DOGS USED IN SPORT 23 



Sporting Dogs only, great numbers of them being kept 

 in different parts of the country, and hunted as packs, 

 most of their followers being on foot, and often accom- 

 panied by some of the sportswomen of their districts, 

 as their pace is not so impetuous as that of their larger 

 brethren. Frequently they call forth a considerable fol- 

 lowing in the parts they travel over, and many cricket- 

 ers and others ("Dr. W. G." amongst others), who 

 desire to keep " in condition " during the " off sea- 

 son/' habitually attend the nearest meets of Beagles 

 as an agreeable form of " training."
