All tan should be darker at the roots than at the middle of the hairs, shading off. to a still lighter tan at the tips. 8. Legs.—Quite straight, should be of a bright golden tan, well covered with hair, a few shades lighter at the ends than at the roots. 9. Feet.—As round as possible ; toe-nails black. 10. Tail.—Cut to medium length ; with plenty of hair, darker blue than the rest of the body, especially at the end of the tail, which is carried slightly higher than the level of the back. 11. Weight.—Divided into two classes, under 5 lb. and over 5 lb. to 12 lb. Attempts have frequently been to establish the Yorkshire Terrier in the United States, whither some choice specimens haA-e been exported. But the climatic conditions in that country appear to be detrimental to most of the long-coated breeds. Among American fanciers Mrs. Raymond Malloch has possessed many good examples, and Mrs. Thomas has done much to make this variety popular during the past few years, succeeding to some extent in overcoming the difficulties of the long coat. Her Endcliffe Muriel is of exceUent colour and type, as are her more diminuti\'e Endcliffe Midge and Margery, while her Ch, Endcliffe Merit (known in England as Persimmon) has carried off a large share of the honours of the show ring. Mrs. Phelan's Mascotte is also worthy of mention, and Mrs. Senn's Queen of the Fairies is representative of the few really good products of American breeding. In France and Germany the Yorkshire Terrier has become popular as a lap dog, sharing distinction with the Iving Charles and other chicns de luxe au d'agn'men
