C. Tongue and W. Long ; for Deer-hounds and Greyhounds, Mr. 

 S. Mallaby; for Pointers, Captain Willis and Mr. J. Sykes ; for

 Spaniels, Major Irving, Mr. J. Sykes, Captain Willis, and Mr. J. 

 Walker ; for Other Dogs, Messrs. J. Tailby, J. Monsey, J. Sykes,

As usual at these shows, the Sporting Division was much the 

 stronger in numbers, best entries being in Fox-hounds, Large and 

 Small Pointers, Setters, Retrievers, and Spaniels. There was a 

 fairly representative entry in Non-Sporting Division, and good lot 

 of Toys were shown. 



On December 22nd, 1864, the Fourth Show was held in the 

 Manchester Zoological Gardens with 1,000 entries; but I have not 

 been able to ascertain who acted as judges. 



There was a respectable entry all through, the largest being 

 in Large and Small Pointers, Retrievers, Fox-terriers, Scotch and 

 Black-and tan Terriers, and Mastiffs. At this show Mr. Hale's 

 afterwards well-known Dalmatian Crib seems to have made his 

 first appearance. 



On June 2nd to 6th, 1865, the Third Great International Show 

 was held in the Agricultural Hall, Islington. There were 1,063 

 entries. 



The judges were as follows : Pointers, Setters, Retrievers, and 

 Spaniels, Messrs. T. Pearce, W. Brailsford, and J. Walker; Fox- 

 hounds, Harriers, and Fox-terriers, Messrs. W. Walker, C. Tongue, 

 and T. Walton ; all the rest, except Toys, Captain Greville, Messrs. 

 H. Hanley and T. Wcotton ; Toys, Messrs. J. Tailby, J. Monsey, 

 and Rowland Hill. 



Pointers and Setters, as well as Spaniels, Retrievers, and Grey- 

 hounds, were all strong ; and there were fair entries of Deer- and 

 Blood-hounds, small lots of Fox-hounds and Harriers, and a fair 

 sprinkling throughout the rest of the classes, as I shall proceed 

 to show. 



There was a good lot of Mastiffs, with Mr. E. Han bury first and 

 second; also of Bulldogs, with Mr. J. Lamphier first and Mr. H. 

 Brown second and third. In Bull-terriers, Mr. Jim Hinks was first 

 and second. Black-and-tans (large and small) found Mr. H. Brown 

 first and second, and he was also first in a large class of Pugs. 

 In Scotch Terriers over 7 lb., Mr. Peter Eden took first, second, 

 and third. 



As many of the entries were downright good, I will give some
