The Fox Terrier. 



These measurements of four of our best modern terriers 

 compare very favourably with those of a dozen or so years 

 ago, and especially so far as the heads are concerned. As 

 to Result, his owner tells me that the length of the head is 

 actually yjin., but in the two measurements he comes out 

 8in., through taking the tape from eye to occiput across 

 the skull, which is 5in. ; length of nose, 3m. Mr. Sandell, 

 when he compiled his figures, did not include any bitches, 

 so, her sex taken into consideration, Vesuvienne comes out 

 even better, and, when I state that the measurements 

 of Venio were taken when he was six years old, and 

 that he is the heaviest terrier of the batch, his figures are 

 also excellent. Lyons Sting likewise comes out of the 

 ordeal of figures satisfactorily, and I am sure that all 

 admirers of the fox terrier will, as I do, thank Messrs. 

 Clarke, Mr. Vicary, and Mr. F. S. H. Dyer-Bennet for the 

 trouble they have taken in obtaining the measurements.
