8 HOUNDS. 



foxhound, and to be the sire of his age. Almost as 

 I write these Hnes, comes the news that Daystar has 

 been accidently killed out hunting. Fortunately, 

 there are a lot of puppies by him at quarters ; 

 but he must be a great loss even to Belvoir. He 

 measured 23J inches, and was said to be the 

 best-looking hound bred at Belvoir since the days 

 of Gambler. 



Belvoir Vagabond '99 is a stallion hound in great 

 demand by other kennels, and is the sire of many 

 good ones at home. He traces to Gambler on both 

 sides, the only outside blood being the Grove 

 Harkaway, the sire of Hermit '90, his grandsire, and 

 Lord Lonsdale's Villager, the sire of Volatile '87. 

 Belvoir Racket '99 is a beautiful quality bitch by the 

 famous Dexter, and is the dam of many good ones. 

 Warwickshire Pedlar '01, a worthy representative 

 of a great kennel, is a much sought-after stallion 

 hound, his stock having taken several prizes at 

 Peterborough. Pedlar won the Champion Cup at 

 Peterborough in 1901. Blankney Ambrose '98, a 

 hound of great substance by Belvoir Falcon '93, has 

 been freely used by many kennels. He is quite of 

 Belvoir Gambler's type, whom he can own as an 

 ancestor t^ve generations back on his dam's side. 

 A kennel wanting bone surely could not find a better 

 hound to use, and, last but far from least, he is a 

 sterling foxhound.
