286 Modern Dogs. 



Newcomen, Kirkleatham ; Mr. W. Dorchester, 

 Reading; Mr. Slater, Carlisle; Mr. J. Finchett, 

 Wales ; and Mr. Coupland at one time or another 

 were working in the dog's interests. Following

 Mr. G. A. B. Leatham, of Tadcaster, Yorkshire; 

 Mr. J. Flinn, Portobello ; and Dr. Hadden, Melrose.

 specimens, and for a time the Earl of Antrim was a 

 most enthusiastic admirer of the variety. He tried
