. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. ACTRESS. Actress, No. 3915 in the Stnd Book and No. 6 on the bench of the current show. Actress was bred by Mr. Haldeman, of Philadelphia, and whelped on June 8, 1886. Her Bire was Hero III., a dog of good lineage and ber dam Nell was also of distinguished ancestry. Actress, or Queen as her mis- tress fondly calls her, was a likely puppy, and was carried through the ills of puppyfcood, with all the solicitude war- ranted by her merit.

Sweetheart, in pace, nose and staunchness, is much the beBt setter ever seen in California.
