MR. TAILBY S KENNEL. 37 



up to Ram's Head, where he got to ground after as good a 

 gallop of six miles in 28 minutes as I wish to see. Strong line 

 and good pace. Found again in Keythorpe Wood, ran up to 

 Goadby, bore to the left, through Glooston Wood, back to 

 Goodby and Keythorpe Wood, where we gave him up after a 

 very hard day. 



Mr. Tailby's Kennel. 



In November, 1870, Mr. Tailby's kennel consisted of 

 50 couples of hounds, viz. : —

They included descendants from the original selection 

 made from the pack previously owned by Mr. Richard 

 Sutton — a draft from the Pytchley and a few couples 

 purchased from Mr. Collier, which were crossed with 

 hounds subsequently introduced from The Belvoir, Lord 

 Kesteven's, Sir Wm. Watkin Wynn's, and other kennels. 



At a recent interview, Mr. Tailby informed the writer 

 that his kennel contained a good deal of Cheshire blood ; 

 that he used to go and stay frequently with Sir. W. 

 W. Wynn, and thought very highly of this strain. 



The following selection will afford some idea of the 

 composition of the kennel at this date.
