276 HUNTING TOURS. 



Earl Fitzhardinge's Abelard and Airy, daugh- 

 ter of Mr. Foljambe's Albion, Abelard, by 

 Hector, already mentioned as the sire of 

 Holocaust. The good qualities of the Berke- 

 ley blood are eminently conspicuous. In the 

 following year's entry, consisting of five 

 couples, is Judy, a very clever bitch, bred 

 by Lord Fitzwilliam from Harmony and the 

 Pytchley Juggler — Judy's produce has been 

 already noticed. Among the lots purchased 

 from Mr. Drake, and in his sixth season, 

 is Lucifer, a fine old hound, nearly black, 

 with a head shaded with a light tan, remark- 

 able for its smallness, and, if I may be 

 allowed to introduce such a term, delicacy 

 of expression, portraying much amiability 

 of temper. 



John Goddard, who has now commenced 

 his sixth season with these hounds, began his 

 pupilage as second whipper-in to the ever- 

 celebrated Jem Hills, when the Heythrop 

 country was originally established, and in 

 the course of two or three years he gained 

 his first step of promotion, Mdiere he served 

 more than two terms of apprenticeship as 

 head-whip, very greatly to the satisfaction 

 of every one who hunted with those hounds.
