142 Dog Shows and Doggy People 



of the Selwood kennels would take up more space than I have 

 at my disposal, but are they not recorded in the chronicles of the 

 leading shows for the last thirty years? 



I am sure my readers would consider my little gallery of 

 Doggy People would be incomplete without even this brief 

 sketch of Mr. Hood-Wright, who has been for so many years 

 intimately associated with doggy affairs, and whose absence would 

 be regretted by all who have the pleasure of his acquaintance. 



Mrs. W. J. Hughes 



THIS exhibitor has make herself such a power in the land with 

 her team of Skye Terriers (which I think she commenced some 

 years since with the purchase from Mr. Thomas Young, C.E., of 

 some typical specimens) that her personality and that of her two 

 charming sisters (her invaluable aides-de-camp) will be familiar to

 Champion Wolverley Duchess took the champion of champions 

 prize in a class for Champions of All Varieties at one of the shows 

 of the Ladies' Kennel Association. 



This lady has been, I think, from the first, one of the active 

 members of the Ladies' Kennel Association, and a generous sup-

 and a member of the Guarantee Committee. 



A great reason of the success of this kennel has no doubt been 

 the personal interest taken in the inmates by its owner, who always 

 shows her dogs in good form, and their being invariably shown by 

 herself or one of her sisters. 



I am pleased to be able to give my readers a good portrait of 

 this successful fancier, with two of her handsome Skyes, and add
