HUNTING TOURS. 105 



Gifford's pack, but bred at the Berkeley 

 kennels, and Redwing, a powerful roomy 

 favourite from Mr. Farquharsou's. Chaser, 

 Carver, and Comfort, the issue of Albion and 

 Cymbal, follow in the list ; the first-named is 

 spoken of as a most resolute hard worker. 

 Aimwell and Awful were the next presented 

 — the latter decidedly the gem of the entry ; 

 and on looking her over, I observed she was 

 just the sort that would find favour with Mr. 

 George Montagu, and all who know what an 

 excellent judge of hounds he is, and how fas- 

 tidious to please, will accept the description 

 without much further comment; but I must 

 not content myself without doing her ample 

 justice. She is a handsome hare pied bitch, 

 about 22 inches, short on the legs, which are 

 capital, powerful over the loins, with an ele- 

 gant, intelligent head, light clean neck, and 

 good shoulders. She is a daughter of Albion 

 and Riddle, and on referring back in the list 

 the " riddle" was solved. Riddle being by 

 Lord Portsmouth's Waverley and Mr. Wheble's 

 Racket ; and it is well known that Mr. Mon- 

 tagu had great influence in Mr. Wheble's 

 kennels. A smart-looking black, white, and 

 tan hound, Bouncer, by the Heythrop Pro-
