A most attractive lad of very strong type. Mid length wedge, strong, even lines, ears of good size, well spaced and flared, eyes almond shaped, well inclined, perhaps a little open, would prefer a little more depth to the blue but it is quite acceptable. Superior gently convex profile, firm chin and level bite. Well developed, firm body, matching limbs and tail.

1. DYKE’S MAZPAHS REBEL ROY. MN. (48b) 1yr 3wks.

Superior typed fellow with a long, distinguished, even wedge crowned by large flaring ears well aligned, slanted oriental eyes of good green. Profile smoothly aquiline, level chin and bite. Long, masculine body, elegant limbs and tail to match. Coat in excellent condition, chocolate gleaming and typically dark toned, white at just over the required one third, evident on mask, all four limbs, both thighs, right shoulder and all down underparts; some invasion of white around the edges of the chocolate areas.

2. HAMILTON’S PR EMERPUS HOCUS POCUS. MN. (37k) 4yrs 2mths.

Gentleman with a long, rather blunt wedge, needing a bit more width at the top between the ears which are, however, of good size. Eyes of good shape, deeply set and showing very oriental incline, olive green. Lithe body, matching limbs and tail. Coat slightly dry textured, sound rather cool cinnamon shade.

3. ALLISON’S TRELGANDORF TABACO LORD. MN. (29) 4yrs 2mths.

An old favourite, a gentle senior of very good type. Lovely even wedge, large ears set well upon it, eyes of good shape needing a bit more brilliance to the green now. Strong body, matching limbs and tail. Picture marred by the depigmented areas on the nose leather and paw pads and by the area of thinning over the saddle in his otherwise very good, soft chestnut coloured coat.

AC ORIENTAL NEUTER FEMALE NOT BRED BY EXHIBITOR.

1. FYFE’S PR BETABIL MY FAIRLADY. FN. (29c) 1yr 11mths.

Very attractive female with a good even wedge head, very good ears for size and alignment, eyes of good almond shape and oriental incline, clear green in tone. Very pleasing smooth arch to her profile, chin and bite line up. Body appeared just a little portly, but she as reluctant to unwind fully, slender limbs, tail needs a little length to balance. Excellent close, smooth coat, very even, sound light lilac that in this hall’s light showed just a hint of biscuit rather than pink to it.

AC SIAMESE/BALINESE NEUTER.

1. BUCHAN’S GR PR KEELOKAN KAI KAI MN. (32a) 3yrs 9mths.

Very handsome individual with a strong, even wedge, proportionate ears set well in line upon it, sparkling oriental eyes of good depth to the blue. Elegant patrician profile, firm chin, level bite. Super long, lithe body with limbs and tail in keeping. Close coat shows very good bright red tabby points with excellent contrast to the warm, off white body. Reached Imperial status on the day I learned; congratulations.

2. SAXON’S PR SHIMILEETA STONECOLDCRAZY. MN. (32 3) 3yrs 9mths.

Retiring laddie of good type with a long, even wedge head, large ears of good size and flare to complement it, oriental eyes of good blue shade. Profile almost straight, chin and bite level. Strong body and limbs, manubrium a little prominent but acceptable. Tabby points rather dark for chocolate and the tail rings very dark indeed, almost seal, body showing good contrast.
