Tirzah (481bs.) was the best of the second Mariner 



and Titmouse litter very quick out of the slips, and 



fastest of all the bitches to the hare. She led Sea 



Foam to the hare when a puppy for the Waterloo 



Cup, and was drawn after an undecided course, and 



ran second to Ewesdale for the Bridekirk Cup. Mr. 



Thompson also bred King Death during the three 



seasons that he hired Annoyance. He had the choice 



of two puppies from her Canaradzo litter, and took 



that nice light runner Tullochgorum and Theresa (who 



never ran in public), while King Death, Armstrong 



Gun, and Gertrude were passed over to Dr. Richard- 



son. Tullochgorum (581bs.) was a Brampton Cup 



winner, and he and Ticket of-Leave (by Bridegroom, 



out of Shepherdess) were in the last three for the 



Altcar Stakes of 60 dog puppies, when Brundritt's 



Burgomaster won. Tullochgorum was very fast and 



clever not a stayer, but a rattling killer, and he gene- 



rally managed it in the fifth or sixth turn before the 



soft spot came out. Ticket-of-Leave (62lbs.) on the 



contrary was " a regular Lanercost for staying," rather 



short in the body, and so savage and determined, that 



he would go on when his feet were almost cut to 



pieces. He was a good Ashdown dog, and he won 



two cups in Whitehaven and Galloway. Mr. Thomp- 



son always considered Tullochgorum the fastest and 



handsomest dog he ever had, and Tirzah his fastest 



bitch, and in their trial the former had the foot of 



the two. 



Theatre Royal (481bs.) was the best friend to the 

 kennel exchequer, and always went best on plough 

 land. She was by Cardinal York, out of Meg-o'-the- 

 Mill, and of the same litter as Princess Royal, who 

 was given away as a puppy. Latterly, she had her 

 liberty, and required little training. As her trainer, 

 Willie Scott, said of Tullochgorum, she was "very 

 easy-minded." She was not long in showing herself, 

 seeing that as a sapling she turned up a hare single-
