CHAPTER XIV. 



Presentation to Frank Gili^ard. 

 Conclusion. 



It will be remembered that on the Duke of 

 Rutland's decision to discontinue hunting tbe 

 Belvoir country at the termination of the 

 season ending April, 1896, the announcement 

 that Frank Gillard would also tender his 

 resignation was received with much regret, as 

 it was thought by many that he would con- 

 tinue to hold office under a new regime, for a 

 few years at least, until the newly appointed 

 Master had had an opportunity of acquiring 

 topographical knowledge of the extensive 

 territory so long presided over by the noble 

 owners of the house of Belvoir. But such 

 arrangements were, however, not accomplished, 

 and Gillard severed his connection with the 

 pack.
