The Smooth Fox Terrier 431 



buf Norfolk Parader was put over him, a position he never again occupied, 

 for he was never so good as he was then in his puppyhood, and Result 

 we must say was very much over-coated and ruffy about the neck, making 

 him look short there and wrong in shoulders. Norfolk True Blue was still 

 in her prime, and both champion prizes thus went to Toronto, with the 

 reserves to Sabine, whose best bitch was the extremely taking Sabine Laven- 

 der. 



Last year another important kennel made its first entry at New York 

 under Mr. E. Powell, Jr., one of the best-known English exhibitors. The 

 new kennel was that of Mr. C. K. Harley, of San Francisco, who got some 

 of Mr. Raper's best smooth and wire-haired terriers and entered ten. With 

 the exception of one class not confined to American-bred dogs, Sabine and 

 Wandee terriers won every first prize, the exception being a win by Norfolk 

 All Blue. The high honours went to Sabine, with two firsts in the winners 

 classes with Sabine Result and Sabine Victory, a new bitch. This year was 

 but a repetition, the exceptions to the successes of the two Western kennels 

 being the two puppy wins of Warren Radical and Warren Receipt. It is 

 a show which will, however, be remembered as the last appearance of Mr. 

 Gooderham's dogs, that gentleman having announced his retirement from 

 competition and the dispersal of his kennels. Mr. Lyndon, who did so 

 much for the success of the Norfolks, is now in San Francisco in charge of 

 the Wandee Kennels, and the duel between California and Texas promises 

 to be as interesting as ever, not only in the way of importations but in home- 

 bred terriers, for Mr. Farwell is paying great attention to breeding at his 

 home kennels, and Mr. Lyndon was the man really responsible for what 

 was done at the Norfolk Kennels, Mr. Gooderham giving him full sway. 



The standard adopted by the American Fox Terrier Club is that of 

 the English club, and is as follows: 



Descriptive Particulars 



Head. — ^The skull should be flat and moderately narrow, and gradually 

 decreasing in width to the eyes. Not much "stop" should be apparent, 

 but there should be more dip in the profile between the forehead and top 

 jaw than is seen in the case of a greyhound. The cheeks must not be full. 

 The ears should be V-shaped and small, of moderate thickness and drooping 

 forward close to the cheek, not hanging by the side of the head like a fox-
