A challenge

THE RING (canine)
The Era (London, England),
Sunday, February 18, 1844; Issue 282.

A challenge appeared in our last from Henry King, of Birmingham,
offering to back his black lurcher bitch, Gip, to kill rats, for 5 or 10
sovs ; the number was not mentioned ; but the bitch is open to all
England, to kill 50 or 100 rats, against any other dog that may be pitted
against her. The money is always ready at Mr. Samuel Russell's, the
Shakspere's Head, Queen-street, Birmingham.
