X THE DIARY OF A HUNTSMAN 



of the eighteenth century. There is good reason 

 to think that Bluecap was not very far from 

 Mr. Smith's type, and that Sartorius' portrait of 

 this famous Foxhound was more picturesque than 

 correct. 



The best part of a hundred years have gone by 

 since Mr. Smith handled his last Fox. We may 

 congratulate ourselves that he has told us in 

 writing how he did it, and as a Master of Fox- 

 hounds I should like to thank Mr. Arnold for 

 having republished these pages.
