 under 20 lb., were represented by Messrs. J. McLeish, R. Erskine,

 Terriers, under and over 14 lb., were a decent entry, the chief winners 

 being owned by Messrs. Zurhorst, Virgin, Frazer, McComb, Wadd-

 Terriers, in which four or five prizes were taken by Mr. G. Jamieson

 Messrs. Montgomery, Cunningham, Roberts, and Agnew. The rest 

 of the show calls for no mention, the entries being small and
