downwards, and making the exhibition of dogs, cats, and other live 

 stock " social functions " in which the best people are not ashamed 

 to take part. 



It is an old adage that " lookers-on see most of the game," and I 

 have had a long and practical experience of the subject, and have 

 not the least doubt that the influx to the world of fanciers of the 

 best class of people has been greatly to its benefit in raising the tone 

 of dog shows, etc., and also encouraging to breeders in introducing 

 buyers who are willing and anxious to obtain the best specimens of 

 the varieties they fancy, and prepared to give remunerative prices 

 for them. 



Dr. J. H. Salter 



THIS gentleman is, and has been for more years than most of the 

 Doggy People now about can remember, one of the most entitled 

 to be called an " all-round sportsman," as nothing in the way of 

 legitimate sport has come amiss to him. He has taken interest in 

 cricket, football, rowing, fencing, boxing, fishing, volunteering, shoot-

 been a dog owner since i858^-a longer record than can be shown 

 by many people and has had a great number of high-class specimens 

 in his time, winning many hundreds of prizes. For more than 

 twenty- five years he has been one of the nominators for the Waterloo 

 Cup, and has owned immense numbers of Greyhounds, Pointers, 

 Setters, Retrievers, Spaniels, and Fox-terriers, as he has almost 

 entirely confined himself to sporting dogs. 



He has been an active member of the Kennel Club, and on its 

 Committee since 1875, at one tmie acting as the Vice-Chairman. 

 He belongs to many other clubs and societies, and is a zealous 

 Freemason, in addition to all of which he has for many years carried 

 on a medical practice at Tolleshunt d'Arcy, in Essex, and belongs to 

 many societies connected with his profession. 



Although the Doctor has so many hobbies and accomplishments, 

 I think perhaps shooting and coursing have been the most favoured 

 by him, to which he has devoted much of the leisure of a busy pro- 

 fessional life. To most of my readers amongst Doggy People he 

 will be known as an ardent and successful votary of coursing from 

 1867, since which his dogs have won many stakes and numerous 

 prizes on the benches. 



In field trials he has often competed with success, winning the
