HUNTING TOURS. 89 



vividly in remembrance. His colour was a 

 good black, white, and tan, with a fine intel- 

 ligent head, good shoulders, superior legs and 

 feet, capital loins, and that important deside- 

 ratum, in my estimation, a powerful thigh, in 

 which his progeny resemble him. This rendered 

 him of great value to impart propelling powers, 

 which I too frequently see deficient. He 

 stood full three-and-twenty inches in height, 

 but fortunately his progeny are rather under 

 than over that standard. There was a rare 

 little hound called Hannibal, a son of his 

 and the Berkeley Heroine, in the late North 

 Warwickshire pack, which every observant 

 attendant on those hounds must have known. 

 Corsair, entered in 1853, must also be dis- 

 tinguished with a bright star to his name, 

 as one of the most, if not the most, worthy 

 scions of bygone days. He was a son of the 

 Belvoir Clinker and Redcap, the latter by 

 the Brocklesby Ruler, a hound bred by Mr. 

 Foljambe from his Albion and R-osamond. 

 Clinker was a son of the Brocklesby Rally wood 

 and the Belvoir Caroline, and Mr. Foljambe's 

 Albion was a son of Sifter and Actress. 



The list for the current year enumerates 

 eighty -one couples and a half of hounds.
