148 Horse and Hound. 



Virginia. One type, the long-legged, long-eared, 

 black and tan, large hound, came from Virginia, 

 and the other black and white, smaller and cleaner 

 cut in appearance, and though shorter in leg, 

 faster than the former, from Maryland. 



The present hound used by the hunt clubs is 

 an English and Kentucky product, though occa- 

 sionally the large, heavy, old-time black and tan 

 is still to be found in certain sections, with hardly 

 speed enough to keep his blood in circulation. 



There are many other strains of hounds 

 throughout the country that have won both upon 

 the bench and at field trials, such as the Good- 

 man, Whitlock, Pooler, and my own strain — 

 the Williams — but they are but descendants of 

 the Robinson-Maupin- Walker strain, with but 

 little, if any, crosses of outside blood in them.
