The late Mr. William Graham 



117 



Belfast, and hence 

 arose the prefix 

 " Breda," so often 

 seen in connection 

 with dogs from his 

 kennel. A very few 

 of the names of the 

 dogs from this kennel 

 are Breda Muddler, 

 Breda Mixer, Ex- 

 treme Carelessness, 

 Breda Star, Breda 

 Dan, Breda Ned, 

 Breda Emma, Breda 

 Mike, and Breda 

 Belle. 



With regard to the 

 peculiar name of one 

 of the above, some 

 of the older exhibi- 

 tors may remember 

 a dispute about the 

 pedigree of a dog 

 shown by a well- 

 known fancier, which, 

 Mr. Graham alleged, 

 was not correct. 

 The matter was re- 

 ferred to the Kennel 

 Club : they decided 

 in favour of the 

 subject of this 

 sketch, and that 



"it was extreme carelessness on the part of the other." The next 

 specimen registered by Mr. Graham bore the unique name of 

 " Extreme Carelessness." 



Since writing the foregoing I have heard, with much regret, of 

 the death of Mr. W. Graham, which will, I am sure, cause sorrow 

 amongst a large circle of friends on both sides of the Channel.
