THE GREAT LONDON EXHIBITION OP
SPORTING AND OTHER DOGS.

Yesterday, the second day of this exhibition at
the Holborn Repository, gave proof of its increasing popu-
larity, and we are gglad to say the arrangements are now
complete. The official prize lista have been issued. A very
large company attended during the day.
In the brat division (sporting do ) the entry of grey-
hounds was good, Mr. Hedge's red brindled dog Muasulman
taking first prize, and Mr. Bland's Prizefiower the second,
the latter being much admired. The bloodhound. gave a
large entry, and called forth great praise. Mr. Jennings, of
Pickering, Yorkshire, and Mr. Boom, of Loudon, took the
prizes in both classes, the former's Druid being a fins
animal, and Mr. Boom's Welcome, with her six pup!, com-
manding great attention. The owner estimated their value
at 500/. Pointers of both large and small breeds mustered
strong, Mr. Gilbert, of Kensington, with his bitches,
being in great force, and taking no leas than
three poises. There were more than '2O retriever., Mr.
Bishop's Tip, a fine specimen, being awarded first honours ;
Mr. Clark, of Trowbridge, running very close with his
Will, the epiaioe of the owner being shown by his adver-
tising his dog for s.de at 1,0001. value. The setter; bar-
riers, beagles, deerhounds, weenies, and other breeds used
for sporting purpose were all well represented. In the
extra class, formed for foreign sporting dogs, a special prize
was awarded to Mr. T. H. Reed's Brutus, a Russian re-
triever, the price of 500/. being placed upon him by his
owner.

_
In the sewed dirision were clamed "dap not used in
field sporta," and they mustered more than 150 animate.
Mastiffs of a fist-rate character produced ten entries to
maintain their claim, valued from IW. to Mr. James's
Lion, with I,OOW. set as a price on his head. Mr. Hen-
they's Wallace (Lady Franklin Russell's breed) took first
honours, end Mr. Smith's Prince second, Of Newfound.
lands there was a splendid show ; and, without doubt, in
this class were the best and finest dogs of all kinds in the
whole exhibition. Baltic is a truly noble animal, and even
to the uninitiated there was no mistake about the
" flower of the flock." lie belongs to A. !delis, Esq., of
Acton (a well-known cricketer), and wore the colours of
" I iZingari " round his neck. By the unanimous decision
of both judges and connonemus he was awarded the first
prize, when by some informality in the entry he was dis-
qualified, to the chagrin no lees of the judges than his
owner. There was no other course than to put Baltic in
en extra class, and he there received his just reward, the
first prize. He is two years old, and his owner estimates
his value at a cool " thousand." The Dalmatian, or spotted
coach dog, bad only one representative, Warrior, belougang
to Mr Day, of the Strand ; and there was only one sheep
deg, Mr. Appleby's Yop, " all the way from Tartary."
Terriers (black and tan) were in abundance—Scotch terriers,
bull terriers, sad all other terriers--Meson. Moodier, Tut-
vey, Goodson, Dimedale, West, itc. showing fine speci-
mens and gaining prizes. In "bulls," Messrs. Macdoo.ild,
Marriott, and others, were in great feces. The ancient
"pug," by many thought to be extinct, had four represen•
tatives ; Mr. Gilbert's Prince receiving the first prize,
Albert taking second prize, the exhibitor of the
latter being the " Female Blonilin " who lately
erased the Thames at Chelsea. The Italian greyhounds,
King Charles's spaniel., and " toy" terriers, were greatly
admired. lo the latter class, Mr. Becon's Kitty, value
321. 10s., took first prize ; Mr. Lydicote's Chelsea, a real
beauty, the second; whilst Miss H. Blanton valued her Billy
at 101. The Maltese terriers created much interest, Mr.
Ottaway's Rose especially, for it was a puzzle for the spec-
tators how it was possible for the animal to see its way.
Mr. Maadeville's Fido, however, took first prise, and
mint deservedly so. In the extra clam, for foreign
bred doge, the second prize was awarded to Baron
neweey's gigantic anima, according to the cata-
logue. "direct from Switzerland." In this class,
also, there was one entry which caused much attention.
Mr. nonunion's Prince, the American "nigger" bound, is
the sort of dog trained to hunt down the negro slaves of
America in their attempts to escape. Conspicuous was
Mr. Larder's Hector, a giant dog, which was • greet favounte.
He received so mire, oa account of his crom breed, which
was between a mastiff and a bull bitch. He is a brindle ex-
cept white toes; acrom the cl.est upwards of 12 inches in
breadth, and 2,4 inches in height to the top of the shoulder.
The sales of the various animals in the exhibition, so far
as they have been effected, have produced almost fabulous
prices, in mauy instances even as much as " high-mettle)
racers." We shall give • list at the close of the show of the
sides effected. Mr. Herren, the secretary, and Mr. Eyre,
the proprietor, were unremitting in their attendance and
courtesy throughout the day.

RIFLE MATCH. --SCIYFLAND AGAINST FRANCL
The riflemen of France having conveyed a hint through the
secretary of their " Tir National," that they would like to
try their skill against the riflemen of Scotland, Mr. Edward
Ross, the ex-champion of Wimbledon, has at once come
forward, and has challenged the best shot in France to •
match at various distances. We hope that the prompt
challenge of our young champion will be accepted. If so,
the match will excite very great interest in both countries.

Pannerralaxma.—We last week noticed that a
pedestrian, named Elston, had commenced the tilt of
walking 60 miles a day for six successive days, and we have
now to inform our readers that the young man completed
his arduous undertakiug on Saturday last, a little before 9
I a.m. The weather throughout the week was generally
unfavourable for pedestrian performances, and on Saturday
afternoon and evening there was incessant rain for
several hours, and about the time Elton completed his task
Is came down beautifully. This, however, did nut lull the
excitement of hundreds of men and boys, who stood about
in the drenching rain, waiting patiently over an hour for the
arrival of their pet pedestrian. He came at last, and al-
though pretty much exhausted, not more so than anyone
might reasonably expect to find him at the finish of a 360
mile walk in six days. Immediately on reaching the
Anchor Hotel he went to his room and changed his clothes,
and afterwards joined • numerous party of young people at
the hotel, and sang them several songs.—West Sauer Ga-
zette.

DOROLARIOUR SERlNAtinne.—ln the neighbour-
hood of Toulon a great many country houses have lately
been robbed at night during the abeence of the owners, and
the police from investigations made came to the conclusion
that the perpetrators of the burglaries were a number of
men who adopted the ingenious pretext of pretending to be
travelling musicians. They were accustomed to play guitars
and rnaudolines before houses, and when after a while no
one appeared, they inferred that the places were unoccupied,
and accordingly effected an entrance and carried off every-
thing of value they could rind. A number of police officers
were a few nights back sent to a house which the musicians
had not visited ; after a while the musicians arrived, endgame
a serenade, to which the policemen listened without moving,
so that the other. were tempted to enter the house. To
their dismay they were at once secured.
THE DANDY OF To-DAY.—But there mutt not be
passed over a variety of the genuine "swell" tribe—noble
to birth often, generally affluent, at least in means-- the
only remnant we possess, in this hand-working age—when
almost every man, high or low, ponce or peasaut, does
something, whether it be for good or evil—of the "dan-
dies" of bygone times. They are growing rarer every
day, like that intolerable old (and young) nuisance—the
"gent," who has been all but absorbed in the Volunteer
Movement ; but you may still see the perfectly listless, do-
nothing, care-for-nothing—l trust not -ter-nothing'
and yet what it he good for!—'dandy in the Grand Stood
on a great race-day. He is always exquisitely dressed
his hair and appendages are marvels of Truettism. His
jewellery is resplendent ; his linen irreproiteliabls. He
carries, wet or dry, a slim umbrella. Mr. John Leech has
drawn him in Punch five hundred times. I wish that he
could fix him to a woodblock, so that he pervaded society
no longer. He smokes eit he talks, in a languid, drawling,
kind of way, and wastes half of his weeds as he wastes
half of his words. He never knows what to do with his
legs. Hs does know what to do with his hands, and
thrusts them, nearly up to the elbows, into his pockets.
He corms to the " races" in the most elaborate equipage
and costume attainable, because it in "the thing." Ile
does not bet. It is a bore to bet. The men in his set
don't bet. He is quite unsusreptible to the excitement of
the race, and has just completed the leisurely adjustment
of his eye-glass by the time the winning horse ibk• passed
the post. He does not even take much interest in the
brilliant ladies in the carriages outside—save to remark to
a friend and duplicate that he has seen Baby Molvneux, or
Ada Tressiliao (nit Runt). and that "she looks older."
He does not in the least understand the rude witticism' of
the road homewards ; and at a heedful of salt more or less
attic being flung at him, returns a look of such calm bewil-
derment as to disarm the most practised "chaffer." He
has been known to take more champagne than was goo 4
for him, and to have gone to the length of assumiog a false
nose et the Cock at Sutton; but he goes to sleep when
tipsy ; there are always, at least, seven dandies as solemn
as lie to take care of him, and be come* to no harm. He
never comes to any good. The age of this silent, languid
dandy is from twenty•tive to thirty. I want to know what
becomes of him when he reaches middle age, or approaches
fogeyism. Does he emigrate! Does he enlist? Does he
expire from pure inanition! Does he take heart of grace,
and kit somebody, or do something, and approve himself a
Mao! Even girls who are worth anything don't seem to
care much about him, save as a butt to laugh at; and
although I have occasionally seen the languid and listless
dandy feebly struggling between billows of crinoline, and
carrying a gorgeous church-service to and front Belgravian
places of worship on Sundays, it is not with great fre-
quency, I opine, that his Common Prayer is opened at the
Order for the Solemnisation of Matrimony. I fancy that
when the dandy does marry, it is to one of those strong-
minded British femalm who are in the habit of trotting
their tall, gaunt, melancholy-looking, uncomplaining hus-
bands from one continental watering-place tr another.
