The Bulldog. 223 



Coming a little later, we find such good dogs as 

 Mr. Sellon's Diogenes and Mischief, Mr. G. Raper's 

 Rustic King and Rustic Model, Mr. J. H. Ellis's 

 Grabber (who died at the good old age of twelve 

 years as this is being written), Guido and Saleni, 

 Mr. S. Woodiwiss's British Monarch and Dryad, 

 Mr. P. Beresford Hope's Bedgebury Lion (who 

 went to America, where he did not survive many 

 months), M. J. B. Gheud's (Brussels) Leonidas, 

 Mr. Benjamin's expatriated Britomartis, Mr. G. 

 Fowler's Monkey Brand, Mr. Cassel's Facey Rom- 

 ford, Mr. Smith's Ruling Passion, Mr. Drew's Kitty 

 Cole, Mr. J. Morris's (afterwards Mr. Sellon's) 

 Queen Mab, the black and tan marked King 

 Orry, Mr. W. G. Smartt's Punch, Mr. H. Pebody's 

 Found It, and there may be others pretty nearly 

 as good as some of the above, the names of

 further proof of the popularity of the bulldog be 

 needed, such will be found in the carefully compiled 

 volume of bulldog pedigrees, the editors of which 

 Messrs. Cyril Jackson and E. H. Bowers tell us
