Most of the many admirers of Scottish Terriers will know the subject of this sketch, who has long been a staunch supporter of that variety, and shown ability and judgment in the typical stuff he has brought out from his kennels, I think almost without exception of his own breeding.

When the Captain left his old regiment (the Inniskillen Dragoons), with which he served in the Crimea, he settled down in Northam ptonshire, and has devoted himself chiefly to his favourite hobbies - horses and dogs.

When I mention the names of some of his dogs, many of my readers will remember what a good stamp they were. Amongst the best known are Burris (who took second prize at the Crystal Palace in 1883, at the show held in January that year). Champion Tiree (a very high-class typical animal, nearly black in colour, very showy, and winner of many prizes whenever shown), Staffa (a charming bitch), Rawnoch, Tiree II., Kilbeth, Scotch Reel, Queen of Scots, Knight Royal, Gipsy O'Brae, Scottish Jewel, Queen of Night, Country Lassie, Gay Scot, Royal Irvine, Special Scotch, and others.

To all who have the advantage of knowing him, I need not say that Captain Wetherall is one of those hearty, genial men whom it is always a pleasure to meet, and long may we have the benefit of his cheery presence at the gatherings of the Doggy People, with whom he is so universally popular and esteemed.

This slight sketch of the above-named popular fancier is accompanied by a lifelike portrait of him and a picture of Champion Tiree, one of the best Scottish Terriers he has owned.
