confined themselves to Toy 

 varieties, Maltese Terriers, 

 Italian Greyhounds, Black- 

 and-tans, Toy Spaniels, 

 Pugs, and Yorkshire 

 Terriers. One of the 

 first, of the last named, 

 they showed was H udders- 

 field Ben, well known at 

 the stud and on the 

 benches, where he took 

 some hundred prizes ; he 

 died through an accident 

 in 1871. Little Kate was 

 another good specimen, 

 and, like Emperor, winner 

 of many prizes. Others 

 were Bruce, Little Bright, 

 Morning Star, Lord Dun- 

 dreary, Queen of the Fancy, 



in estimating their having 

 taken several thousand 

 prizes in the forty-seven 

 years' experience of the 

 show benches ! Although 

 the entries have nearly 

 always been made by Mrs. 

 M. A. Foster, I have no 

 doubt her husband, Mr. 

 Jonas Foster who some- 

 times, but not always, goes 

 with her to the shows, 

 and occasionally judges 

 some of the Toy breeds 

 takes an active part in the 

 preparation of many of 

 the noted specimens they 

 have shown. 



As far as my remem- 

 brance of them, which is a 

 long one, goes, they have
