Rough-Coated Collie 365 



also got over Heacham Galopin, the sire of Wishaw Clinker. The good 

 done for collies in this country through the enterprise and rivalry of these 

 Western exhibitors cannot be fully estimated, but we had a foretaste of 

 what it may amount to through the successes of a few Western-bred collies 

 in very strong competition this year, a young bitch bred by Mr. Lepman 

 and shown by Mr. Trench as Thorndale Baroness being a deservedly 

 large winner. 



In the East we have had the return of Mr. Morgan as an exhibitor, 

 an event he signalised by purchasing the great English winner, Wishaw 

 Clinker, from Mr. Tait, of Scotland, and Ormskirk Olympian from Mr. 

 Stretch, Mr. Raper judged them at New York in 1904 and placed them in 

 the order named, but the opinion of our leading authorities on collies was 

 that Ormskirk Olympian should have won; that is how we would have 

 placed them, and considered it a somewhat easy win. It was a great day 

 for the Clinkers at that show, as his daughters, Brandane Ethel and 

 Rippowam Revelation, were the leading winners throughout the bitch 

 classes, after Moreton Hebe. Mr. Morgan's rival is now Mr. Samuel 

 Untermeyer, and not content with some very nice American-bred collies, 

 with Breadalbane and Faugh a Ballagh as leaders, he has also made 

 some important purchases abroad and has in Southport Sculptor an extra 

 high-class dog. 



Other exhibitors in the metropolitan district are Mr. M. Mowbray 

 Palmer, the president of the Collie Club, whose prefix of Rippowam is well 

 known; Mr. Preston, Mr. Lindsay, of the Lindsays whose names go back 

 to the early show days; Mr. Buckle, Mr. Hall, Mr. Mayhew and Mr. 

 Geraghty. Philadelphia has also a strong collie clan and a club of its 

 own, and, although Doctor Jarrett seems to have retired from exhibiting, 

 there are many good fanciers, such as Messrs. Kain, Fernandez, Heuer, 

 Romig & Flint, Henshall, Lightfoot, Doctor Konover and others. Boston 

 has also been for many years a good collie town, and the Copeland, Middle- 

 brooke, Murray and Westridge kennels are always factors at the Massachu- 

 setts shows; while Mr. Bascom, of Providence, is seldom without an entry 

 and has done much to keep interest alive in Rhode Island. 



The Canadian section of coUiedom has never until late years been of a 

 dangerous character. Mr. McEwen has been for long a supporter of the 

 breed, but his entries have hardly been of the class of those that we have 

 received at our shows from Montreal or Ottawa. Mr. Joseph Reid, of
