The Fox Terrier. 



more), until the late Mr. F. J. Astbury, of Prestwich, 

 near Manchester, purchased him, and showed him over all 

 the country. Dr. Hazlehurst had Turk and Mr. A. C. 

 Bradbury Trumps about this time ; the latter a leggy dog 

 rather, with a richly marked head, and bearing a character 

 for gameness second to none. Good as he was, he, like 

 Old Turk, was but a second-rater compared with the lions 

 of his day, though in " blue blood" equal to the highest in 

 the land. Mr. J. H. Shore's Viper, another son of Tartar, 

 deserves a line to be written as to his excellence; so does 

 that sterling bitch Trinket, whose only fault was her plum- 

 coloured nose. Her history proved sad, for she was stolen, 

 and no one, excepting the thieves, who were never dis- 

 covered, knew what became of her. Anyhow, a lovely bitch 

 was lost to the honest people of the world. Grove Trimmer, 

 shown by the late Rev. T. W. De Castro ; Mr. Allsop's 

 Rebel ; Deserter, the property of Mr. F. Redmond, who 

 has now, in 1902, the strongest kennel of smooth fox terriers 

 in the world, and whose perseverance for so many years 

 has resulted so satisfactorily; Little Jim— the best of 

 Tyke's get we ever saw — bred by Mr. Cumming Macdona ; 

 Tip and Spot, shown by Mr. Theodore Basset, were all 

 terriers of a high class, and so like workmen in appearance 

 that they deserve to be mentioned here. The same may be 

 said of Mr. Murchinson's Tom, of Vengeance, and of Dili- 

 gent, the latter one of the early fox terriers shown by Mr. 

 R. Vicary, of Newton Abbot, who, later on, was to obtain 

 such celebrity with his kennels. She was bred by Charley 

 Littleworth in 1877, and was by Brockenhurst Joe — Busy,, 

 by Bitters, and a hardy looking bitch with a very coarse 

 stern.
