The Foxhound. 



tinuance of the high prestige belonging to Lord 

 Henry Bentinck's pack, now mostly identified as the 

 Blankney, is credited with a vast amount of merit 

 contributed to the Badminton, Berkeley Castle, the 

 Fitzwilliam, the Quorn, and the present Burton pack. 

 It now becomes a little difficult to name two more, 

 and I think the honour might fall on the Badminton 

 Flyer of 1839, as he gave the Fitzwilliam Feudal to 

 the hound world ; and the latter was the sire of 

 Foreman, sire of Forester, sire of Furrier ; and so we 

 can finish up as we started with a Furrier, in the 

 hound of that name, held in so much esteem by the 

 late Hon. George Fitzwilliam and George Carter, 

 and the ancestor now of a very big tribe." 



The Foxhound Stud Book, already alluded to, 

 first published in 1865, appearing periodically, and 

 edited by Sir Cecil Legard, is a useful and careful 

 compilation.
