Although I regret I have not been able to secure a portrait of this fancier, I should not like to leave him out in my mention of Doggy People as both before and since his partnership with Mr. Ben. Walmsley, he has for many years been a staunch supporter of St. Bernards, and as breeder and exhibitor enjoyed probably unparalleled success, both with Smooth and Rough-coated specimens. A Lancashire man of independent means, educated for the medical profession but not practising, he has had abundant opportunity to devote himself to his hobby, which he has done with characteristic energy and thoroughness, making himself familiar with canine pathology, of which he probably knows sufficient to take high rank amongst veterinary surgeons, and which in the case of his large and valuable kennel has often proved of great service. He has had so many first-class specimens that it would be out of place in a sketch like this to attempt to describe them all.

DR. GEORGE INMAN'S ST. BERNARD CHAMPION VIOLA.

By permission of Our Dogs.

The first puppy he bought was from Mr. Hedley Chapman, by his Champion Plinlimmon ex his Lady Eva. She was registered as Isolde, and her name appears in the pedigrees of many of the "stars" from this kennel subsequently. He afterwards purchased her dam, Lady Eva, but she did not live long enough to do him much service.

Another early purchase was Plevna, from Mr. Norris-Elye (another St. Bernard enthusiast). She had a successful career, and became a champion.

Champion Parsifal, the sire of the beautiful Viola, was bred at this kennel, and is considered one of the best Smooths ever shown.

Champion The King's Son, although a little inferior in size to last named, is a very grand Smooth, and has not yet been beaten in bench competition. Strong in bone, with a good body and head, he is thought to be perfect in every respect.

Champion Kenilworth II. has acquired fame at the stud as well as on the bench. Amongst his progeny are Champion The King's Son, Champion Freia, Egmont, Famer, and Kurwenal.

He has taken seven championships, the Halsey Trophy, the Fifty Guinea Cup three times, and the Hundred Guinea Cup three times!

I will mention two of the bitches, both home bred. Champion Freia, a litter sister to The King's Son, first rate in colour, bone, and body, with a splendid head. Although still young, she has won three championships, the Twenty-five Guinea Cup, four times the Fifty Guinea Cup, and the Hundred Guinea Cup. Viola, another Smooth, by Champion Parsifal ex Woglinde, has won the Fifty, twice the Hundred, Guinea Cups, and besides, has to her credit the championship, nineteen firsts, and thirteen specials. She also has an unbeaten record, and is considered by many judges of the breed the finest St. Bernard bitch past or present.

Pages might be written of the specimens and triumphs of this kennel, but I regret that space will not allow me to go further into the subject than to say that some idea may be formed of the character of its inmates, past and present, when they have captured the following: The National St. Bernard Club Fifty Guinea Cup for Dogs, Fifty Guinea Cup for Bitches, Twenty-five Guinea Cup for Dogs, Pearson Bowl for Dogs, St. Bernard Club Halsey Trophy Hundred Guinea Cup for Dogs, Hundred Guinea Cup for Bitches, Clarke's Cup, and the President's Cup, besides numerous prizes of less value and importance at most of the leading shows.
