Dog Shows and Doggy People 



"Then I can recall John Douglas, Clumber, VVorksop; Charles 

 Greaves, Ashton-under-Lyne ; John Inman, Brighouse ; B. Speight, 

 Sheffield ; J. T. Fisher, Cross Hills ; John Sykes, solicitor, 

 Huddersfield ; and Mr. W. Lort, King's Norton. I was wont to look 

 with reverent awe upon the latter, never dreaming that one day I 

 too should myself ' don the ermine.' Another interesting item of 

 my earliest recollections was that we were not allowed to either lead 

 our dogs to be judged or be present. 



" This was the case at the Belle Vue Gardens, Manchester, and at 

 Birmingham until a few years since." 



I am favoured with a good portrait of Mrs. Jagger, and am able 

 to give pictures of three of her winning St. Bernards. 



Mr. E. W. Jaquet 



THIS gentleman, who was educated at King's College, London, has all 

 his life been interested in sport of all kinds, and had dogs about him. 



As many of us 

 remember, for years 

 he was junior partner 

 in the well-known 

 exhibiting and breed- 

 ing firm of " Hard- 

 ing Cox & Jaquet," 

 to whom were 

 credited so many 

 prizes and honours 

 some years since. 



He was one of the 

 founders of the Bull- 

 dog Club, and on 

 two occasions he has 

 acted as judge at 

 Kennel Club Shows. 

 For some time he 

 resided in the Island 

 of Jersey, where he 



was on the Committee of the Jersey Dog Club, also of the Cycling 

 and Swimming Clubs there, and is still the English representative
