Perhaps during the past two or three years no one has 

 been more successful as an exhibitor of fox terriers than 

 Mr. Francis Redmond, of St. John's Wood. Still I must 

 confess an inability to appreciate some of his dogs, and in 

 type he has been quite inconsistent, the latter perhaps 

 because some of his most valuable dogs have come into

 rabbit, he fell over a cliff, breaking one leg and in other 

 respects injuring himself so much that it is likely his 

 show career is ended. I am correct in stating that Mr. 

 Redmond has refused a bona fide offer of 5oo/. for his
