HUNTING TOURS. 259 



Besides those bred at the Quorn kennels 

 for next season's entry, he has procured an 

 unentered draft from Sir W. W. Wvnn's, 

 among which are two couples descended 

 from the Duke of Beaufort's Harlequin, and 

 several others by sires from the Duke of 

 Rutland's and Lord Yarborough's kennels. 

 Of their own breeding I was pleased to see 

 six couples were the progeny of the Worces- 

 tershire Sportsman, whose excellent parentage 

 can scarcely fail to perpetuate many valuable 

 properties. Sportsman is a son of the War- 

 wickshire Saffron, a hound I have on many 

 previous occasions described in high terms 

 of praise, and the Berkeley Charity, a daugh- 

 ter of Drunkard and Cora. Drunkard, a 

 son of Hotspur and Danae. Cora, daughter 

 of the Duke of Rutland's Chaser and House- 

 maid. Hotspur, son of the Duke of Beaufort's 

 Regent and Harlot- Sportsman, it will thus 

 be understood, was bred at Berkeley, and 

 went to Worcestershire in his puppyhood. 

 Honesty and Triplet have produced very 

 promising litters to Sportsman ; the former 

 is a daughter of Mr. Morrell's Hercules and 

 Tidings, the latter of the Pytchley Trojan and 

 Captain Thompson's Blossom.
