The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 157 



Two very useful dogs are also included : 

 ' Velox/ own brother to 'Various/ and 

 'Valiant/ by 'Villager/ 1897, 'Dauntless/ 



1897. 



' Velox ' was used in the kennel a great 

 deal, and has left some useful stock. 



The draft of 1903 was smaller, and the 

 number "put on" therefore less. 



Two first-rate bitches,however,are included, 



'Delicate,' by 'Dexter,' 1895, 'Destiny' 

 1898. 



'Safety,' by 'Dexter,' 1895, 'Sentiment/ 



1897. 



' Delicate ' is own sister to ' Daystar,' and 

 she and * Safety ' are not only very good 

 to look at, but nailers in their work, and have 

 thrown some good whelps. 



A dog, 'Warrener,' by * Dexter,' 1905, 

 ' Whimsey,' 1900, is worth notice, as he was 

 used a good deal. His stock do not seem 

 to do very much until their second season. 



In addition to the above most far-reaching 

 and long-sighted action, the Duke was 

 responsible for the building of another set 

 of kennels, which are called the ' * New 

 Kennels." 



It was thought that the Old Kennels were 

 not very healthy, so he urged the Hunt 

 Committee to build some new ones, on 

 higher ground. Thanks to a most liberal 

 donation of ;£500 from the late Lord Masham, 

 a fund to defray the cost was started ; and 

 in 1902, some creosoted wood kennels of 

 excellent form, with a small cottage adjoining.
