British Dogs. 



I have owned and worked many pointers, but none better than Eomp, 

 Special, and Stella, above referred to. 



The engravings given are from sketches taken by that successful 

 artist, Mr. Arthur Baker, and I am pleased to vouch for the faithfulness 

 of the likenesses he has produced. 



The following measurements, very carefully taken, are of two cele- 

 brated prize winners. It will be seen that there is very little difference 

 between the two dogs. They are both magnificent animals. Wagg took 

 the cup as best pointer in the show at Birmingham, and Don has once 

 beaten Wagg under the same judge.
