OPINIONS OF NOTED COURSERS 147 



far as to omit his name altogether from the list of the twelve 

 best dogs of the century. Let these remarks suffice for the 

 present ; elsewhere we have entered more closely into the 

 merits of this remarkable dog. To proceed, Coomassie and 

 Miss Glendyne tie with 25 votes, then there is a drop to 18 — 

 a number obtained by Bed of Stone. Herschel is two behind 

 with 16, Greentick and Cerito tie with 13 each, Patent has 10, 

 and Honeymoon and Lobelia tie for last place with 8 ; the 

 honoured twelve reading as follows : —

Others that have received a fair share of notice are 

 Mocking Bird, Princess Dagmar, Honeywood, Chloe, David, 

 Canaradzo, Rebe, Gay City, Misterton, and Riot ; whilst a whole 

 host have received one or two votes each. Even Simonian is 

 included in the list by one enthusiast, which shows that in some 

 cases the form has been filled up without due consideration ; 

 for surely this promising ^« de sikle puppy (1891) had hardly, 

 when the question was put, done sufficient to ensure himself a 

 niche in the temple of fame. 



With regard to the second question — viz : ' Name the best 

 greyhound you have ever seen run ' — Fullerton, being fresh in 

 everyone's memory, gets a good majority. The older coursers 

 go for Master McGrath, with the exception of three, two of 

 whom name Bab-at-the-Bowster and the remaining one Patent. 



The following is the return for the twelve most successful 

 stud dogs of the past thirty years : —
