VISCOUNT GALWAY'S HOUNDS. 149 



I had — and among my favourite bitches were the 

 following : — Fairmaid (1870-1880), Caroline (1874- 

 1882), Termagant (1876-1885), Ransom {1879- 

 1885), Captive (1881-1890), Alice (1884-1890), 

 Hebe (1885-1892), Primrose (1888-1897), Abbess 

 (1893-1902), Patience (1894-1901), Spinster (1896- 

 1904), Dashaway (1898-1904), Aspen (1900-1907), 

 and Snowdrop (1901-1907). 



Some of my best and favourite hunters on 

 which I hunted the hounds were Stopgap (chest- 

 nut, 1874-1883), Rajah (bay, 1875-1882), Bangles 

 (black mare, 1878-1890), Nottingham (brown, 

 1878-1884), Bridegroom (bay, 1879-1887), Beacons- 

 field (chestnut, 1881-1887), Cigar (brown, 1889- 

 1895), Stanley (brown, 1889-1899), Killard (chest- 

 nut, 1895-1902), Oyster (bay, 1896-1907), A.D.C. 

 (brown, 1897-1907), Oak Apple (bay mare, 1898- 

 1906), The King (brown, 1901-1907), and Dives 

 (bay, 1903-1907). 



I am glad to know that on giving up the 

 country, it was better stocked with foxes than when 

 I took it, and no Master has ever had greater 

 support from tenant farmers all over the country 

 than I have. 



I should wish now to thank again all my true 

 friends, land-owners and others (some of them non- 

 hunting men) for the assistance and support they 

 gave me during all these years, and I can only 

 hope that all those who hunted, enjoyed the good 

 runs we had together, as much as I did.
