A BIRMINGHAM DOG SHOW 255 



Yorkshire ; Mr Francis E. Hemming, Bentley 

 Manor, Bromsgrove, and others. Of setters, R. LI. 

 Purcell-Llewellin, Esq., Willesley Hall, Ashby-de-la- 

 Zouche, Leicestershire ; Edward Laverack, Esq., 

 Broughall Cottage, near Whitchurch, Shropshire ; 

 Geo. Jones, Esq., Ivy Cottage, Ascott ; Thomas 

 Pilkington, Esq., Lyme Grove, Prescot, Lancashire; 

 Major John A. Cowen, Blaydon Burn, Blaydon-on- 

 Tyne ; Captain Thomas Allaway, Highbury House, 

 near Lydney; Captain Eichard Cooper, Thornly 

 Hall, Welford, Paigby ; Capt. Hutchison ; The 

 Prior, and many others. Of retrievers, I shall only 

 name one, Mr J. D. Gorse, Old Manor House, Piad- 

 cliffe-on-Trent, Notts. His curly black-coated dogs 

 are the handsomest I ever saw. 



There are so many different breeds of spaniels 

 that I will not attempt to name any breeders — 

 their name is lecjion — neither do I intend to touch 

 on the non-sporting classes ; but should anyone 

 wish to know where any particular sort of dog is 

 to be had, and will write to me, I shall have great 

 pleasure in giving him every information. 



Gentlemen who are anxious to become members 

 of a canine society, cannot, I imagine, do better 

 than belong to the National, which is composed of 

 many of the first noblemen and sportsmen in the 

 United Kingdom.
