214 Dog Shows and Doggy People 



All-aged Stakes at Blandford, the Pointer Derby, the Kennel Club 

 Field Derby, etc. For many years most of the principal field 

 trials in America have been won by descendants of his black-and- 

 white strain of Pointers through Hops, sister to Malt. 



As might be expected from one of his vast experience, Dr. Salter's 

 services as a judge have been in great request, and he has officiated, 

 not only at all the principal shows in the United Kingdom, 

 but in France, Belgium, and Russia, perhaps more than any other 

 non-professional judge; and dogs from his kennels have been 

 exported all over the world, notably to Hungary, Russia, Belgium, 

 Austria, Germany, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia. 



To give any list of the dogs owned by Dr. Salter or the many and 

 important prizes they have won would take up more space than I am 

 able to give to them ; but I hope I have said sufficient to show that 

 he is one of the very best types of Doggy People we have ; and his 

 cheery and courteous manners and hearty good-fellowship have made 

 him universally popular with all who enjoy the pleasure of his 

 acquaintance, and I hope the day may be far distant when we shall 

 cease to find him coming amongst us to give to some of the fanciers 

 of the present day the advantage of his counsel and long experience 

 in all matters relating to the sporting varieties of dogs, on which he is 

 such an acknowledged authority. 



Mr. S. E. Shirley, D.L., J.P., etc. 



ALTHOUGH there are many distinguished figures in the Doggy World, 

 as I hope to show in the course of these sketches of a few of them, 

 there is certainly no one man to whom exhibitors in general are so 

 much indebted as to this gentleman, who was the real founder of the 

 Kennel Club, for many years acted as its Chairman, and, since his 

 retirement from that arduous post a few years since, was unanimously 

 elected as its President. 



As 1 have said elsewhere, only a few people, comparatively 

 speaking, know the amount of work undertaken and time given by 

 Mr. Shirley to the affairs of the Kennel Club, as he was no merely 

 ornamental head-piece, but took a lively and active interest in all 

 connected with it. A born lover of animals, successful breeder and 

 exhibitor of many varieties, a well-qualified and popular judge, and 

 a man of courteous and unassuming manners, he formed an excellent 

 combination for the position he so long and ably filled.
