394 FIELD AND FEllN, 



Scotland "had not the pluck of Hughie when 

 lie got to his game ; he had too many hares in 

 his youth_, and let them live too long/^ Still_, he 

 was third in the North v. South match at Amesbury 

 Avlien Welcome ran up to Mocking Bird. As ill 

 luck would have it; he had a " No go^^ both with 

 Mocking Bird and Wicked Eye, and beat the latter 

 with only one eye. Despite this drawback, Mr. Night- 

 ingale considers his course with Wicked Eye " one of 

 the finest I ever saw; he beat her in working, and went 

 so straight and just from his turns; it was so true 

 worked ; each dog had her in turn." Dalton was 

 the dog who gave Hughie Graham most trouble, and 

 they divided the Broughton Cup after two no-goes. 

 He won the Plate the year Hughie Graham won the 

 Waterloo Cup as a puppy. War Eagle (who broke 

 running down with Wee \¥ee) , Mocking Bird, Japhet, 

 Staymaker, and Cerito were among the Cup 

 thirty -two ; and '^Hughie" killed all his hares except 

 the first. He never ran after his second Water- 

 loo Cup, in which he won one course with Cricketer 

 the Plate winner. " Hughie had great pace, and was 

 very close in his work ; he could drive and command 

 himself, fairly smother his hare, and frighten her to 

 death.'" 



He never " hit " well with anything of Mr. 

 Sharpens, but Wicked Eye, and their son Norman 

 Hunter divided the Cup at Lytham, but Mr. 

 Blanchard's Baffle was by him out of Wild Duck. 

 However, he did his duty, as he won £700 in all.
