' So access to your little brain I only get by winding channels; What mysteries to you were plain Had I the language of the ; Law's Ode to the Fox-terrier Raquet. IN dealing with this variety of the Fox- terrier the writer is in some respects at a disadvantage, though in others, no doubt, he is favoured in that the com- panion variety has been so ably dealt with by such capable hands, it being conse- quently necessary to deal only cursorily with many points. Mr. O'Connell, in his treatise on the smooth variety, comprehensively inquires into the origin of the Fox-terrier, and he no doubt has chapter and verse for all he says, though in reality it will be seen that he himself does not state exactly from what or how many breeds this very popular and exten- sively owned variety of the dog originally sprang. In mentioning the breeds which he beheves have been employed for this purpose he, however, omits to mention one which had undoubtedly a great deal to do with the evolution of the Fox-terrier. There can be no doubt that the old black-and-tan wire- hair terrier was England's first sporting.
