One of the very best Bulldogs of the day is this week ably depicted on our front page by our artist, Mr. R.H. Moore. Bromley Crib has made so many appearances on the show bench, and has been so often criticised in our reports, that a full description of him now would be superfluous. Our readers will be able to see for themselves from his portrait his many excellencies. He has enormous bone, a good deep chest, very typical head, nice short back, and is a well-furnished dog all through. He is brindle in colour, and was bred by Mr. Geo. Irvine, and as he was whelped in August, 1896, he is just in his prime, so it will be welcome news to breeders of the national dog to hear that his services are available for stud purposes. He was first shown at the Bulldog Club Show, in 1897, at ten months, where he took first in all the classes in which he was entered and the five-guinea special for best dog puppy. His next victory was at Cheltenham, where he carried all before him, and his owner there refused a bona fide offer of £300 for him. Since that his career has been on unbroken success, his wins including three firsts Bulldog Club, two firsts Harrow, first Birmingham, 1897, two firsts Cheltenham, first Leicester, first Northampton, first Bulldog Club, first Gloucester, first Kennel Club, first south London Society, 1898: championships at Northampton (under Mr. Ford), Bulldog Club (Mr. Crowther), and South London (Mr. Jackson), and premiership at Gloucester, besides the Bulldog Club's fifty-guinea challenge cup three times, the British Bulldog Club's twenty-five-guinea challenge vase three time, Berrie's twenty-guinea cup four times, Dewar's twenty-five-guinea cup, and many other specials, including silver medal, silver forks and spoons, etc., etc. The following is his pedigree, from which it will be seen that his breeding is of tbe best :-

Bromley Crib'96 was sold to an American, Richard CROKER, for £800 (he also paid £1000 for his rival Rodney Stone) on the 28th July, 1900. In January the following year, Bromley Crib fell through the ice and died of pneumonia.

COURSING
HAYDOCK PARK MEETING
1886
Source: Daily News, 8th April 1886. Page 3.

After experiencing several reverses this season, owing to stress of weather and other causes, the Haydock Park executive have at last been able to bring off a fixture in something like a satisfactory manner. The programme issued for the meeting which was commenced to-day was a formidable one, but, thanks to the lateness of the season, no difficulty was experienced in filling all the stakes; the important Spring Cup, for 64 all-ages, in which nearly all the cracks are engaged, receiving its full complement of entries. The weather broke rather unfavourable this morning, and a heavy rain which fell about the commencement of the proceedings rendered matters the reverse of pleasant. The attendance was only moderate. The coursing to-day took place on the Home field, where the hares ran very stoutly, and some grand trials were witnessed. In the Haydock Spring Cup Emperor effected a genuine surprise by his easy defeat of Mechanic, and Missing Link ran a very smart course against Mercer; and Phantom II, displayed all his old fire. Miss Jemison led Hand-in-Hand much further than was expected, Mr. Hornby's old bitch showing none of her wonted form. Madeline, after leading Christmas Day many lengths, allowed the latter little chance, as she finished a short trial with the kill. Odds of 3 to 1 were laid on Minnie Palmer, on of Mr. Miller's Misterton kennel, against Cranborne, although she has not shown any form to warrant this confidence. Cranborne, however, not only led her, but gave here a decisive beating into the bargain. Long odds were laid on Clamour, who is favourite for the Stakes, against Alec Loughlin; but Mr. Crosse's representative hardly went in his usual good style, and Alec Loughlin was contesting the course well until an unlucky fall put him out of count. Let Go ran a smart course against Phoebus, and Sourcerer displayed both pace and cleverness against Crosseus. The running in the Puppy Stakes does not call for extended comment, but we may say it was a very near thing between Bock and Lovelace in the Earlstown Stakes, the first-named rather unexpectedly getting the verdict. Rich and Rare, Aros, Birkdale, and Rockview all ran their courses in good style, and the same may be said in regard to the performances of Pomeroy, Bargoyne, and Powder Monkey in the Ashton Stakes. [Webmaster's emphasis.]
