WARWICKSHIRE ENTRY, 1891. 

 Lord Willoughby de Beoke. 



The yoiing hounds were not successful at Peterborough this year, but the old ones 

 carried nearly all before them. 



Trader, Trampler, Racer, and Rhymer won the prize for best two couples of 

 entered hounds, and with the addition of Hermit and Wildboy Avon the champion cup. 



For bitches. Royalty, Traitress, Tangible, and Patroness won the prize for best two 

 couples, and with the addition of Starlight and Hero won the champion cup. 



Hero took the cup for the best bitch in the show. 



in fear of coming to a canal or an unjumpable fence, and to bring the hounds 

 altogether, he blew them off in a road. It was not half a bad run, as Dane 

 Hole and the Stockton Allotments, the extreme points, are not exactly 

 adjacent.* 



* This was a very good ran, spoiled by a dense fog. " Brooksby " wrote an account 

 of it in the Field."— W. R. V.
