(a dog I always greatly admired), over his Othman and Mr. Fred. 

 Gresham's Shah and Monk, all four competitors bred by Mr. Gresham. 

 The champion prize in Bitches went to Mr. Fred. Gresham's Abbess, 

 certainly the best smooth-coated bitch of her day, and I do not 

 remember any specimen of the variety since I liked so well. In 

 Open Rough Dogs the winners were Mr. G. de L. Macdona's 

 Bayard (afterwards one of the greatest winners ever shown of 

 the variety, but then a youngster of fifteen months), Mr. F. Gore's 

 Kaiser, and Mr R. Thornton's Percy. The winners in Open Rough 

 Bitches were Mr. Joyce's Queen Bess, Mr. Tatham's Augusta, and Mr. 

 Joyce's Queen Mab. In Smooth Dogs, Mr. F. C. Clarke won with 

 Kaiser, Mr. F. Gresham coming second with Lion, and Mr. R. Thornton 

 third with Druid. Smooth Bitches found Mr. F. Gresham heading 

 the class with Bernie II. (own sister to his winner in Dogs), followed 

 by Mr. P. R. Brewis's Abbess II. and Mr. Thornton's Flora. 

 In Dog Puppies Mr. N. Sykes won with Sefton ; Mr. Goodwin's 

 Fritz was next in order. In Bitch Puppies Mr. M. L. Moran won 

 with Nora, Mr. Thornton being second with Edith. 



Mr. Howard Mapplebeck was first in Black Newfoundland Dogs 

 and first and second in like Bitch Class with his Leo, Gipsy, and 

 Brunette, Mr. Wildman's Lion being second in Dogs, Mr. 

 Foster's Brewer third, and Mr. Wildman's Lady in Black third in 

 Bitches. The only prize for Other than Black was given to Mr. 

 W. Freeman's Landseer. 



All the prizes in Deer-hounds were taken by Drs. L. Hemming 

 and Haddon. 



Greyhounds were not numerous, the winners being Messrs. 

 T. Jarvis and Waddington in Dogs, and Messrs. T. Kirby and J. H. 

 Salter in Bitches. 



The usual mixed assortment of canine curiosities appeared in 

 Extra Classes for Foreign Dogs, over and under 40 lb., amongst which 

 Lady Emily Peel's Siberian Wolf-hound (Borzoi) Czar, Mr. F. 

 Harford's Chow Fluff, and Mr. Mapplebeck's Esquimaux Zouave 

 were " in the money " in the former, and the Rev. G. F. Lovell's 

 Swedish Beagle Valborg and Mrs. Rousby's Fido in the latter. 



Just sixty Pointers were entered, in which Mr. R. Lloyd Price took 

 both champion prizes in Large Dogs and Bitches with his Wagg and 

 Mead, and he was second in Large-sized Open Dogs with Eos 

 Cymru, first going to Mr. Pilkington's Faust. In like Bitches Mr. G. 

 Moore's Moss won over Mr. J. E. Plan's Mona. The champions in 

 Small-sized Dogs and Bitches were Mr. G. Brewis' Roy and Mr.
