214 The Fox Terrier. 



Earlier in the volume I alluded to the custom of one 

 man being at the same time, not of necessity at the 

 same show, both judge and exhibitor. He will judge at 

 one show and exhibit at another. The Fox Terrier Club 

 is an influential body, quite representative and sans 

 reproche, cannot they arrange amongst themselves to have 

 judges who, at any rate for the season, are not exhibitors ? 

 The public would like some such method, for, however 

 much above suspicion a man may be, the unsuccessful 

 exhibitors have grounds for grumbling when they find one 

 day Mr. Smith judging Mr. Jones' dogs and giving them 

 prizes, and another day Mr. Jones judging Mr. Smith's 

 favourites and reciprocating the award of honours. This, 

 I consider, is one of the most unsatisfactory arrangements 

 in connection with the dog show epoch. The present 

 office-bearers are as follows : 



Honorary Secretary and Treasurer, Mr. J. C. Tinne, 

 Bashley Lodge, Lymington, Hants ; who is an ex-officio 

 member of the Committee : the ordinary committee 

 includes Messrs. A. Ashton (Cheshire), J. A. Doyle 

 (Brecon, S. Wales), P. C. Reid (Essex), J. R. Whittle 

 (Middlesex), A. E. Clear (Essex), V. B. Johnston (Stafford- 

 shire), F. Redmond (London), F. S. H. Dyer-Bennet 

 (Stourbridge), F. L. Evelyn (Denbigh), C. W. Wharton 

 (London), S. Castle, jun. (Blackheath), C. H. Clarke 

 (Notts), J. A. Hosker (Bournemouth), T. Keene (London), 

 and R. Vicary (Devonshire). 



The rules of the club, altered and revised November, 

 1894, are as follows : 



i. The name of the Club shall be " THE Fox TERRIER CLUB," 

 its object being to promote the breeding of pure fox terriers; to 

 define precisely and publish a definition of the true type ; and
