, and when I saw her last, was as gay and 

 debonair as a puppy. To Mr. G. H. Elder belongs the 

 absolute credit of making this bitch a champion. 

 There was also Chippenham Daisy, Rex per 

 Saltum - - the latter bred by Mr. Pounds - 

 Clonmel Veracity, who, up to that, was far and
