HUNTING ROUND MALTON. 209 



Some of the four and five-year-olds that were 

 being schooled at the Stud Farm, preparatory to 

 their being sent to the stables, were well worth 

 looking at. This was especially the case with 

 Wild Bee by Happy Land out of Beeswing, a 

 powerful short-legged mare, with well placed 

 shoulders and nice quarters. 



In the hunting stables are a capital lot of hun- 

 ters, that know their work thoroughly. Two 

 well-bred and good looking ones are Zulu and 

 Zero. They are by Happy Land out of Zuleika 

 by Morocco, and are descended from the late 

 John Holiday's famous old mare Dinah.'' Another 

 of the Dinah blood was bred by Mr. Bethel, in 

 Holderness, and is by Mapleton. This is a very 

 powerful mare with immense bone and deep 

 girth. 



There was a five-year-old horse by King 

 Harold, out of Malice, one of the Magic mares, 

 that will make a grand hunter some day. He is 

 not a very big one, but with his muscular arms 

 and thighs, well sprung ribs, powerful quarters, 

 and nicely placed shoulders, he looks far more 

 like carrying a heavy man through deep ground 

 than some of the fashionable denizens of the prize 

 ring. 



Then a five-year-old by Happy Land out of 

 Mischief was pointed out to us, and a nice horse 



'■' Dinah was by Emilias, dam by Lauercost, grandam by Bru- 

 tandorf, g, grandam by Sir Lancelot, g.g. grandam by Chanter.
