First Show of Dogs at Carlisle, 1877 345 



Toy Terriers. All the other classes were small, though many of 

 them contained specimens of good quality. Mr. C. Whitehouse 

 took most of the prizes in Smooth Toy Terriers, with which he was 

 at one time so much identified. 



The First Exhibition of Sporting and other Dogs was held at 

 Carlisle on January 4th, 5th, and 6th, 1877, with Mr. J. C. Carrick 

 as hon. secretary, and an entry of 582. 



The judges selected were : Messrs. W. Lort, E. Raine, J. Jardine, 

 G. Lindsay, J. N. Scott, J. B. Richardson, W. Pool, J. Locke, and 

 F. Adcock. 



Blood-hounds, Deer-hounds, Otter-hounds, Newfoundlands, 

 Spaniels, and Yard Dogs were all poorly filled classes. Greyhounds 

 were better, with Messrs. Sharpies, Binning, and M. Brown in the prize 

 list. Pointers were good classes, with mostly a new set of winners 

 in Messrs. Easten, Proctor, Reay, Ineson, Bartram, Whitfield, T. 

 Robinson, Boustead, and Slater. Setters were fair, supported by 

 Colonel Cowen, and Messrs. Lyon, Rankin, Parker, Robley, Arm- 

 strong, Bell, and Blamire. Retrievers had one class, with Messrs. 

 How, Calder, and Grey, winners. Fox-terriers were the largest entry, 

 with the winners shown by Messrs. Alston, C. T. Abbott, R. B. Lee, 

 and W. Gillett in Smooths, and Messrs. A. H. Easten, W. Carrick, 

 H. Wood, and A. Fitzroy in Wire-haired. Mr. Enoch Hutton took 

 all the prizes in Dachshunds. 



In two classes of St. Bernards Miss Aglionby was the only well- 

 known prize owner. In Mastiffs the chief winners were Messrs. W. 

 Parkinson, Holliday, J. Hartley, and Rev. B. O. Jones. Sheep-dogs 

 found quite a new set of winners in Messrs. Robson, Thompson, 

 Hardie, Broad, Wilson, and Jardine in Roughs, and Messrs. Hedley, 

 Kimble, and Black in Smooths. Bull-dogs, Bull-terriers, and Pugs 

 had one class each, with hardly a noted dog or owner among them. 

 Bedlingtons were better, with Messrs. Stoddart, Shaw, Wall, Carrick, 

 and Armstrong as winners. Dandies were good, thanks to the entries of 

 Rev. Tennison-Mosse, Mr. Little, Captain Howarth Ashton, Messrs. T. 

 Stordy, J. Brough, W. E. Easten, J. Nutsford, Harding, and W. Veitch, 

 some of whom were afterwards known as keen Dandie fanciers. 

 Skyes divided the prizes amongst Messrs. D. Pattison, F. Betts, and 

 R. S. Briggs. Black-and-tans were represented by Messrs. Dyson, 

 Swinburne, and King; Toy-terriers by Messrs. Shaw, Armstrong, 

 Johnston, W. Houlgate, Mitchell, and H. A. Clark. No others 

 require any mention.
