A GUIDE TO THE 



Mr. Trelawny uses foxhounds, and when once the otter is 

 moved, they work him with more perseverance and courage 

 than any class of hounds ; deep water and a long day are 

 tests which prove their superiority : but they have too much 

 dash for finding the animal, and fling too freely over the 

 trail. A hound cannot be too close in his work to be a 

 clever finder. 



A very clever pack of otter-hounds, and remarkably well 

 hunted by Mr. John Collier, who may be considered as 

 almost amphibious. Mr. Collier^s son is one of the steadiest 

 men on a " stickle^^ I ever met with ; no otter can pass him 

 without being " gazed.^^ As a ^^look-below" he is invaluable 

 to the huntsman.
