HUNTING TOURS. 155 



ing great family character, by Lord Henry 

 Bentinck's Cardinal and Fortune. Coaster 

 distinguishes himself in his work to an un- 

 usual degree ; Crystal also deserves a word 

 of praise. Charmer, a very neat daughter 

 of the Duke of Beaufort's Comrade, comes 

 from a rare sort, her mother. Spangle, being 

 descended from Sultan, a very great favourite 

 with Sebright. His Grace's Comrade was 

 a son of Lord Henry Bentinck's Comrade, 

 than which there cannot be a better cross. 

 Dowager, from the Belvoir Druid ; Flexible, 

 by the Badminton Finder ; and Homily, by 

 Sir John Trollope's Royal, are all of great 

 promise ; and Symmetry and Sweatmeat, by 

 the last-named sire, speak well for the con- 

 tinued eminence of this highly celebrated 

 kennel. If I were to content myself merely 

 with the introduction of the gems, I should 

 do but inadequate justice to the pack. The 

 vast amount of symmetry they display indi- 

 cates the value Tom Sebright was wont to 

 bestow on that property. Now it is well 

 known that speed and endurance cannot exist 

 without true proportions ; these proportions 

 may not invariably coincide with the line of 

 beauty, but as a general principle they do.
