The Great Dane. 189 



she was pretty nearly perfect. Windle Princess (Mr. 

 Coop's) is another beautiful bitch, and again not 

 a very big one. Mr. Adcock's Ivanhoe, a very richly 

 coloured brindle dog, has repeatedly and deservedly 

 won prizes at our leading shows. Mr. Wilbey's 

 Hannibal the Great is thought to be the best of his 

 year, an enormous animal of immense power, but 

 perhaps a little heavier and too mastiff-like in 

 head to quite please some of our insular prejudices. 

 He came to this country with a reputation as the 

 best of his race in the land of his birth, which was 

 Germany. This dog unfortunately got strangled in 

 his kennel in August, 1892. Other good dogs are 

 War Cry, Corsica, Harlequin Nero, Bouchan, Sea 

 King, Leal, the Baron of Danes, Norseman, Queen 

 of Saxony, Uric, Windle Princess, Gretchen, Earl 

 of Warwick, and Windle Queen. 



As to the heights and weights of recent winners, 

 the following may, perhaps, not be without interest : 

 Norseman is 33 inches at the shoulders, weight, 

 i55lb. ; Sea King, 32^ inches, weight, i681b. ; Leal, 

 33f inches, weight, i82lb. ; Young Leal, 33^ inches, 

 weight, 154-lb. ; Prince Victor, 33 inches and i5olb. 

 weight; Cedric the Saxon, 33^ inches and i7olb. 

 weight; Baron of Danes, 33^ inches and I55lb. 

 weight; Ivanhoe, 33 inches and i681b. weight; 

 Dorothy, 30^ inches, I25lb. weight; Challymead
