form are exquisite. Other typical Irish terriers up 

 to date are Mrs. Butcher's Bawnboy and Ted 

 Malone ; Mr. T. Yarr's Poor Pat ; Mr. F. Parkyn's 

 Firefly; Mr. Jowett's Crowgill Sportsman; Mr. 

 C. B. Murless's Magic; Mr. Krehl's Bishop's Boy; 

 Mr. T. Wallace's Treasurer ; whilst from time to 

 time Mr. James Sumner, Mr. J. W. Taylor, Dr. 

 Marsh, Mr. F. W. Jowett, Mr. H. Benner, Mr. 

 C. R. Norton, Mr. C. M. Nicholson, and Mr. T. C. 

 Tisdall, have all owned Irish terriers of more than 

 ordinary excellence. 



The Irish Terrier Club was established in 1879, 

 and proving unusually liberal in supporting certain 

 shows, has no doubt done much to popularise the 

 variety over which it looks. Its challenge cup is 

 valuable and handsome, which, as already stated, 

 was won outright by Brickbat, but two cups 

 of equal value will shortly be offered by the 

 club. 



Considerable difference of opinion has been ex- 

 pressed as to the description of the Irish terrier as 

 issued by the club, it evidently being modelled on 

 that of the fox terrier. The following, compiled by 

 an "up to date " admirer and successful breeder of 

 the variety, will give an idea of the " points "of an 

 Irish terrier ; at any rate, when assisted by Mr. 

 Wardle's drawings, they will do so.
