This exhibitor has make herself such a power in the land wiih her team of Skye Terriers (which I think she commenced some years since with the purchase from Mr. Thomas Young, C.E., of some typical specimens) that her personality and that of her two charming sisters (her invaluable aides-de-camp) will be familiar to many of my readers.

To give a list of the specimens, many of them home-bred, which the Wolverley kennels have brought out would take up more space than I have to spare; but the number must be considerable, and the prizes and honours they have taken are past counting.

Mrs. Hughes came forward at a time when Skyes were in rather low water, and she has certainly done much to bring them forward in public estimation, and has shown her specimens in such form that more than once they have taken prizes as Best Terrier and as best Non-Sporting Dog in Show, and on one occasion her Champion Wolverley Duchess took the champion of champions prize in a class for Champions of All Varieties at one of the shows of the Ladies' Kennel Association.

This lady has been, I think, from the first, one of the active members of the Ladies' Kennel Association, and a generous supporter in the way of special prizes, etc., being one of its founders and a member of the Guarantee Committee.

A great reason of the success of this kennel has no doubt been the personal interest taken in the inmates by its owner, who always shows her dogs in good form, and their being invariably shown by herself or one of her sisters.

I am pleased to be able to give my readers a good portrait of this successful fancier, with two of her handsome Skyes, and add her name to the list of Doggy People herein. So many detailed reports of the Wolverley kennels and their inmates have appeared elsewhere, that I think the above slight notice will be sufficient on this occasion.
