214 FOX-HUNTING FROM SHIRE TO SHIRE 



borough winner by Belvoir Handel — from Twilight 

 (1902). Trojan as a second season hunter, was much 

 admired bj^ Mr H. Preston— who succeeded the Rev. 

 Cecil Legard in the editorship of the foxhound stud- 

 book. Trojan is a dog of some size and substance, good
