WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



.^r 



THE HOUND TROJAN. 



As this is the first time that Trojan ha.s been mentioned, 

 (see p. 72,) we shall here lay before our readers all the 

 particulars we have been able to collect of that most 

 extraordinary hound. 



In a letter signed Somerville, (vide S. Mag. March 

 Sth, 1806,) he states that Trojan was entered in I78O, and 

 hunted till 1788. Amongst some hoimds bought for Mr. 

 Corbet, by his brother, was a bitch called Tidings, and out 

 of her, by a cross with Lord Spencer's Blueboy, came 

 Trojan. He has been described to us as a black and white 



hound. VENATOR. 



' The blood of the Trojans,' was always drank after 

 ' The King,' in the Hunt Club Room, at Stratford. He 

 was one of the best hounds that ever challenged a fox, and 

 his blood has circulated most parts of the kingdom. He 

 was first entered to hare with Mr. Corbet's other hounds, 

 which were afterwards converted into a pack of foxhounds. 

 He would only look to a fox, a pheasant, or a marten- cat.
