have put into the ring from twenty-five to thirty dogs of 

 all ages, any one of them well worthy of a first prize. 

 Time after time, too, they sold some of their favourites, 

 and usually appeared to have better to take their places. 

 Brockenhurst Rally, after doing yeoman's service both in 

 the prize ring and at stud, died in the summer of 1889^ 

 leaving a character behind him without a flaw. Result 

 remained with them, a black-headed dog of extraordinary 

 formation throughout. Some lylb. in weight, though 

 modelled like a little cart horse he was full of quality, 

 the punishing power of his jaw was extraordinary, and his 

 head was of great length and extra good in shape ; his 

 eyes were piercingly bright and expressive, though his 

 dark markings were sadly against a smart appearance, 

 which ,a white blaze down the face would have improved

 were his feet, and legs, and coat. The hypercritical

 Up to the time Result retired from the show bench, his 

 last appearance being at the Fox Terrier Club's show in 

 1888, when he won the challenge cup, he retained all his 

 leading characteristics, though for some few months before 

 his death, which occurred on the last day of the year 1894, 

 he had been quite blind. This good dog was beaten only 

 on three occasions, twice by Messrs. Vicary's Vesuvienne, a 

 portrait of whom appears on another page in addition to a 

 short history of her, and once by his own daughter Rachel. 

 However, he survived long enough to turn the tables on 

 both his opponents. Altogether he won the fifty-guinea 

 challenge cup on eleven occasions, and Result in his day
