THE YORK AND AINSTY. 107 



This is the only litter by Gordon, and we believe 

 Wilson was the first to use him as a stud hound. 



Of those by Belvoir Gambler we preferred 

 Barrator, a powerful puppy with good legs and

 year (1888). 



Vanity, by Tynedale Vandyke, out of Wanton, 

 and Lovely, by Tynedale Leicester, out of Glory, 

 are two smart cleanly bitches, but Sylvia is rather

 and neck, good shoulders and a strong back and 

 loins, and is the model of what a foxhound should 

 be. Wishful, by the Oakley Warbler, out of

 Belvoir Weathergage, is good looking and with
