308 Dog Shows and Doggy People 



Jack Russell, Messrs. M. B. Wynn, John Douglas, John Fisher, and 

 James Nisbet. 



Sporting Classes were rather short in Blood-hounds, Deer-hounds, 

 Otter-hounds, Beagles, and Spaniels, fair in Setters (supported by 

 Major Cowen and Mr. J. Shorthose), good in Greyhounds and 

 Pointers (with many prizes in latter falling to Mr. J. H. Whitehouse), 

 and very strong in Retrievers (with substantial help from Mr. J. W. 

 Morris). Fox-terriers had a good entry, Messrs. Astbury, G. H. 

 Proctor, W. Allison, Thackray, and Denham being amongst the 

 most successful. 



Non-Sporting Classes found Mr. F. Gresham taking all the 

 cream in St. Bernards with his Monk, Hector, and Reenie. 

 Mastiffs were a good lot, also Sheep-dogs (Rough and Smooth). 

 Black-and-tans and Bull-terriers (Mr. Godfree taking nearly all the 

 prizes in latter, and Mr. H, Lacy in former), Bedlingtons and 

 Dandies, were the best amongst the others, the Toy and fancy 

 varieties not coming up well, and no entries of Toy Spaniels. 



In the Market Place, Nottingham, was held on October 2nd, 3rd, 

 5th, and 6th, 1874, an exhibition of dogs, when Mr. \Vakerley acted 

 as secretary, and a good entry was obtained. 



The following were the judges appointed : Blood-hounds, St. 

 Bernards, and Mastiffs, Messrs. T. L. Becker, H. D. Kingdon, and 

 W. Harrison; Fox-hounds, Harriers, Beagles, and Wire-haired Fox- 

 terriers, Rev. Jack Russell, Captain Skipwith, Messrs. Peter Pilgrim 

 and Frank Gillard; Deer-hounds, Greyhounds, Pointers, and Setters, 

 Mons. le Prince de Vismes et de Ponthieu, Colonel Welfitt, and 

 Mr. J. Brown ; Retrievers and Spaniels, Mons. le Prince de Vismes 

 et de Ponthieu ; Sheep-dogs, Dandies, and Newfoundlands, Messrs. 

 H. Dalziel and Gordon Murray ; other Non-Sporting and Sporting 

 Dogs not mentioned above, Messrs. John Fisher, Digby Collins, and 

 H. Dalziel. 



Amongst Sporting Dogs, Blood-hounds, Fox-hounds, Harriers, and 

 Otter-hounds were poorly supported. Fox-terriers were large and 

 good classes, with many well-known names as winners. Pointers, 

 Setters, and Spaniels filled well, also Retrievers. 



In Non-Sporting, Mastiffs came up well. St. Bernards found 

 Mr. F. Gresham in the front. Sheep-dogs were fairly good, with 

 Messrs. W. W. Thomson and W. H. Charles amongst the winners. 

 Bull-dogs, Bull-terriers, Black-and-tan and other Smooth Terriers 

 were all representative classes; but small entries were the rule 

 amongst the rest, some varieties having no entries at all.
