A Day With the Belvoir Foxhounds 147 



It seems to the writer that there is danger in the present 

 rage for carrying in-turning toes, short lower joints and heavy- 

 upright legs, too far, both for utility and looks. On the other 

 hand American hound breeding, as generally carried on in the 

 States, is so far behind the English standard that it seems 

 almost hopeless to discuss it. Still there is a leaven working 

 there that may in time accomplish much.
