went to Mr. Hoare's kennel, and, after the Kennel Club show, in 

 January, 1883, Maximus went to Mr. Walker's kennel. 



Grafin II. came out at Sheffield, and won in the puppy class, 

 and afterwards many other prizes. She had a nice type of 

 head, her ears were set on well, but were short ; she was remark- 

 ably low, but her feet were long. The writer's Juventa, a long 

 red bitch of the right type and a rare bred one by Zigzag 

 ex Rubina, was second in the bitch puppy class. Mr. South- 

 well's Seidel, a puppy by Malt ex Erdine, was ist, this was a nice 

 quality bitch, but her ears were set on rather high and she 

 was light in bone. Mr. Litt brought out Olympian in the puppy 

 class at Cirencester, when he won ist. He afterwards went

Mrs. Hoare at this time had a strong team, including Superbus,
