 Swinburne, Richardson, and McDougall taking the principal prizes. 

 Messrs. Adcock and Dewar won in Bull-dogs, and Messrs. Roocroft 

 and Stirling in Bull-terriers. Fox-terriers were a good entry, the 

 chief winners being shown by Messrs. Erskine, Ward, J. J. Pirn, Blake, 

 W. B. Beatty, W. Hulse, and G. F. Richardson (with his Bramble 

 and Briar). Irish Terriers were almost a gift to Mr. G. Jamison, as 

 he won nearly every prize in the four classes with his team, comprising 

 Banshee, Sport, Sporter, Maghbile, MacNessa, Colleen Dhas, Colleen 

 Bawn, and Columkille, Messrs. Despard and McRae having only a 

 look in. All the other classes were small and unimportant.
