Nature's Fitful Moments: sketches at the Kennel Club Dog Show, 1890. 'In the class for bloodhounds the first prize and the Rollo Challenge Shield went to Mr. E. Brough's Bono, while Mr. W. K. Taunton's champion Hotspur and Mr. Court Rice's Frigga won the chief prizes for mastiffs. Among the rough St. Bernards were many remarkably fine dogs, especially Mr. Roberts's champion Pouf and Mr. S. W. Smith's Lady Floris II. Mr. J. F. Smith's champion Guide was awarded first prize and 100gs., and his Sans Peur a first prize...Mr. Farquharson's Newfoundland Eastbury took first prize and cup; and his Angel, Watchman, and Leda also second prizes. In the bulldog class, Mr. Woodiwiss's champion British Monarch was first in the challenge class; and among other prize-winners was Mr. Beresford-Hope's Bedgebury Lion. Dachshunds were a good class, the first prize and cup going to Mr. Jones's champion Jackdaw. There was a fair show of Basset-hounds...Mr. Millais was first in both the challenge classes with Merlin and Flora. In the open classes, Mrs. Ellis secured two first prizes, each with her Napoleon II. and Xena; Napoleon also gained a special prize. The two Samoyede sledge-dogs exhibited by the Prince of Wales were much admired, and secured a first prize'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
