144 FOX-HUNTING FROM SHIRE TO SHIRE 



very good entry of both dogs and bitches. I think 

 I have the best young dog-hound I have seen for 

 a long while. He is by Belvoir Helper — out of a 

 Belvoir Candidate bitch." 



The Quorn put forward a very strong entry, 

 July 1911, there being no fewer than 31J couples — 

 10 couples of dog-hounds, and 21 J couples of bitches. 

 The judges were the Rev. Cecil Legard of Cottesbrooke 



Rectory, Northamptonshire, 

 who officiated for the sixth 

 year and remarked " that 

 the improvement was very 

 apparent, for Captain For- 

 ester very wisely stuck to 

 the Belvoir kennel for his 

 sires, the fountain head 

 of all excellence. The con- 

 dition in which the puppies 

 were brought before them 

 redounded to the credit of 

 the walkers." Ben Capell, 

 the Belvoir huntsman, was 

 the other judge on this 

 occasion, and he remarked 

 that the dog-hounds were 

 very good, but the bitches 

 were the best, and again he would say, " Walk 

 them for a month, give them plenty of liberty, and 

 then they will look after themselves." 



The first prize for dog-hounds was won b}/ Wel- 

 lington, walked by Mr Shaw, of Key worth, one of 

 the oldest supporters of the Quorn Hunt ; second 

 prize went to Comet, walked by Miss Black ; third 

 prize to Neptune, walked by Mr H. Parkinson of 

 Sileby. The reserve hound was Draughtsman, 

 walked by Mr Baldwin of Keyham.
