178 The Fox Terrier. 



the brindled mark he has on his head or face. At the last 

 Guildford Show it was hard lines that he was not awarded 

 the special for the best sporting dog in the show, and 

 for the best fox terrier, for he had won in a very good 

 class, and is, in my humble opinion, a much better terrier

 over him. 



Mr. F. Baguley, of Wyck Hill, Gloucester, sometimes 

 brings to the shows wire-haired terriers of character and 

 possessing the right type, his Daylesford Brush being parti-

 likewise made names for themselves, and so have Mr. S. A. 

 Moore's Rustic Marvel, Mr. T. Watson's Pollok Tina, 

 Mr. Mutter's Surrey Janet (now in Canada) ; more than

 Scorcher; and worthy of note are Mr. BeacalPs Sunfield 

 Frost, Mr. Bartle's Scorcher, Sir H. De Trafford's Barton 

 Witch, and Mr. Corner's Rydale Pattern, who went to

 who realised more than five times that sum. Mr. T. 

 Pearse's Wellingboro' Teaser, bred by Mr. Bartle, is 

 also a good dog at the time I write, and so is his Briar 

 Clinker. 



One of the terriers which Mr. E. Welburn introduced

 the kennels of Mrs. Butcher; but his race was soon run, 

 and he was not in the prize list at all at the latest show of the 

 Fox Terrier Club in 1894. Here there was such a collec- 

 tion of wire-haired terriers as had not been seen for 

 many years ; several excellent young dogs made their
