 entries. Greyhounds filled well, the chief winners being Messrs. 

 Bearpark, Watson, Crowther, Robinson, Richardson, Stevenson, and

 Spaniels Messrs. Fletcher and Gillett took most of the prizes, 

 others going to Messrs. Allison, R. Pratt, Gretton, and Pate. 



Mrs. Rawlinson and Mr. C. Curtis were to the front in Mastiffs, 

 not leaving much for the others. In St. Bernards this is the first 

 time I have noticed our late friend Mr. S. W. Smith (who afterwards 

 became such a " power " in this variety) exhibiting his Barry, then 

 just a year old, who was first in Open Dogs, and had a very successful 

 career, other winners being Messrs. Ord, F. H. Field, and Watter- 

 worth. Newfoundlands were large classes in Blacks, but not so 

 good in Landseers, the winners being Messrs. W T . Coat, A. Pease, 

 J. Peacock, and J. Weighell. Sheep-dogs were a typical lot, thanks 

 to the following: Messrs. Jubb, S. E. Shirley, Cope, W. W. 

 Thomson, Pickering, and Newcomen. Dalmatians divided all the 

 prizes between Messrs. J. Fawdry and J. Bowman. Messrs. Raper 

 and Vero Shaw took all the money in Bull-dogs, the former with 

 Prince and Rhoda, the latter with Sepoy and Sting. In Bull- 

 terriers the winners were Messrs. Vero Shaw and Godfree in Large, 

 and Mr. R. J. Hartley in Small, Classes. In Black-and-tan 

 Terriers Messrs. Lacy, Swinburne, and Woodall carried all before 

 them ; in Smooth-haired Terriers Mr. Roocroft did the like.

 in Toy Terriers, and the last-named in Pugs also. Skyes were well 

 represented by Messrs. Bowman, Boulton, and Mark Gretton;
