at the end of the season, the Quorn being 

 open, his lordship made way for Mr. Stubbs. 

 This gentleman evidently inherits his fond- 

 ness for the chase from his ancestors, his 

 grandfather having been one of its most 

 enthusiastic admirers, when Mr. Corbet's 

 hounds made the Warwickshire woodlands 

 resound with their melody. With his father's 

 pack, in the Ludlow country, he was entered

 happy combination of his father's tactics with 

 the more modern, quick, resolute decision of 

 Lord Gifford, whose principles he had fre-

 time his lordship was residing in the Ludlow 

 country. Being a light weight, and having 

 had good practice both in Shropshire and 

 Herefordshire, he possesses all the attributes 

 of a superior horseman, and the excellent 

 sport he has shown since he has been a master 

 of hounds ensures for him the unqualified
