94 Frank Beers ^ Huntsman. 



— from this one hound, Destitute, by Hill's 

 Brusher ; such a handsome and good litter. There 

 was a large entry ; altogether twenty-six couples 

 w^ere put forward, and that number has never been 

 equalled since. 



The Duke of Grafton was so anxious to secure 

 a good pack that new milk was given ad lihituni 

 to the young puppies, with remarkable results. 

 Many gentlemen visited the kennels to inspect 

 this wonderful entry, and, amongst the rest, 

 Mr. Foljambe, who was stone blind. Mr. Bevan 

 introduced me to that gentleman, who said that 

 he wanted to talk to me about Boniface, a dog 

 which was considered to be the best of the entry. 

 It is an old saying that " Seeing is believing, but 

 feeling is the truth," and it was really most 

 remarkable how correct Mr. Foljambe was in 

 every point of the hound. 



George Beers instilled into his son's mind the 

 great necessity of cub-hunting, and taught him 

 how to properly carry it out ; he told him never 

 to begin upon an old fox, but to stop the hounds 

 directly if they hit on one ; and when he was on 

 a cub to make him turn as often as his whippers-in 

 could do it, and so hold the cubs in one quarter of 

 the covert, to ensure a "cry" to attract the young 

 hounds.
