92 The Fox Terrier. 



by Mr. Mansell, of I, Orleston Road, Holloway, is the 

 work of Arthur Wardle, and as " The Totteridge Eleven " 

 will come to have historical value in the future, as 

 indicating the perfection to which the fox terriers had been 

 brought at the time it was painted. That Mr. Redmond's 

 terriers are game to the backbone goes without saying. I 

 have seen how " Duchess " and " Donna " can fight and

 good work with hounds. 



Mr. E. M. Southwell (Shropshire), a painstaking and

 place is Richmond Grange, Gomersal, near Leeds), Mr. 

 Raper had a valuable kennel of terriers, as well as of other 

 dogs, but earlier in his career he gave pretty much of his 

 attention to the fox terrier. Thus he has had many of the
