 Procter, Mr. F. J. Astbury, Mr. W. H. Rothwell, 

 &c. In the United States of America, Mr. A. 

 Belmont, jun., has not only got together a fine 

 kennel, but in addition he imported a clever English 

 manager, German Hopkins, to look after its 

 inmates. Australia and New Zealand have proved 

 themselves thoroughly English by their importations 

 of fox terriers, and in due course we may expect to 

 find these colonies throwing down the gauntlet to 

 the old country in friendly rivalry on the show bench, 

 as they have done with such success in the cricket 

 field and on the water. Some of our French and 

 German friends have also taken kindly to the little 

 dog, and at many of the continental shows speci- 

 mens of more than average merit are continually 

 met with. 



The following are the description and scale of 

 points drawn up by the Fox Terrier Club, which was 

 established in 1876, and there are several other 

 minor clubs which adopt the same.
