33 2 Dog Shows and Doggy People 



Sneyd's Hector, Messrs. Layland's Monastery, Armitage's Oscar, 

 Murchison's Mentor and Fidus, Joyce's Queen Bertha and Queen 

 Bess, Gresham's Shah, Eleanor, and Othman, Miss Aglionby's Jura, 

 and others all being in the prizes. Newfoundlands had three or four 

 well-filled classes, in which the winners came from Messrs. Gowland, 

 Bowman, Huhn, Freeman, and Mrs. Cunliffe-Lee, a lady who 

 afterwards was a well-known and successful exhibitor in the large 

 breeds. Deer-hounds were a small entry for such a show. Grey- 

 hounds were representative, Messrs. Sharpies, J. H. Salter, Wadding- 

 ton, Worthington, and H. Haydon taking all the prizes. Foreign 

 Dogs contained a very mixed lot, more so than at the present day, 

 when several then called P'oreign Breeds have classes of their own. 

 Pointers were a fine lot in twelve classes, a rare number for any 

 variety in those days, most of the prizes being taken by Messrs. 

 Wippell, Salter, Lloyd Price, Willis, Fletcher, Whitehouse, Sam Price, 

 Barclay-Field, Brewis, Bartram, Arkwright, and McBride. All three 

 varieties of Setters had good entries, and the prize list contained the 

 following as chief winners, Messrs. Laverack, Purcell-Llewellin, 

 G. Jones, Fletcher, B. Field, and Cunnington ; J. H. Salter, Parson, 

 Trevithick, the Earl of Yarmouth, and Messrs. Brandreth ; Hilliard, 

 Brown, McHaffie, and Jephson. Retrievers found Messrs. J. W. 

 Morris, S. E. Shirley, M.P., Fletcher, Harrison, Large, Britton, 

 Baillie, Cochrane, and Rudge at the head of affairs in a large entry. 

 Messrs. Fletcher, Spurgin, Arkwright, Saxby, Bowers, Brandreth, 

 and Page took most of the prizes offered in the several classes for 

 Spaniels. In a large entry of Fox-terriers many well-known exhibitors 

 were represented in the prize list, amongst others being Messrs. J. 

 Fletcher, Gillett, Alston, J. Terry, R. B. Lee (with Nimrod), 

 Thackrey, Abbott, Whittle, Skinner, H. Gibson, Fred. Burbridge, 

 Hazlehurst, F. Redmond, Southwell, W. Carrick, and Alf. Easten. 

 Sheep-dogs had typical representation by Messrs. Jubb, Simpson, 

 Shirley, Ashwin, Thomson, Mapplebeck, and Charles. Messrs. 

 Dawes, Adcock, Harding Cox, Vero Shaw, and Philip Rust supplied 

 nearly all the winners in the Bull-dog Classes of all weights. 

 Messrs. Vero Shaw and R. J. Hartley took the best of the prizes in 

 Bull-terriers, as Messrs. Lacy and R. Taylor did in Black-and-tan 

 Terriers. Dandies were a good lot from well-known kennels, mostly 

 in the North, except my old Rob Roy, who was second to Rev. 

 Tennison-Mosse's Shamrock. Messrs. Pratt, Hatton, Pike, and 

 Boulton had it all to themselves in the Skye Classes. Several new 

 exhibitors of Dachshunds appeared. Pomeranians were small entries.
