Mrs. Hali-Walker 



121 



Andrew Walker, Bart., of Derbyshire, is well known in racing circles, 

 having already won the Grand National and other important flat races. 



There is little doubt that the Fancy benefits by the patronage and 

 support of ladies 

 of leisure and in- 

 fluence, like the 

 subject of this 

 sketch, who is not 

 satisfied with any- 

 thing less than the 

 best procurable 

 specimens of any 

 variety she takes 

 up, and does all 

 she can to en- 

 courage the breed. 



Those who have 



had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Hall-Walker will know her as an 

 ardent fancier, outspoken and unaffected in manner, and an exhibitor 

 who, while sparing no pains to win, can take a beating gracefully 

 when she believes the judge acts in good faith and on his genuine 

 opinions. 



I am pleased to give an excellent likeness of Mrs. HalMValker, 

 and also those of two of her pets, an admirable picture of Champion 

 King Pippin, perhaps the best Black Toy Pomeranian now out, 

 and one of the Shaded Sable Dainty Boy, the best of his colour 

 seen for some time.

Miss C. A. D. Hamilton 



THIS young lady's name has been so long known as a successful 

 exhibitor at dog shows (besides others) all over the kingdom, that 

 I am sure my readers will expect to hear something about her and 

 her belongings. 



Although her greatest triumphs have been with Pomeranians, she 

 has by no means confined herself to that popular variety, as she has 

 also done well with St. Bernards, such as Mermaid III., Earl of 

 Devon, Sir Newcombe of Rozelle (hereafter referred to as "R"), 

 Plinlimmon of R., Royal Guide, and Royal Guard. Amongst her 

 Greyhounds Rushing Igtham was the best known.
