Show at the Old Wharf, Birmingham, 1862 277 



The only other show in 1862 of which I have found any record is 

 the Third Birmingham, held in that year at the Old Wharf, Broad 

 Street, with an entry of 638. 



The following officiated as judges : Messrs. J. B. O. Bayly, J. Beers, 

 T. Calvert, J. Ferryman, W. Lort, jun., Captain Lowndes, Messrs. J. 

 Maiden, S. Mallaby, T. Marshall, C. Randell, and J. Tailby. 



The Sporting Division was the best supported, and had classes 

 for Fox-hounds, Harriers and Beagles, Pointers, dogs and bitches, 

 large and small sized, besides the usual list ; but all Spaniels, 

 except Irish, Water, and Clumbers, had to be shown in " Any 

 other Breeds used for Sporting Purposes." I see the whole of 

 the prizes offered for Clumbers were awarded to entries made 

 by Mr. R. S. Holford, M.P. ; and amongst the winners in the extra 

 class for Foreign Sporting Dogs was a German Boar-hound, probably 

 the same as we now know as a Great Dane ! 



In the Non-Sporting Division the names of many owners still 

 remembered in the Doggy World appear, such as Messrs. E. 

 Hanbury, Lamphier, Hinks, McDonald, Fitter, T. Wootton (amongst 

 the Terriers), Jardine and Gilbert (amongst the Pugs), Mrs. Burke, 

 Messrs. Heeley and Scarlett ; and two of the winners in the extra 

 class for Foreign Non-Sporting Large Class were St. Bernards, and 

 the other an Esquimaux. The breeds of the winners in the Small 

 Class are not given. 



In March, 1863, the first of the series of shows at Cremorne, 

 Chelsea, with the late Mr. E. T. Smith at the head of affairs, 

 was held, and obtained the excellent entry of 1,214, tne judges 

 being Mr. H. Brown (I think the same afterwards known as 

 "Gentleman Brown"), Lord Garvach, Captain Maitland, Mr. J. 

 Willis, Captain Brickman, Messrs. F. Maitland, J. Walker, J. 

 Tailby, J. Worthington, J. Lang, E. Poulet, R. Collins, H. Goater, 

 and R. Marshall. 



No Fox-hounds were entered, but a fair lot of Harriers and 

 Beagles. There was a good entry of Greyhounds, divided into 

 Open Classes, and those for Dogs and Bitches, " winners of thirty- 

 two stakes." In Fox-terriers Mr. T. Wootton was first and second 

 with Jock and Trip, Mr. Jennings's Trimmer being third. The 

 Hon. R. C. Hill took three out of the four prizes awarded to 

 Otter-hounds, and Mr. Laverack took first in Dogs and second 

 in Bitches for English Setters. There were good entries in Large 

 and Small Pointers, and fair entries in the rest of the Sporting 

 Division.
