The pack was established about twenty years 

 ago by the present Master and two other 

 gentlemen, the nucleus being a few couple 

 from the north, augmented by drafts from 

 Ireland, Llandovery, etc. 



About the year 1894 the sole responsi- 

 bility devolved upon the present Master, and 

 he immediately, with characteristic energy

 the pack, sparing no pains to get the very 

 best blood ; and to quote the hon. 

 Secretary's words " He has greatly im-

 difficult to pick out a single hound that does 

 not possess these important points, and their 

 symmetry catches the eye instantly. The 

 thought at once flashes through one's mind
