Captain Milner has been very successful with 

 his dogs, both on the bench and in the field ; his 

 Frisco, who died so recently as November, 1892, 

 was certainly one of the crack dogs of the day, 

 as his red puppy Airnie was one of the best 

 youngsters of the Trial season during 1892. She 

 won first honours at the Kennel Club, at the 

 National trials, and at the Irish trials, and could not

 and although she could go fast enough when so
