Also hunt part of Huntingdonshire. Lord Fitzwilliam^s 

 were considered to be the biggest-boned hounds in England, 

 not even excepting Mr. Horlock^s pack, which he purchased 

 for 2,000 guineas from the Father of Fox-hunting, John 

 Ward. The late Earl had them above 40 years, and was 

 distinguished as a most superior judge of the animal : his 

 huntsman was old " Will Dean.^^ Of Tom Sebright it is 

 almost needless to speak ; 30 years ago he hunted the Quorn 

 under Mr. Osbaldeston, and has ever since lived with Lord 

 Fitzwilliam and the late Earl. Mr. John Musters used to 

 say, that he considered it the highest compliment to his 

 talents to be compared, as he frequently was, with Tom 

 Sebright, as a huntsman. The country is divided into wood- 

 lands and grass, very wild, thinly populated, and holds a rare 

 scent.
