PETERBOROUGH MEMORIES, 1881-1909 23 



One of the Yorkshire kennels which have done 

 best of late years is the Holderness, under the late 

 mastership of Mr. Arthur Wilson of Tranby Croft, 

 with W. Metcalf huntsman. In 1902 their Handel 

 ('02) by Belvoir Handel, and their Dasher ('02) by 

 Belvoir Dasher, won three prizes in good company, 

 whilst in the lady class Holderness Sanguine by 

 Barrister from Stella won the champion prize and 

 was a nicely-turned bitch, showing the character- 

 istic sohd black colouring of the kennel, edged with 

 tan and white only on the extremities. 



The Cleveland, another famous pack from the 

 large-acred county, under Mr. W. H. A. Wharton's 

 mastership, has been a constant exhibitor and won 

 many prizes. The Marquis of Zetland's beautiful 

 pack, strengthened by Belvoir drafts, are well known 

 at Peterborough, with old Bridger Champion, the 

 white-bearded huntsman, showing them. The Bads- 

 worth in Mr. John S. H. Fullerton's mastership, 

 1895 to 1902, scored a win with a nice dog, Finisher 

 by Belvoir Dexter. 



Earl Fitzwilliam's Yorkshire pack, with Frank 

 Bartlett showing, won for two couple of dog-hounds 

 in 1897, these being Duster, Reveller, Damper, and 

 Glancer. The judges this year were Mr. W. E. 

 Rigden and Mr. H. E. Preston, who awarded the 

 championship to Warwickshire Tancred. 



In 1894 the Craven Vagabond ('94) made quite 

 a sensation by coming out top of everything, to the 

 delight of " a hunt resting in the membership of ex- 

 cellent sportsmen descended from county families." 

 This young dog, who was destined to make a great 

 name for himself as a sire, was by Warwickshire 

 Hermit — whose win we have mentioned — from Vola- 

 tile, the daughter of Rustic, also winning in a class 

 for two couples with three others of the same litter.
