 Hunton Bridegroom were the best of these. 



It may be well to mention here that Mr. Burbidge's 

 terriers were, consequent on the death of that good 

 sportsman once the captain of the Surrey team of 

 cricketers, sold by auction at the Agricultural Hall, 

 Islington, in the early spring of 1893, when r 3i lots, 

 including puppies, realised ^1807 6s. 6d., an 

 average of a trifle over ^13 i6s. The best prices 

 were for Hunton Justice, 80 guineas ; Hunton 

 Tartar, 135 guineas; Hunton Brisk, 70 guineas; 

 Scramble, 65 guineas, and 70 guineas for the puppy 

 Hunton Squeeze. This was the greatest sale of 

 fox terriers by auction that has yet taken place, and 

 must be considered quite successful. 



Mr. F. Redmond, St. John's Wood, has been 

 particularly successful up to date with his terriers, 

 and D'Orsay, already alluded to, must have proved 

 quite a little gold mine to his owner. Mr. L. P. C. 

 Astley, Mr. G. Raper, Mr. Jordison, Thirsk, Mr. E. 

 Powell, jun., appear at the time I write to have 

 more than useful strains.

 winners Mr. J. A. Doyle, of Crickhowel, to wit ;
