In Mastiffs there was not a large entry, Miss Aglionby and Messrs. 

 C. J. Holliday and J. Shaw accounting for all the prizes. St. Bernards 

 found Miss Aglionby again in front, followed by Prince Albert Solms 

 and Messrs. Janson, Worsley Benison, and Pearson. In three classes 

 for Newfoundlands Mrs. Cunliffe Lee and Messrs. George Raper, 

 Worthy, Chandlish, and Scarth took most of the money. Sheep-dogs 

 had all the prizes offered divided between Messrs. Jubb, Aitchison, 



F. H. Cope, S. E. Shirley, and R. B. Lee in Roughs, and Messrs. 

 W. VV. Thomson and M. Wood in Smooths. Dalmatians were not 

 numerous, and found Messrs. Fawdry, Bowman, James, and H. G. 

 Forster taking the lead. Mr. Vero Shaw nearly scooped the pool in 

 Bull-dogs with his Smasher, Donald, Nell, and Dido (the only other 

 winner being Mr. E. Wooler) ; and he did the same in Bull-terriers 

 with Tarquin, Slaughter, Napper, and Riot. Messrs. H. Lacy (with 

 four prizes), T. Swinburne (with two), and J. Roocroft (with Chance 

 and Sterling) fairly took the Black-and-tan and Smooth Terrier 

 Classes by storm. Skyes were a small but good lot, supplied by 

 Messrs. J. Bowman, Mark Gretton, and Duncan Cunningham. 

 Messrs. Swinburne and Fulton in Smooth Toys, and Mrs. Foster in 

 Rough Toys, more than held their own. Bedlingtons were a good 

 lot, from the well-known kennels of Messrs. Wheatley, Stoddart, 

 J. B. Wall, G. Ross, Mole, and Carrick. None of the others were 

 anything grand ; but the Non-Sporting Puppies and Extra Class had 

 fairly good and mixed lots in them.
