HOSE who desire to see the fox terrier as he is or 

 ought to be, have had their wishes gratified by 

 the portraits of Result and Vesuvienne, of Venio 



and of Lyons Sting, of D'Orsay and Dame Fortune, of 

 Dreadnought and the young bitch Duchess of Durham, on 

 preceding pages. All have already been described, and my 

 opinion as to their respective merits is pretty well known. 

 Result was my favourite until Duchess of Durham came out, 

 and when the former first appeared in public I pronounced 

 him such an extraordinary dog that his like would not be 

 seen for many years. His owners believed the same, and 

 the correctness of the opinions then expressed has been 

 amply borne out. It is only natural for the Devonshire 

 men and Mr. R. Vicary to believe their bitch Vesuvienne 

 to be the better of the couple, and there are two or three 

 exemplary judges who agree with them.
