HUNTING TOURS. 419 



Straight on his legs, but I fancy he is a little 

 above the standard of twenty-three inches. 

 Vaulter, son of Villager and Brajela, a black 

 and white hound, with a clever intelligent 

 head and rare loins, is in every respect a very 

 smart hound ; this is another descendant from 

 Mr. Foljambe's kennels, through his Roister. 

 Nimrod, although only in his second season, 

 has been promoted to paternal honours, and 

 derives his parentage from Nettler and Gover- 

 ness ; an attractive rich black, white and tan, 

 is one of his distinguishing properties, and he 

 is very straight, full of power, with great 

 depth, and short on his legs ; altogether on 

 rather a large scale. Here ends the list of 

 the stud hounds. In their fifth season. 

 Painter and Paramount, sons of Villager and 

 Parody, are evidently something above the 

 standard twenty years ago prescribed. Part- 

 ner, descended from Ruler and Promise, in 

 his fouth season, is a nice stamp of hound, 

 and Remus, of South Wold extraction, much 

 resembles him. Gallant and Granville, in 

 their third season, the representatives of 

 Gambler and Fury, have vast character ; their 

 colours are antagonistic, the one being a 

 yellow pied hound, and the other black, white.
