This gives an a\-eia^e which 

 Wicce.ssfid coininereial cnteriirise even in lie- inescnl dav ; 

 but it is a nolicealile fact that the setters Icteiied better juices 

 Ibun the pointers, wliicli must be ta.lccn as a proof thai tlic 

 breed was corniiit;- n;i lo a biaia>r position in |niblic estima- 

 tion, or possibly JMr.' Lambert's kennel was stronger in Setters 

 than in pointers. 



Tiie date of introduction of the setting dog or spaniel into 

 this country is not clear. There is' no special reference 

 lo him in "the old fn-e-Jt br'-s n'' f'nmile. - wliieh .criarded

As a factor in the conversion of the ancient spaniel into the 

 modem setter, Blaine throws out Iht^ suggestion that a cross
