Ran at Scottish National, March, 1872; divided Biggar Stakes (64 dogs) with kennel 

 companion Avonside. 



Glenavon thus divided three 64-dog stakes in two seasons, ran second 

 for a 32, &c. He never ran except at a first-class meeting, and rarely 

 was entered for anything under a 64-dog stake. He was perfectly honest 

 to the end of his career, always going fast and running stoutly. His 

 cleverness was never questioned. 



In judging the dog from the engraving, it must be remembered that he 

 is not shown in running condition.
