52 O'er Crag and Torrent 



winning bitch puppy of this year, is an 

 exceptionally taking and symmetrical hound, 

 with irreproachable shoulders, legs, and feet. 

 However, it is a hard and somewhat invidious 

 task to pick out the plums from amongst 

 such a galaxy of good ones. All connected 

 with the Hunt are very proud indeed, as 

 well they may be, of their little pack ; but I 

 must not omit to mention how much I was 

 struck with the "apple-pie" order and most 

 perfect cleanliness of the kennels all through ; 

 it was strong evidence that the Huntsman 

 considered his duties a labour of love, and 

 certainly every detail connected with his 

 charges reflected the greatest credit upon 

 him. 



In conclusion, I must point out what I 

 conceive to be the real secret of the 

 success of this beautiful little pack. It is 

 due to the simple fact that the Master is 

 esteemed and respected by non-hunting
