This enthusiastic fancier began exhibiting some twenty years ago with a Collie. Since then he has kept Bull-dogs, Airedales, Bedlingtons, Fox-terriers, Dachshunds, Skyes, and Scottish Terriers, and his greatest successes have been with the two last-named varieties. He has won hundreds of prizes, cups, etc., at all the leading shows.

On many occasions his Scottish Terriers have won the prize for Best in the Show of non-sporting varieties; and at the Royal Agricultural Hall last year his Champion Balmacron Thistle carried off the Sixty Guinea International Trophy for Best Terrier of any Breed.

He has judged Scottish Terriers at the Crystal Palace and the Royal Agricultural Hall, and at the latter show judged the first classes ever provided for Roseneath Terriers.

Being actively engaged in the responsible business of banking, Mr. Wood has not much leisure to spend at dog shows; but there are few more energetic fanciers to be found in the ranks of Doggy People, and he enjoys considerable popularity in a large circle of friends.

I am able to give excellent portraits of Port, a great winner amongst Skyes in his time, and Champion Balmacron Thistle, one of the best Scottish Terriers of the present day, both owned by Mr. C. H. Wood, as well as a good likeness of their 'owner.
