256 FOX-HUNTING FROM SHIRE TO SHIRE 



improve the quality of its hounds. To the regret of 

 the Belvoir country, Sir Gilbert Greenall resigns the 

 mastership at the end of season 1911-12, Ben Capell 

 relinquishing the post of huntsman at the same time, 

 after an honourable record of service. 



The Duke of Rutland, acting on the advice of the 

 hunt committee, nominates Lord Robert Manners, 

 D.S.O., and Mr Thomas Bouch — ex-master of the 

 Tipperary and Atherstone hunts — to be joint-masters 

 of the Belvoir hunt in succession to Sir Gilbert 

 Greenall. The Duke of Rutland at the same time 

 consents to continue the arrangement, by which he 

 lends the hounds and kennels to the country. May 

 the beautiful "Ducal pack" show as good sport in 

 the future, as they have in the past.
