 Mr. Seton's Dachs, Rev. G. F. Lovell's Satan and Mouse, and the 

 Karl of Onslow's Waldmann. Birmingham gave a separate class in 



1873, tne winners being Mr. Fisher's Feldmann ist, and the Hon. 

 Gerald Lascelles' Schnaps 2nd ; this was a good class of fifteen 

 entries, and they were judged by the late Mr. Lort. 



At the Kennel Club Show, held at the Crystal Palace in June, 



1874, two classes were given, " Red " and " Other than red," and 

 separate divisions were given during the year at Pomona Gardens, 

 Manchester, at Nottingham, and at Belle Vue Gardens, Man-

At the Kennel Club Show at the Crystal Palace in June, 1875, 

 Prince Albert Solms judged the dachshunds and the classes were 

 divided into " Black and tan " and " Other than black and tan," 

 and there were thirty entries in the two. In the first named 

 class H.R.H. the Prince of Wales won first with Deurstich, a dog 

 five years old, bred at Sandringham, and the dam of Marguerite, 

 the second prize winner, was bred by Her Majesty the Queen. In 

 the second class, the Duke of Hamilton won with Badger, a nice 

 red puppy eleven months old, bred by himself, and the Rev. G. F. 

 Lovell was second with Pixie, a red bitch imported from Hanover. 

 Pixie was very houndy in head, compared with the dachshunds 

 then being shown, was smaller in size, with a beautiful arched 

 loin. At Nottingham Mr. Hutton's Festus won first and also first 

 at Birmingham, when he beat Slap, the 1874 winner. Festus won 

 a large number of prizes, he was a very good bodied dog, but was 

 short in ear. 



In 1876, more dachshunds were exhibited with the decidedly 

 pronounced hound type of head than had been previously shown ; 

 these included Xaverl, a most beautiful stamp of dachshund, full of 

 quality, particularly good in loin, imported from the Royal 

 Kennels, near Stuttgart. Most of our best dachshunds go back
