196 Modern Dogs. 



white is mixed with black, or what is often called 

 " blue." Personally, I do not consider the " wall- 

 eyes " detract from the animal's appearance. 



In the club standard such is not alluded to, and 

 I do not believe any judge who found a perfectly

 Newby Bridge, Ulverston, has at the present time 

 the best kennel of Dalmatians, his liver spotted 

 Prince IV. ; his black spotted Acrobat and Landing 

 Boy being perhaps his choicest specimens. Another 

 excellent liver or brown marked dog is Doncaster

 whites his Berolina, Mr. A. E. Paley's Black Prince, 

 and Mr. H. C. Hodson's Goblin must not be 

 forgotten. Mr. Hugo Droesse, of London, the late 

 secretary to the specialist club, has from time to 

 time shown some excellent specimens. Mr. H. 

 Mercer, Newcastle, Staffordshire; Mr. J. H. Foster, 

 Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire ; Mrs. H. Carthew, Ulver- 

 ston ; and Mr. R. J. Hartley, Bridgenorth, Salop,

 dogs of the variety, which, however, are more 

 used for show purposes and for the adornment of 

 the benches than to run after their masters' 

 carriages. Mr. James Fawdry, Sutton Coldfield,
