 and Champion Zoe, we found we were on the wrong 

 road, but we had, under the guidance of Mr. Nichols 

 and Mr. Farquharson, obtained Courtier, Lady

 Sybil, and Mistress of the Robes, with which we 

 were very successful as exhibitors. Later we bred 

 such notable dogs as Alliance, Coastguard, Jack 

 Tar (now the property of Mr. S. Cameron, of Mel-

 (bred by Mrs. Lee, and a son of Courtier), which 

 soon became a champion, and passed into the 

 hands of Mr. W. Paterson, of Glasgow. So recently 

 as the autumn of 1893 Mrs. Mansfield showed 

 an excellent young dog at the Kennel Club 

 Show called Piermaster, by Hematite from Lady 

 Mayoress II."
