ON THE FLAGS AND IN THE SHOW YARD. 249 



year is Genuine by Belvoir Student — Garnet, by Milton 

 Remus, her dam, Gossamer, by Bramham Moor Gambler. 

 She is very grood on a cold scent, having remarkable perse- 

 verance, and she has been bred from. 



Quite at the top of the tree is Woeful (1892) by Streamer 

 — Whimper, by Falstaff, her dam. Wishful, by Oakley 

 Warbler. Streamer was by Belvoir Gordon, a grandson of 

 Weathergauge, and F'alstaff strains back to Senator, of 

 whom there are two crosses in Weathergauge's pedigree. 

 Of him we read, ' Streamer was doing good work the whole 

 day ; a very good dog ! ' Of Woeful there is much mention 

 made in Mr Lycett Green's diary. One entry reads, ' Woeful 

 doing A I as usual;' and another states, ' Woeful doing no end 

 of work, as usual, working steady on a bad scent over plough 

 and driving ahead on good scenting ground ; steady through 

 riot.' Than this there can be no higher praise. 



Treasurer by Belvoir Treasurer — Thrifty, by Belvoir 

 Grappler, her dam. Testy, by Brocklesby Tapster, is a 

 capital hound on a cold scent, and is the sire of some good 

 hounds in the Morpeth kennel, hounds which are always at 

 hand to help a huntsman out of a difficulty. Honesty by 

 Belvoir Hermit — Glory, the dam of Falstaff made a hard- 

 working and industrious hound when he steadied down, his 

 nose and drive being all that could be desired. Dorothy by 

 Belvoir Dryden — Watchful, by Wanderer, her dam. Glory, 

 also distinguished herself by her drive and perseverance. 



Amongst home-bred hounds that have been used as sires 

 during the last few years must be named Steadfast, Marplot, 

 Saffron and Talent. Steadfast was by Belvoir Gambler — 

 Snowdrop, by Milton Solomon, her dam. Vanish, by Fencer, 

 a son of Belvoir Fallible who has been previously alluded to. 

 This is a rare combination of hunting and running blood, 

 and Steadfast, who was a capital hound in his work, was a 

 good deal thought of in other kennels as well as his own.
