230 CAPT. JOHNSTONE S HOUNDS AND COUNTRY. 



Birdsall, out of Kantipole, is a very courageous 

 hound and good in his work. Like the rest of 

 the pack he has a lot of bone, but has more 

 quaUty than some of them ; and his big arms, 

 well sprung ribs, great depth and powerful loins 

 well fit him for a stud hound. His dam is a 

 Badmington bred one, and was a present from 

 the Marquis of Worcester. There are some 

 excellent puppies by him now out at walk, and if 

 he fulfils his early promise he will be one of the 

 leading sires in the pack. 



Granby, by Gaylad, out of Fallacy, has a 

 double cross of Lord Henry Bentinck's best blood. 

 He is a very hard dog, with good tongue, stands 

 over a lot of ground, and goes at a great pace. 

 Although only a one season hunter he has been 

 used as sire, and his progeny are very promising. 

 He is a capital worker, very persevering and 

 with a lot of drive, and is another example of a 

 hound entering at once. 



Three beautiful bitches are Majesty, Merrylass, 

 and Mindful, by Mountebank out of Bedrose. 

 Majesty is a very deep hound, with nice head 

 and neck, and great power as well as quality. 

 The dam of those three beautiful puppies — 

 Prodigal, Prosper, and Probity — she has stamped 

 herself as a first-class brood bitch, and her sister. 

 Mindful, a smart bitch, good to meet and with 

 capital loins, has also bred some good puppies, 

 but had not a litter in 1888.
