FALDONSIDE TO DALGIG. 251 



informed where it came from^ and what it 

 meant. 



"Excuse me addressing you, sir j but Johnson's Dictio7i- 

 ary does not hint at such word.'^ "Doesn't it ?'' replied 

 the proud author of its existence ; " if the dog wins 

 the Cup to-day, you'll find it in the next edition I^' 

 And with that the querist subsided into himself. 

 Still Mr. Campbell seems to think " Coodareena'^ 

 and " Carabradzo" quite as happy inspirations ; and 

 he has been dreadfully bothered by the way in which 

 the outer world persisted in pronouncing another pet 

 name " Ci-ol-og-a/' in strict contravention of the 

 Dalgig canons. Twice over we were pulled up, and 

 told that it was Chi-o-Zo-ga; and yet such was the 

 force of habit that we "went and did it again .^' 

 Cups and photographs are a great point with Mr. 

 Campbell. On the piano there stands the goblet 

 which Coodareena won at Lytham, separated from 

 her Brownlow cup by one which Canaradzo gained 

 at Islington last year. 



The chimney-piece can also boast of two similar 

 Canaradzo trophies; one of them the first at Bir- 

 mingham, and the other the second at Leeds — a de- 

 cision, by-the-bye, which "no fellah can understand/' 

 and at which Mr. Randell, who bred the first-prize 

 dog, and Mr. Nightingale^ as well, raised their hands 



* The latter thus speaks of him : " He has the particular point which set- 

 tles all dispute, in my mind, as to a fast v. a slow greyhoimd, viz., the proper 

 description of loin. A broad, thick, vulgar loin denotes to a dead certaiaty 

 the slows, that worst of all complaints in a greyhound. What is wanted ii 

 a well-developed loin, not heavj', nor too long or weak, but growing finer and 

 narrower from the middle to the couplings, just as you see it in him."
