36 RECORDS AND REMINISCENCES OF GOODWOOD 



When the Prince Regent (afterwards George IV.) 

 visited Goodwood to hunt with the Duke, his Royal 

 Highness was so struck with the working of one of 

 the hounds, that in going over the kennels the next 

 day he offered the Duke five hundred guineas for 

 it. His Grace refused. " There never was a dog 

 worth five hundred guineas. If your Royal High- 

 ness will accept it, it will give me great pleasure." 

 The Prince felt himself unable to accept the offer, 

 greatly to the delight of Tom Grant, who related 

 the circumstance to me.
