to the root of the tail ; colour, a bright steel blue,

Attempts have frequently been 1ade to 
establish the Yorkshire Terrier in the United 
States, whither some choice specimens have 
been exported. But the climatic conditions 
in that country appear to be detrimental to 
most of the long-coated breeds. Among 
American fanciers Mrs. Raymond Malloch 
has possessed many good examples, and 
Mrs. Thomas has done much to make this 
variety popular during the past few years, 
421 
succeeding to some extent in overcoming 
the difficulties of the long coat. Her 
Endcliffe Muriel is of excellent colour and 
type, as are her more diminutive Endcliffe 
Midge and Margery, while her Ch. Endcliffe 
Merit (known in England as Persimmon) 
has carried off a large share of the honours 
of the show ring. Mrs. Phelan’s Mascotte 
is also worthy of mention, and Mrs. Senn’s 
Queen of the Fairies is representative of 
the few really good products of American 
breeding. 
In France and Germany the Yorkshire 
Terrier has become popular as a lap dog, 
sharing distinction with the King Charles 
and other chiens de luxe au d’agrément. 
At the exhibition of dogs held in the Tuileries 
Gardens in May, 1907, there were fifteen 
entries of Yorkshires, prominent among the 
bitches being Royale-Beauté, Mont Thabor 
Avent and Gamine; and among the dogs 
Mont Thabor Teddy, Royal Idéal, and Tiny, 
who, judged by Mr. F. Gresham, were 
placed as prize winners in the order men- 
tioned. R. L.
