latter being particularly smart, and of great promise, but unfortu- 

 nately he died soon afterwards. Mr. Marshall did some winning 

 during the year with Zenica, a smart young bitch with excellent 

 body and loin. Jackdaw came out at Chelmsford in 1887, and 

 quickly got to the very top of the tree, for at the Kennel Club 

 Show at Barn Elms he won first open, first puppy, the fifth 

 Produce Stakes, and afterwards beat the champion class winners 

 Maximus and Lady for the Fifty Guinea Challenge Cup, and 

 before the end of the year had won the title of " champion." Mr. 

 Blackett brought out Jupiter at this show, and won second ; he 

 was a nice little dog, a great deal like his sire Joubert, with 

 plenty of quality, grand loin, but just a little light in bone. Mrs. 

 Hoare's Sieger was a particularly nice puppy, beautiful in skull 

 and ears, but deficient in loin. He was successful in puppy 

 classes. Jacobin, litter brother to Jackdaw, third at Hull and 

 Birmingham for Mr. Mudie, has since won many prizes and done 

 good service at the stud. Jocelyn, a good-headed red, with 

 excellent loin, swept the boards at Ryde and Trowbridge ; he is 

 full brother of Joan of Arc, but not so correct in size. 



Junker II., bred by Mrs. Hoare, and afterwards shown by Mr. 

 Marshall, was a nice little dog, with excellent ears, and did a lot 

 of winning. Herfrida, a very small black and tan, won a number 

 of prizes for Mr. Mudie ; she had a good body, the best of legs 

 and feet, but became plain in head, which was never quite long 

 enough. Mr. de Courcy Peele brought two nice black and tan 

 bitches, Phryne III., and Phyllis IV., both good dachshunds ; 

 long in head, good skin and bone, and very sound, but a little 

 short in ear; the former has bred several winners. Scarsdale 

 Jungfrau, by Joubert ex Lady, was an excellent dachshund, of 

 nice quality and type ; she was 3rd at the Kennel Club Show to 

 Guinevere and Wagtail, and won first the following year ; there 

 were few better bitches, if any, than Scarsdale Jungfrau at this 

 tirrie, and she ran Lady close for the cup. 



Among the best dachshunds that came out in 1888 must be 

 counted Mr. Arkwright's Julius, a dog probably wanting in size
