200 HUNTING TOURS. 



good propensities are known, and, more than 

 that, the prevailing properties of antecedents, 

 when more success must follow than by 

 selecting superlatively fine symmetry, without 

 any further guide to the inherent perfec- 

 tions of nose, tongue, and constitution. To 

 repudiate such vices as skirting and babbling 

 is a matter equally important. The Belvoir 

 kennels have supplied much valuable fresh 

 blood through their Regent, Druid, Agent, 

 Trusty, Gambler, and Grappler, the Badmin- 

 ton through Foreman, the Brocklesby through 

 Vaulter, Lord Henry Bentinck's through 

 Warrior and Challenger, Sir Watkin William 

 Wynn's through Royal and Admiral. The 

 Honourable George Fitzwilliam's Bluecap and 

 Mr. Luraley's Render have also been patro- 

 nized. The chief dog-hounds of the kennel 

 supply an extensive list. Alfred, a very clever 

 hound, son of Alaric and Gadfly, is sire of the 

 huntsman's choice in this year's entry. Fair- 

 play, whose mother, Fancy, is a daughter of 

 the Duke of Beaufort's Foreman ; Fencer is 

 also one of the same litter. Reginald, by Lord 

 Scarborough's Reginald and Roguish, is the 

 sire of several superior entries ; Roguish is the 

 issue of the Quorn Fugleman and Rosebud.
