T. J. White, W. Matthew, and G. Wear. Mr. Vero Shaw took the 

 cream of the prizes in Bull-dogs and Bull-terriers with his Smasher, 

 Donald, Tarquin, and Slaughter. Mr. S. E. Shirley won in Rough 

 Terriers with his Tip, followed by Messrs. Wood and Lacy, the 

 latter taking most of the prizes in Smooth Terriers. A very mixed 

 lot, but good specimens, appeared in the Variety Class, including 

 St. Bernards, Great Danes, and Newfoundlands. Nothing else was 

 worthy of mention.

 of the prizes falling to Messrs. Hulse, Murchison, Everitt, J. A. 

 Doyle, C. Pilgrim, J. J. Pirn, Proctor, J. Thackrey, and Betts. In 

 Wire-haired Messrs. Easten, Hulse, Richardson, and Carrick took

 exhibitors did not appear amongst the winners, who were Messrs. 

 Summerson, Waddington, J. W. Pease, E. Backhouse, J. English, 

 Ashworth, Shorthose, Cochrane, and Bragg. Setters, divided into 

 Gordons and All Others, had for winners in the former Messrs. 

 Richardson, Howell, Nelson, and Lawson ; and in the latter Messrs. 

 S. E. Shirley, G. de L. Macdona, Waddington, Walton, and 

 Shorthose. Retrievers had a good representation in the prize list, 

 supplied by Messrs. How, Shirley, Law, J. Brown, Waddington, 

 Coope and Sletbourn. In Clumber Spaniels Mr. A. W. Langdale 

 alone scored. The winners in all other kinds of Spaniels were 

 Messrs. T. B. Bowers, E. Pratt, J. Fletcher, and W. Gillett. The 

 chief prizes in all kinds of Sporting Puppies felt to Messrs. E. 

 Hutton, H. G. Forster, W. Stoddart, and S. Wood.
