POINTS OF ENGLISH SETTERS. 373 



The Colour. Lemon-and-white, blue-and-white, orange-and-white, black-and-white, white, 

 black, and liver-and-white. There are other colours, but they are seldom met with. 



In General Appearance the Setter is a handsome though delicate-looking dog ; in many 

 instances increasing this appearance by a tendency to crouch and seem afraid. He, however, 

 ought to give evidences of stamina, and should have a cut-and-come-again appearance in spite 

 of seeming delicate. 



The dog selected for illustration in our coloured plate is Mr. Macdona's Ranger III., a 

 grandson of Old Ranger. This dog's pedigree has already been given, and, as he has been 

 expatriated to Germany, it would be unfair to criticise his performances upon the bench. 



The engravings of Ranger and Novel are, we consider, two excellent likenesses of the 

 animals they represent. Ranger, also Mr. Macdona's, has already been done justice to above, 

 and we can only add that he is as affectionate and obedient in private life as he is feared and 

 formidable in the field. Mr. Shorthose's Novel was bred by Mr. T. B. Cockerton in 1877, 

 and is by Blue Prince out of Flame, by Rail out of Countess, Blue Prince II. by Blue Prince 

 out of Cora. She has won the following prizes : Gateshead first and cup, Whitby first, 

 Preston first, Kendal cup, Bishop Auckland champion, and Birmingham second prize, 1879; 

 first Crystal Palace, first Darlington, 1880.
