72 The Sporting Dog 



Meteor, is by Count Gladstone IV out of a daughter 

 of Roderigo. Mohawk is a small but thoroughly 

 well-built and symmetrical dog of the white-black-

 Chicago in the spring of 1903. 



From the famous cross of Gladstone with Bry-

 different type from Gladstone's Boy was Dan 

 Gladstone, a rather small and compact dog, con- 

 sidered a close resemblance to his sire. He was
