Welsh Hounds. i8i 



and Mr. E. Buckley, at Newtown, Montgomeryshire, 

 both appreciate this variety, and to these two 

 gentlemen I am very much indebted for being able 

 to produce the illustration which precedes this

 the one the Hon. H. C. Wynn's bitch Lively, an 

 unmistakable harrier ; the other Mr. Buckley's 

 Landmark, quite the foxhound in character. The 

 latter is undoubtedly one of the finest hounds I ever
