breed is well supplied with clubs, and the latest educa- 

 tional movement of the South of England A.T.C., in 

 establishing the London and District branch, is a huge 

 success. Match nights are always largely attended. The 

 novice and the beginner has many object lessons brought 

 before him at these gatherings, so that they are of 

 incalculable benefit. They have been time and again 

 exclusively catered for by shows being organised on strict 

 novice lines. The value of this sort of show cannot be- 

 overestimated, and, in this respect, the lines of latter-day 

 fanciers are indeed cast in pleasant places. Vigilant care 

 should be bestowed on coat and contour, combined with 

 size and quality. I must strenuously impress upon 

 breeders to stick to the black back and golden tan, which 

 in combination is so charming, and also quite character- 

 istic of the breed. In conclusion, I have a profound 

 conviction that the Airedale has come to stay.
