Shows at Northampton and Nottingham, 1875 321 



Pott, and Captain Wetherall. Field-terriers, or Vermin-terriers, were 

 a good muster, thanks to Messrs. Southwell, G. Hellewell, Nicolson, F. 

 James, and G. Moore. St. Bernards found all the prizes awarded to 

 Mr. F. Gresham. Mastiffs were mostly represented by the Rev. W. J. 

 Mellor and Miss Aglionby. Pointers, Setters, and Retrievers had 

 but one class each. Spaniels were better, by the help of Messrs. 

 Spurgin, Wadington, P. Bullock, and Langdale. Nearly all the 

 prizes in Black-and-tan Terriers were taken by Mr. G. Wilson. Mr. 

 W. W. Thomson was to the fore in a small class of Sheep-dogs. 

 All the rest were small classes, except " Any other Variety " a very 

 mixed collection. Toy Spaniels found Mrs. Forder winning several 

 prizes, as she can still do ; but I have not noticed her name as an 

 exhibitor at leading shows before this date.
