30 FOX-HUNTING FROM SHIRE TO SHIRE 



the best unentered bitch -hound the Grafton 

 Rakish about whom it was said in the pages of the 

 Field, " the finest foxhound in the show, and 

 Mr McNeill may well be proud of the fact that he 

 has won two championships (Reigate and Peter- 

 borough, 1911) with an unentered bitch." Grafton 

 Rakish is in fact a Coronation year star of the fox- 

 hound firmament, whose beauty will be remem- 

 bered for many a year to come, by Peterborough 

 pilgrims.
