A comparison of measurements is very interesting, for it 

 will be noticed that in several points the little bitch exceeds 

 the other, and, despite the disparity in size, she equals her in 

 chest measurements. 



Another sterling bitch that now claims our attention is 

 Snowflight, who won the Waterloo Cup in 1882 and ran up 

 the following year. She was the first of Bothal Park's progeny 

 to show up conspicuously, but since her victory he has 

 produced a long list of winners and added to the lustre of 

 Scotland Yet, to whom Snowflight traces back on both 

 sides.
