34 THE AMERICAN FOXHOUND 



acquitted itself well. They did such splendid work under 

 adverse circumstances that Mr. Garrett was thoroughly satisfied 

 that he had found the hound that he would cross on his Georgia 

 Julys. He purchased the best dogs that Mr. Crawford would 

 sell, and began to breed to them. A few years later Mr. 

 Crawford died, and then Mr. Garrett bought the remainder of 

 his pack. Some of them were kept ; others were given to friends 

 in Georgia and Tennessee. After the Crawford hounds were 

 added, the Garrett pack included such famous individuals as 

 Bill Reid, Bullet, Rockwood, Speed, Julip, and Yenus. Bill 

 Reid is of the Sugar Loaf stock, but was bred by Mr. Grififee, of 

 Westminster. He went to Mr. James W. Green, of Pulaski, 

 Tenn. 



The Sugar Loaf blood is well grounded in Mr. Garrett's 

 kennels. He and Mr. Griff ee have some great champions of the 

 Gosnell-Plummer cross. Grey Bullet was bred by Mr. Griffee, 

 and he now owns Nellie, who, Mr. Garrett thinks, is the best 

 bitch in Maryland. She is high-born, handsomely marked, 

 cleverly formed and fleet-footed. She looks the part of the 

 queen that she is, and it is sweet to hear her clarion call as she 

 drives red Reynard over hill and dale. Nellie is a July (or 

 Gosnell), and Sugar Loaf (or Plummer) cross. She has twice 

 been bred to Trail, another beautiful Sugar Loaf -July cross. 

 Trail is related to Logan; the young hound who won the en- 

 durance cup and the championship all-age stake at the recent 

 meet of the Brunswick Fur Club at Barre, Mass. Mr. Robert F. 

 Perkins, of Boston, owns Logan. 



The story of Logan's interesting connection and career is 

 worth knowing. His brother Dan, a white and gold brindle dog, 

 who was sent by Mr. Garrett to one of his Southern friends, 

 made a great reputation in the field; he won the laurels in a 

 pack of eleven carefully bred Kentucky dogs — he ran them out. 

 The constant reports of Dan's singular performances, while in 

 the best of company as far as blood is concerned, caused Mr. 

 Garrett to look up his brothers, and other dogs of that particular 

 cross. He found Logan in the lower part of Carroll county, and 

 purchased him, and turned him over to Mr. Griffee, who ran 

 him with his pack, and found him to be all right. 



It was while chasing a red fox, near the Griffee farm, one 

 morning, that Logan mysteriously disappeared and was not 

 heard of again for three days. No trace of him could be had
