Mr. Guest continued to hunt the country 

 at his own expense till May, 1900 — when he 

 resigned the Mastership. 



His Hounds, having been refused by the 

 Hunt Committee to whom he had offered them, 

 were sold : and thus, the famous old Blackmore 

 Vale Blood, which had been so carefully bred 

 by Mr. Digby, Sir Richard Glyn, and Mr. 

 Guest — and enriched by the latter, by the 

 purchase, in 1896, of the celebrated Brocklesby 

 Dogs — was dispersed over England, France, 

 and America, and was lost, for ever, to the 

 Blackmore Vale Country.
