Montresor, Holmes, Arbuthnot, P. Bullock, H. P. Charles, Bowers, 

 and Spurgin at the head of affairs. 



Mastiffs produced a good entry, in which Messrs. Elwell (with 

 Taurus), Mr. M. B. Wynn (with Peeress), Mr. Banbury (with 

 Wolsey), followed by Messrs. Leigh Pemberton, de Castro, and 

 Hichens, were in the front rank. In St. Bernards Mr. F. 

 Gresham took most of the money, other winners being Messrs. 

 Bowman, Bembridge, Tinker, and Mrs. H. J. Bailey. Newfound- 

 lands and Dalmatians were small classes ; but in the latter was a 

 dog called Britton's Captain, which seems to me the same after- 

 wards shown so long by Mr. J. Fawdry, and which was by far the 

 best specimen of the breed I ever saw. Bull-dogs filled well, 

 Messrs. Adcock, Dawes, Parrott, Mayhew, and Wolff being chief 

 winners. Bull-terriers (Large and Small) had good classes, with 

 Messrs. Boyce, Hannan, Burgess, Stanley, Hood, Evans, and J. W. 

 Gurney all in the prize list. Black-and-tan Terriers were chiefly 

 in the hands of Messrs. H. Lacy and T. Gibbons, and were the best 

 of the remaining classes, which contained small entries for the most 

 part, Mrs. M. A. Foster being well amongst the Yorkshire Terriers, 

 and Mrs. Bligh Monck in the classes for Pugs, Maltese, and Smooth- 

 haired Toy Terriers. Poodles and Toy Spaniels were small entries.
