362 Dog Shows and Doggy People 



Mrs. S. A. Humphries (now and for some years since appearing in 

 the theatrical world), Mr. L. G. Morrell (at one time a frequent 

 exhibitor and popular supporter of the variety, but, I regret to say 

 as I enjoyed his friendship for many years, in part of which he was 

 much in company with our mutual friend Mr. Edwin Brough now 

 seldom seen at a dog show), and Mr. E. R. Ray. Deer-hounds 

 found the winners in Mr. W. M. Chinnery's Duke, Dr. J. L. 

 Hemming's Doctor and Linda, and Mr. F. Adcock's Graham. Grey- 

 hounds had two classes, the chief winners being Messrs. Lararmy, 

 J. Brown, jun., C. Stokes, and J. Fletcher. Mastiffs were a typical 

 lot, containing the following in prize list Messrs. Harris's Shah, 

 Parkinson's Colonel, Mark Beaufoy's Beau, Morris's Duchess and 

 Vaga, Allen's Creole, Elwell's Maggie and Mabel, and A. H. Bowles's 

 Ben II. In St. Bernards, as was not unusual in those days, Mr. F. 

 Gresham was first in Roughs and Smooths, other winners being Prince 

 A. Solms and Mr. T. C. Drake. Messrs. Mapplebeck and Wildman 

 took all the prizes in Newfoundland Classes with their Leo, Lion, 

 Gipsy, and Brunette. Retrievers were large and good classes in both 

 varieties ; the winners were mostly owned by well-known exhibitors, 

 such as Messrs. J. Fletcher, E. G. Farquharson, S. E. Shirley, C. A. 

 Baylis, J. Andrew, W. A. Howe, J. W. Morris, W. Arkwright, S. Darbey, 

 and Captain J. Cote. Sheep-dogs (Rough) had twenty-four entries in 

 Open Dogs and ten in Open Bitches. I remember quite a sensation 

 was caused by the winner in the former (Mr. F. H. Cope's Time), 

 just a fair dog we should think him now, being claimed at his catalogue 

 price of .50, a figure not often reached in those days for a Sheep- 

 dog. The other winners were Mr. Arkwright's Roy and Mr. W. W. 

 Thomson's Hero in Dogs, and in Bitches Mr. Shirley's graceful 

 Hornpipe first, Mr. A. Walker's Colley second, and Mr. Cope's 

 Test third. In a mixed class of sixteen Smooth Collies (which con- 

 tained, amongst others, Mr. W. W. Thomson's Yarrow and Hawk, 

 Mr. Swinburne's Lassie, and Mr. Mapplebeck's often-shown brace), 

 Mr. Mapplebeck's merle Fan was first and Mr. J. A. Anderson's Glen 

 second. Pointers were representative classes, and the prizes went to 

 well-known kennels in the following : Messrs. J. Fletcher, Arkwright, 

 Fauntleroy, W. H. Walker, Veitch, J. K. Bartram, and E. G. Farqu- 

 harson. Setters were not so numerous, but contained a good deal 

 of quality in the three divisions ; the chief winners were Messrs. J. 

 Fletcher (with Rock and Dora), W. P. Sims, Fauntleroy (with Prue), 

 H. Mapplebeck (with Blossom and Mona), and Richardson and 

 Trevithick. Messrs. Fletcher, Skidmore, and G. S. Hockey took all
