THE SMOOTH-COATED FOX TERRIER. 391 



themselves or any very remarkable Terriers on this side of 

 the water. Mr. Thayer later added Mixture, Belgrave, 

 Primrose, Reckoner, and Richmond Dazzle to his kennels, 

 arid a large draft from Mr. Fred Hoey's kennels. With 

 this additional blood, Mr. Thayer is bringing out very cred- 

 itable youngsters. 



Mr. Fred Hoey, whose kennels are at Hollywood, Long 

 Branch, N. J., one of our good judges and a keen and 

 intelligent breeder, has been very successful with a smaller 

 kennel than those above named. From Lurette, a sister 

 of Spice and Olive II., the dam of New Forest, he bred 

 a lovely bitch Mace II. to Brockenhurst Joe, which 

 unfortunately died of distemper after the Boston show of 

 1886. Most of his Terriers have come from Mr. Vicary's 

 kennels, including his famous Valet, his sire, Venetian, and 

 some recent importations of the strains closely related to 

 Vesuvienne's blood. 



Mr. Edward Kelly, of New York, the founder of our 

 Fox Terrier Club, and a liberal importer of many good Ter- 

 riers of the Belvoir strains, has done much for our Ameri- 

 can Fox Terrier family. Of recent years, he has not been 

 as active, owing to business cares absorbing his leisure. 

 The debt American breeders owe him must nevertheless not 

 be forgotten. 



Mr. Clarence Rathbone, of Albany, must be counted as 

 one of the faithful of the faithful. His Beverwyck Kennels, 

 at Albany, N. Y., contain representatives of every known 

 strain; and in the hands of so enthusiastic and tireless a 

 breeder a vast amount of good work is being done, which 

 should surely one of these days be crowned with the breed- 

 ing of some clinkers. 



With my own, the Blemton Kennels, ends the list of our 

 kennels of importance up to within two years. Since then, 

 enthusiastic breeders have started kennels, of which much 

 will be heard in the near future. 



Mr. R. S. Ryan, of Baltimore, has drawn both from our 

 best home kennels and also somewhat from abroad, to 

 found his Linden Kennels.
