218 HUNTING REMINISCENCES 



Glancer, Worcester, Gameboy, Gambler, Triumph, 

 Forecast, and Commodore. It was said of Glancer 

 that he was a tremendous driver, and, like his ancestor, 

 the Osbaldeston Furrier, an excitable hound on a 

 catchy scent, he sired some good-looking daughters 

 for Lord Galway's kennel. Worcester, the same 

 age as Glancer, was not so handsome though an 

 excellent hound, much resembling his sire Weather- 

 gage in appearance. Gameboy and Gambler were 

 the choice of all masters and huntsmen. Triumph, 

 of the same year, was beautifully bred on his dam's 

 side, Tutoress being by the renowned Fallible. 

 Then there were younger sires who blossomed out 

 later into celebrities, namely, Gordon (1885) by 

 Gambler in his third season, and judged the fastest 

 hound in the pack ; Talent, another son of Gam- 

 bler ; Pirate (1885) by Proctor. Two old stallion 

 hounds by Fallible were General and Garnet, out 

 of Governess, a Weathergage bitch. Another 

 Fallible sire was Dash wood nearly the oldest 

 hound in the pack a model as to feet and legs, 

 and he was used much both at home and else- 

 where, siring two sons in the entry of 1887, named 

 Saxon and Shamrock. 



Gambler was the favourite sire at Belvoir this 

 season, and of the young entry the best was his 

 son Nominal Needy by Syntax, son of Grafton 

 Silence, her dam was Needful by Fallible. A grand 

 young hound all quality, truly made about his back, 

 loins, and ribs, with bone right down to his toes, 

 and straight as a rule. Whipster by Newsman was 

 the best hound in the pack to carry a line down
