Take, for Instance, the bloodhound, which 
always wears au expression o£ sorrow, or 
the pretty little fox-terrier, which has nil the 
airs of a dandy who has dressed to kill at 
first sight; or take, for that matter, the 
sheep-dog, with sagacity and shrewdness 
expressed in every twinkle of its beautiful 
eye. Lady Burdett-Coutts, and those other 
benevolent ladies and gentlemen who evinced 
such kind interest, in the welfare of our 
dumb friends, would have been delighted to 
see with what eare the want* of the animals 
were attended to, or rather anticipated— 
fresh water and food being always at hand 
and dispensed by an efficient staff of keepers. 
The Show was under the management of 
Mr. Henry Martin, the originator of these 
exhibitions in Scotland— exhibitions, let us 
add, which have given quite an impetus to 
the breeding of superior dogs north of the 
Tweed.

special artist has depicted: No. t.—Mr. T. 
Sharpies’ “Tart,” winner of the champion 
cup ; a dog with the fine, decided black-and-

R. Armstrong, Glasgow, which took first

SPORTING AND FANCY DOGS 
Tine Pictorial World of London illustrates 
and describes the Fifth Annual Scottish Ex¬ 
hibition of Sporting and Fancy Dogs, made 
in Edinburg, last month. After some humor¬ 
ous remarks about “Going to the Dogs,” and 
saying everybody went to the Show, the 
World continues: 
The dogs exhibited numbered upwards of 
501), divided into thirty-six classes. There 
were dogs for the hill, dogs for the hall, dogs 
for work and dogs for sport, big dogs and 
little dogs —in short, all kinds of dogs. Walk¬ 
ing along the well-arranged benches, the 
careful observer could uot fail to notice the 
wonderful difference both of form and ex¬ 
pression, attitude and action, of each breed.
