16. CHAMPION ROMALDKIRK ADMIRAL, one of Miss Winifred 



Beal's celebrated Heavenly Twins. This grand Cream 

 stud cat has never been beaten in his class, except by 

 his brother. His prize-winning record is too long for 

 insertion. This cat is in the proud position of being a 

 Champion in the N.C.C. and the C.C., having carried 

 off no less than 14 Championships. Matthew, of The 

 Durhams, a well-known winning Cream, is sired by 

 the twin-brother Midshipmite 68 



17. CHAMPION ROYAL YUM YUM is one of the best Tortoiseshell 



queens in the Fancy. Her colouring is well broken, and 

 she is a beautifully formed cat Miss Kate Sangster, 

 her owner, has won many prizes with her at all the 

 leading shows. Very poor justice can be given to this 

 special breed in a photograph, as the beauty of a Tor- 

 toiseshell chiefly consists in the equal distribution of 

 the three colours 70 



18. CHAMPION PERSIMMON is the celebrated Brown Tabby 



Persian, owned by Miss Frances Simpson. He is perfect 

 in shape, with an immense head, short snub nose, and 

 tiny well-placed ears. He was purchased by his present 

 owner at Brighton Show, 1898. Since then he has won 

 whenever shown, and is now a Champion in both the 

 N.C.C. and C.C. Clubs. He has sired a long list of 

 beautiful brown Tabby prize-winning kittens . 74 



19. CHAMPION BALLOCHMYLE BROTHER BUMP. This grand 



Short-haired Blue (commonly called Russian) is the 

 property of Lady Alexander, and has won a first prize 

 whenever he has appeared in a show pen, and, curiously 

 enough, each time under a different judge. He won the 

 Challenge Cup at Westminster in 1900, and since then 

 three championships at N.C.C. Shows. He is beautiful 

 in colour, has a well-shaped head, and grand orange 

 eyes 



20. CHAMPION WANKEE, the noted Siamese, is owned by Mrs. 



Robinson, of West Kensington, who has always been an 

 enthusiastic and successful breeder of Siamese. He has 

 won over 30 prizes, and sired, among other notable 

 kittens, Beba, Menelik, Sam Sly, and Chaseley Robin, 

 all winners of championships ......
