THE IROQUOIS 



Foxes are very plentiful and the Field is almost certain of a good gallop 

 over the best of footing whenever hounds go out, as the foxes hunted are 

 of the red variety and as strong and game as can be desired. 



Hounds run very fast on the blue-grass and it needs a clean-bred horse, 

 or one with a small infusion of cold blood, to keep with them, while the 

 Kentuckians are very fond of the sport and turn out in goodly numbers, 

 fifty per cent of them being ladies, most of whom ride hard and straight. 



The type of hound used by General Williams differs as greatly from the 

 type of hound used at Grafton as a thoroughbred horse differs from a polo 

 pony, and yet both Masters claim to have the true type of American hound. 

 The authors merely state this fact in order that their readers may decide 

 for themselves which is the " American hound."
