The Irish Setter. 359 



One of the handsomest Irish setters following 

 immediately after Dr. Stone's Dash was Mr. 

 Milliard's Count, a most typical specimen, lovely 

 in colour, which was not too dark, but just dark 

 enough. Then there was Mr. Giltrap's Garryowen, 

 who, in his day, had been considered almost 

 invincible. Mr. Cecil Moore's Old Kate, who did a 

 considerable amount of winning between 1878 and 

 1882, when she was the property of Mr. Abbot and 

 others, was certainly one of the best bitches I ever 

 saw, and Mr. Milliard's Palmerston, an immense 

 dog, 64-lb. in weight, and with an abnormally long 

 and narrow head, monopolised the leading prizes at 

 most of the best shows about this date. 



Although such men as Mr. Milliard, of Dublin ; 

 Mr. Waterhouse, Killiney ; Mr. Giltrap, Dublin ; 

 Captain Milner, Booterstown, Dublin ; Mr. McGoff, 

 Tralee ; Mr. L. F. Perrin, Kingstown; Mr. J. G. 

 Hawkes, Kenmare ; Mrs. Grattan Bellew, Ennis- 

 kerry ; Mr. JE. Falkiner Nuttall, of co. Sligo ; and 

 other Irish families have latterly done much to give 

 the variety its present popularity, more has been 

 done in a similar manner by breeders this side the 

 water, for the Rev. R. O'Callaghan, R.N., Wickham 

 Market ; Mr. C. C. Ellis, Suffolk ; Mr. H. M. Wilson, 

 Holmes Chapel, Cheshire; Mr. W. H. Cooper, 

 Ashbourne ; Mr. A. Taylor, B.A., Beaminster,
