beat Tarn Glen in the class for rough-haired terriers. This brace did good 

 service for Mr. Naylor, but of course they were not quite up to modern 

 show form, though good little dogs and typical. 



From a class for rough-haired terriers, the New York classification 

 advanced to Scotch and hard-haired terriers, and in that class as late as 

 1886 Mr. Prescott Lawrence showed two Airedales, the only entries. In 

 1888 a class for Scotch failed to secure an entry. In 1890 three entries 

 were made, "Scotch" Bailey showing the winner in Meadowthorpe 

 Donald, with Mr. Naylor's latest importation, Rosie, in second place. 

 So far the fancy had dragged along, but now the Toon and Symonds com- 

 bination took up the importation of terriers and Kilstor was shown by 

 them in 1891, taking first at New York and five other shows. For 1892 the 

 same firm had Scotch Hot for first at New York, defeating Kilstor, next to 

 whom came Glenelg, shown by Mr. T. H. Garlick, of Philadelphia, who 

 still keeps in touch with the breed and frequently officiates in the distribu- 

 tion of awards, though he is more of a wire-haired terrier man now. 



With 1892 came the boom in the breed, and the Wankie Kennels, which 

 was the exhibiting name of the Messrs. Brooks and Ames, began a most 

 successful career. In the kennel were such good dogs as Kilroy, Kilcree, 

 Culbleau and others, and at New York in 1893 all three first prizes went 

 to the Wankie Kennels, the classification being a mixed challenge class 

 and two open classes. Toon and Symonds then got Tiree and Rhudu- 

 man and it was not long before the Wankie Kennels concluded to purchase 

 the pair. Tiree was a grand little dog, and we are under the impression 

 that he won a special for the best in the show at Philadelphia in 1893, 

 though the catalogue has no mention of such a special. 



The year 1895 at New York marked a high record for the breed, when 

 no fewer than thirty-nine Scottish terriers were shown. Two American 

 bred classes, the first for any breed, if we mistake not, since the old times 

 of "native" setters. In these classes fourteen of the fifteen were duplicate 

 entries and two puppies were also duplicates, raising the total entry to 

 fifty-five. Of the thirty-nine dogs, sixteen were from the Brooks-Ames 

 kennel and seven from the Newcastle Kennels of Mr. J. L. Little, and these 

 exhibitors took fifteen of the nineteen prizes awarded, Mr. Little's modest 

 share being a first and a third in open dogs, his first prize winner being 

 Bellingham Bailiff, quite a successful dog in his day. 



The natural result followed this one-sided distribution of the prize
