24 THE BELVOIR HUNT, 



Musters, It speaks much In his favour that 

 his Grace has considered him worthy of 

 the Belvoir horn. 



Referring to the old Hsts of the Belvoir 

 Hounds, I found that the kennels to which 

 they resorted for fresh Infusions of blood 

 were In days of yore Mr Pelham's 

 (the Brocklesby), Mr Noel's, Lord Mon- 

 son's (which were distinguished among 

 other perfections of their time for their 

 rich black, white, and tan colour), and Mr 

 MeynelFs. When Mr Heron resigned the 

 Cheshire country, the late Duke of Rut- 

 land Introduced that gentleman's pack to 

 the Belvoir kennels, and they consisted 

 principally of the Quorn descendants. 

 Subsequently, Lord Lonsdale's and Mr 

 Osbaldeston's kennels were searched for 

 celebrities, also Sir Tatton Sykes's,Sir Rich- 

 ard Sutton's, Mr Foljambe's, the late and 

 the present Mr Drake's, the Duke of Beau- 

 fort's, and, occasionally, Lord Fitzwilliam's.
