HUNTING TOURS. 123 



son, Esq., of Springfield, Broadway, and it 

 will be a piece of great ill-luck if that excel- 

 lent sportsman and very liberal supporter of 

 foxhunting has not soon several more trophies 

 to bear it company ; with patriotic spirit, as 

 a volunteer, he is now walking one couple of 

 young hounds for the Berkeley kennels, 

 another couple for the Cotswold, and for the 

 Heythrop a single hound, which would have 

 been a couple if Jem Hills had not sent all 

 the rest out, previously to Mr. Wilson making 

 the offer. The third prize was given to Guilty, 

 daughter of Glider and Ornament, walked by 

 Mr. Bayliss, of Winchcombe. 



Much as I feel disposed to do justice to the 

 entry by enlarging on the excellence of indi- 

 viduals, I must content myself with mention- 

 ing the names of Prior, Saucebox, sister to 

 Stormer, General, brother to Guilty, and the 

 three puppies. Opal's last litter, which are 

 remarkably clever, and when furnished will 

 no doubt attain good size. Judging of the 

 draft from the Duke of Beaufort's, with 

 reference to those which have found favour in 

 his Grace's estimation, they must be superla- 

 tively good. 



There are few counties so highly favoured
