were by Gully the Great. Dr. Rush S. Huidekoper bought Cardona soon 

 after he came out and showed him successfully for several years. He was 

 a very good dog and lasted well. 



The next dog of eminence was Princeton Monarch, shown by W. & L. 

 Gartner. Although not always successful, he had a long list of wins to his 

 credit, and even when seven years old he was able to take first in winners 

 at New York in 1904 under the English judge, Mr. W. J. Pegg. His great 

 rival was Woodcote Wonder, which Mr. Dole imported, and for some time 

 it was nip and tuck between them, but Wonder finally seemed to get settled 

 in first place and held it until he went to California, where he remained for 

 a year or two, only to be purchased by the Bonnybred Kennels of Brooklyn 

 for stud purposes. 



Among other former exhibitors the late Frank H. Croker was one of 

 the leaders about five years ago. Fire Chief was one of his best dogs, but 

 he had a better terrier in the bitch Yorkville Belle. Mr. H. F. Church is 

 another who has been prominent, more particularly with lightweight terriers, 

 Jiis Little Flyer being almost invincible at his weight, and from him came 

 anumberof good dogs. Mr. Church is still exhibiting. Mr. James Conway 

 was another who showed some terriers that were winners, but he went in 

 for bulldogs and sold out his terriers to Mr. Arden. Dick Burge, Modesty 

 and Southboro Lady were three he owned. James Whelan, of New York, 

 is another of the old fanciers, and he had much to do with Mr. Croker's 

 success. Guy Standing, William Faversham, Mark O'Rourke and James 

 Parker have had some prize winners that made good records, and Tommy 

 Holden is getting to be one of our "oldest exhibitors," though he does not 

 look the part by any means. Nor must the Bay View Kennels of Canada 

 be omitted, Mr. Miller having owned and bred many winners shown with 

 that prefix. Time of course makes changes in the list of exhibitors, and at 

 the present date we have to add to those already named who are still exhibit- 

 ing Mr. Clair Foster, J. W. Britton, 2d, Elm Court Kennels and Isaac H. 

 Clothier, of Philadelphia. 



The bull terrier is one of the breeds in which America holds its own, 

 and one of the most surprised persons at the New York show in 1904 was 

 the English judge, Mr. Pegg. He told us when we got through his judging 

 ■of bull terriers and bulldogs that the former gave him the hardest task he 

 had ever had in the judging ring. Not only were the classes large, but 

 they exceeded anything he had ever seen for the number of sound, good
