33 Dog Shows and Doggy People 



Gully, Rodgers's Nell and Nell Gwynne, Raper's Prince, and Joe 

 Hadley's Young Sir Anthony. My old Bull-dog friends will 

 remember all these and their owners. Fox-terriers, too, had some 

 rare specimens, and some good fanciers with them, amongst others 

 the late Mr. Fred. Burbidge, a keen sportsman and enthusiastic 

 supporter of the variety (with Bitters, Dorcas, Spicey, and Nip), 

 and Messrs. J. R. Whittle (with Yorick), Thackrey (with Jester II.), 

 J. H. Murchison (with Natty) ; others were Messrs. Abbott, 

 Skinner, Nickall, Pryor, Hulse, and Ross. Wire-haired Terriers con- 

 tained Messrs. W. Carrick's Venture, Lindsay Hogg's Topper, and 

 Maynard's Risk in the prize list. In Bull-terriers Messrs. Vero 

 Shaw (with Tarquin) and J. W. Gurney (with Dick II. and Cricket) 

 took the best of the prizes. Dandies were a small but choice lot, 

 supplied by Rev. Tennison-Mosse and Messrs. Locke, Hay wood, 

 Wilson, and Hazlehurst. Mr. W. K. Taunton was one of the winners 

 in Broken-haired Terrier Class. Mr. James Pratt and Captain 

 Villiers Hatton took all the prizes offered for Skyes. The various 

 Puppy Classes filled well, Messrs. Murchison and Gresham taking 

 those for St. Bernard's, and Mr. Mark Beaufoy, such a regular 

 exhibitor for years afterwards, here, making his first appearance at 

 a large show as a winner with a Mastiff Puppy. Rev. G. F. Lovell 

 took most of the money in the Dachshund Classes. Miss Alderson 

 was to the front in Toy Terriers ; and Mrs. Forder shared with 

 Mr. Collier the Toy Spaniel prizes, her entry being the well-known 

 Young Jumbo. Any of my older readers will see what a good show 

 this was, although nowadays it would be thought very small. 



The next important show was held in the Grain Market, Belfast, 

 on May 23rd, 24th, and 25th, 1876, with 463 entries, and Mr. G. H. 

 Adams as secretary. 



The judges selected were : Messrs. W. Lort, E. Sandell, Captain 

 Kerr, Messrs. Samuel Handley and J. W T alker. 



Blood-hounds, Harriers, Otter-hounds, Mastiffs, St. Bernards, and 

 Newfoundlands had one class each, and poor entries. Greyhounds 

 were good, the chief winners being Messrs. Waddington, Davies, 

 Clement, Pott, Cullen, Watson, Erwin, Owen, Craig, Rea, and 

 McAuley. Pointers were fairly typical, represented in prize list 

 by Messrs. Morton, McClelland, Ferguson, Lindsay, Lyons, Erwin, 

 and McGildowney. Setters were the largest entry in the show, the 

 winners in English classes being Messrs. Morton, Coate, Fisher, 

 Waddington, and Richardson ; in Gordons Messrs. W. J. Smyth, 

 Richardson, Adair, Gage, and Lloyd ; and in Irish Messrs. Hilliard,
