money and three years later we find the entry reduced to nine dogs and 

 bitches. Mr. Brooks had retired by this time, but Mr. Ames took all three 

 firsts that were awarded, that in the novice class being withheld, in which 

 he however took second and third. He left only two second prizes to his 

 opponents. This was Mr. Ames's last entry at New York. In 1899 

 Dr. Ewing made his first exhibit at New York, sending on entries of Loyne 

 Ginger and Romany Ringlet, both English winners, although Loyne Ginger 

 was then decidedly past his prime. The following year saw the importation 

 of two very good terriers which found their way to the Newcastle Kennels; 

 Newcastle Model and Newcastle Rosie, both of which won firsts at New 

 York and did well elsewhere. There was not much life in the breed 

 however, though those interested soon woke up or were aroused to the 

 advisability of doing something. Dr. Ewing in the most energetic manner 

 took hold of the formation of a club to look after the interests of the breed, 

 and what can be done by concentrated effort was well shown by the entry 

 at New York for 1901, when thirty-one dogs were entered, duplicates 

 raising the entry to about fifty. Dr. Ewing won high honours with a 

 puppy of his own breeding, Nosegay Sweet William, the prefix being his 

 adopted kennel name. Another prominent winner on this occasion was Mrs. 

 Brazier, who now shows as the Craigdarroch Kennels, and has ever since 

 that year played a leading part as the prominent exhibitor of the breed. 



Other exhibitors during the past few years have been Mrs. G. S. 

 Thomas, the Brandywine Kennels, A. J. Maskrey, the Sandown Kennels of 

 Mrs. E. S. Woodward, Mrs. George Hunter and Mrs. H. T. Foote, while 

 there are quite a number of exhibitors who have but one or two dogs that 

 they enter at many shows in the East. It is surprising to note how exceed- 

 ingly popular the Scottie is with exhibitors who are prominent in other 

 breeds, but take to the perky little customer as a house dog. Of course 

 these exhibitors want good dogs, and these they also show and thus help to 

 swell the entries. The result" is that the Scottish terrier is vastly more 

 popular than many imagine, and at New York this year the 1895 individual 

 entry of thirty-nine was beaten by two, while the total entry with duplicates 

 was forty dogs and twenty-one bitches. As illustrative of the success of the 

 Craigdarroch Kennels it is only necessary to state that in the open dog class 

 Mrs. Brazier had three dogs with the prefix of champion and two in the open 

 bitch class had also the same title. Some of them are getting on in years 

 and were then exhibited in all likelihood for the last time, but that grand
