DEDICATION. 



To John C. Straker, Master of the Tynedale 

 since 1883; John E. Rogerson, Master of the North 

 Durham since 1888; and Lewis Priestman, Master 

 of the Braes of Derwent since 1890, who between 

 them have held the Masterships of three adjoining 

 Countries for a period of just over a century, and with 

 whose hounds the author has seen much good sport.
