PETERBOROUGH AND THE FITZWILLIAM HUNT 7 



sented by Mr Thomas Parrington for the best 

 couple, dog and bitch, was won by Milton Saladin, 

 1906, a light tan hound wdth family characteristics, 

 well sprung ribs, good bone and substance, the sire 

 of Saladin being Potent (1901), a son of Wentworth 

 Proctor (1898), and Tynedale Ardent (1898) ; and 

 the dam Sanguine, a Peterborough champion 

 (1906), by Anah'st, out of Sacred, by the Duke of 

 Buccleuch's Somerset. 



The bitch hound shown with Saladin was his 

 daughter Saucebox (1909), from Tactless by Melrose, 

 a winner the day before in the entry of her own 

 kennel. The other packs that competed for the 

 Jubilee cup were the Cattistock, Cleveland, Essex 

 and Suffolk, Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire, Meynell, 

 Southdown, and Warwickshire. The judges were 

 Captain W. Peacocke, M.F.H. and Mr J. Maunsell 

 Richardson. The President for the year was the 

 present Earl Fitzwilliam, D.S.O., M.F.H. , who in 

 a speech at the luncheon, said : " It is singular 

 that in 1859 the cup was won by two hounds from 

 Milton, which were shown by Tom Sebright — • 

 Hardwick and Friendly — and that this year the 

 special prize has been secured by the same kennel. 

 We live in strenuous times, which appear likely 

 to become more strenuous, for they affect the 

 land, and through the land, fox-hunting. All 

 ought to look not only to the sport we are en- 

 joying, but to the future, and it is evident that 

 the future of hunting depends upon the behaviour 

 of fox-hunters themselves and the goodwill of every- 

 one concerned, whether hunting continues. The 

 countries which show the best sport are the 

 best organised in every way, and they are the 

 countries which concerned themselves most with 

 regard to the interests of the non-hunting as well
