A GUIDE TO THE 



to the Belvoir. Goosey has only " shuffled off his mortal 

 coil" within the last year or two_, and enjoyed^ to the day of 

 his death_, a handsome pension from the Duke of Kutland. 

 If he did not die in the Cottesmore kennels^ under Sir 

 Kichard Sutton_, he certainly passed the last days of his life 

 there. William Goodall is, perhaps_, one of the hardest- 

 working men alive. After hunting on Monday — no matter 

 at what hour he returns — he feeds his hounds, and then has 

 to ride to the kennels at Ropsley, a distance of fourteen miles. 

 Here he hunts on Tuesday, feeds, and hacks it back to the 

 Belvoir kennels ; then hunts on Wednesday. On Thursday 

 he travels with the hounds to Ropsley ; hunts on Friday, and 

 back again to Belvoir that night, where he hunts on Satur- 

 day. Goodall is full of energy in the field, and indefatigable 

 in his endeavours to show sport. His hounds, too, are always 

 blooming in condition, and none look better or brighter by 

 the cover side than the Belvoir. This pack was first estab- 

 lished in 1730.
