is needless to say that hunting men turned up in strong 

 force to cheer the recipient.* 



In the portrait Lord Harewood is mounted on George, 

 who was supposed to be the best hunter in the country 

 in his day. The terrier was a present from Sir Walter 

 Scott, and was a pure - bred Dandie Dinmont, rejoicing 

 in the historic name of Pepper. He was a famous dog, 

 and went all distances with hounds ; and when he could 

 not travel home, he would quarter himself on some farmer 

 for the night, and return in the morning. Pepper is buried 

 in the east garden at Harewood. 



* Writino- to a friend a few years ago, Mr. Fox says: 'This morning a 

 ' very old friend, the Rev. Jacob Marsham, formerly curate to his father at 

 ' Kirkby Overblow, and a quick man after hounds once a week, sent me a pin 

 ' made of a fox's tooth given to him by the old Lord Harewood in 1837. They 

 ' found at Birk Crag, and killed on Blubberhouse Moor — one hour and ten 

 ' minutes.'
