" Horses," the landscape in which was painted by 

 William ]\IarIow. 



In the Duke of Portland's collection at Welbeck 

 Abbey there is a picture by Sawrey Gilpin of a 

 " Hound in Chase"; the scene is an open landscape, 

 with tall trees and a wood in the distance ; it bears 

 date 1773, and the canvas is 61 inches high by 71^ 

 inches long. 



The Right Hon. F. J. S. Foljambe has in his 

 collection at Osberton Hall, Worksop, Notts., a 

 painting of the celebrated racehorse and stallion, 

 Jupiter, a son of Eclipse, which was executed by 

 Gilpin for Colonel Thornton. This picture, which 

 is 6 feet 8 inches wide by 5 feet 5 inches high, was 

 engraved by Scott for the Spo]'ts)iians Repository, 

 published in 1845 by Henry C. Bohn. 



The four volumes of Rural Sports, in addition 

 to the picture of greyhounds already mentioned, 

 contain ten e.xquisitely fine engravings by Scott 

 from Gilpin's pictures of renowned pointers, fox- 

 hounds, harriers, and beagles ; also a plate from 

 a clever picture entitled " Terrier worrying a 

 Fox." 



The Sporting Magazine for 1795, vol. vii., 

 contained an engraving from Gilpin's portrait of 

 Colonel Thornton's famous pointer Dash ; and the 

 vol. 54, for 18 19, contains a plate from the portrait 

 of the Earl of Derby's racehorse, Sir Peter Teazle,
