The readers of that popular paper the Ladies' Field will remember an interesting notice of the above-named appearing in its pages some time since. Nevertheless, as one who has been a zealous supporter of Toy Spaniels, a variety which, in my opinion, has been in much need of patronage by some spirited and persevering champions, I should not like her name to be left out of my list of Doggy People.

THE HON. ETHEL LOPES'S KING CHARLES SPANIEL PRINCESS Z1SKA.

The Blenheim, Caress, appearing in the portrait with her fair owner, is very small, weighing only about 4 lb., although nearly eighteen months old when photographed, very short in face, possesses the coveted "spot," and has been much admired for style and quality. Bred at home by Hiawatha ex Modrida, she took second prize at the Royal Aquarium.

Her half-brother, Cymric, who is small for his sex, nice shape and colour, and a good deal like his celebrated sire Champion ' Rollo, took second prize Pet Dog Show, and Silver Shield of Ladies' Branch of Kennel Club.

Amongst this lady's King Charles Spaniels, Princess Ziska, by Champion Defender ex Lady Dore, has taken five firsts at leading shows, is good in head, face, ears, and colour, and not leggy.

Princess Zelva, by Son of a Gun, under two years old, had a wonderful time on her first appearance, capturing two firsts and three specials, including the Silver Shield offered by the ladies' branch of the Kennel Club and the championship. She is cobby in shape and size, with a good head, nearly flat, wide face, and is an excellent mover.

Prince Zerda, winner of four firsts, is a typical specimen of the variety, and in conjunction with one or both of his kennel companions has assisted in taking a number of brace and team prizes at some of the best shows.

There are other specimens not yet shown, but of great promise, belonging to this lady and her colleague, Miss Spofforth, but I think I have said enough to prove there are still some what our American cousins call "live" Toy Spaniel fanciers, and I hope they may succeed in equalling, if they are not able to surpass, some of the little beauties many of my readers will remember in the past, as there is plenty of room for more good Blenheims and King Charlies.
