PREFACE TO THE SECOND VOLUME. 



When the first volume of the " Kennel Stud Book " was issued it was 

 ''intended to publish every two years the entries of young Hounds." 

 That, however, from various causes, was not carried out. 



At the earnest request of many influential Masters of Hounds, the 

 second volume is now produced, containing the entries of some of the 

 most celebrated old-established Packs from whence Sires are principally 

 sought, and so arranged that all pedigrees of both sexes can readily be 

 traced to their ancestors in the original work. 



It is confidently hoped that this volume may be considered of 

 value, and meet with sufficient support as to warrant a reproduction of 

 a similar work in future every two or three years.
