Nature's Fitful Moments: sketches at the Terrier Club Show, 1890. 'Yorkshire Terrier; Clydesdale Terrier; Yawning...The sixth annual united show of the Terrier Club, the Collie Club, the Fox-Terrier Club, and the Toy Dog Club was held this year at the Central Hall. Holborn. There was a numerous collection of both smooth and wire fox-terriers, with a general evenness of merit. Messrs. Vicary's three-year-old bitch Vesuvienne, which had thrice before gained the challenge cup, was again the winner of the Fox-Terrier Club's prize for the best of the breed. The fifty-guinea challenge cup for the best wire fox-terrier went to the well-known champion Bushey Broom, bred by Mr. W. R. Mann, and recently acquired by Messrs. H. and G. Hopkins. The Society's medal for Dandie Dinmonts was won by Mr. G. A. B. Leatham's Heather Sandy...The show of dandies and Airedale terriers was unusually good...Mr. E. N. Deakin's champion, Newbold Test, carried off the honours in the Airedale classes. The medal given by the Schipperkes Club, Brussels, for the best dog or bitch of this breed in the show, was awarded to Mr. G. R. Krehl's Mephisto. The Old English, Welsh, Scotch, Irish, bull, Bedlington, black-and-tan, and other terrier breeds were well represented'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
