68 Dog Shows and Doggy People 



kennels are situated. Some of the best known of his Black Field- 

 spaniels have been Celbridge Capulet, Champion Celbridge Chloe, 

 Celbridge Mercutio, Celbridge Banquo, Maize, Ithuriel, Fortinbras, 

 and others ; amongst his Sussex Spaniels have been Celbridge 

 Eldorado and Jonathan Swift. 



Lieut-Colonel Cane does not confine himself to dogs alone, as he 

 is a breeder and successful exhibitor of Scottish cattle, and also gives 

 some attention to the breeding of horses, of which he is very fond. 



He has been for many years Chairman of the Dublin District 

 Fishing Board of Conservators, and leads an active and useful life, 

 which accounts for his popularity on both sides of the Channel.

 Kennel Club, and Ladies' Kennel Association, and as successful

 has taken a number of prizes and honours at many of the leading 

 shows, and is a great favourite with his owner, who has refused the
