264 HUNTING IN MANY COUNTRIES. 



note I ever heiard. He has, too, a wonderful almost white 

 second -sieaaon hound named Boaster, who is by Colonel Curre'e 

 Bloater from Frantic, by the Tivyside Finder. This Boaster 

 was first prize dog hound in his year, and has been in the 

 prize list at the Knighton show, but his feet do not please 

 all judges, and he waa last year a trifle wide at hia elbows. 

 Otherwise he is a big- boned, upstanding almost white hound, 

 and a perfect glutton for work. In December, 1920, when 

 he had just been entered, I saw him draw out fifty yards 

 ahead on tbe line of a fox, and Major Davies wrote me a 

 few weeks ago as follows: " Boaster is a marvel. I think he 

 is the best working dog hound I have ever bred. He drives 

 along like a lion, and has the best note, marks and bays at an 

 earth, is never idle, and has a wonderful nose. Plenty of 

 substance and good constitution. What more do you v-ant? 

 Hang the feet and elbows, he can shove along." 



That is a pretty good certificate of merit from a Master 

 huntsman who knows exactly what every hound in his pack 

 is doing, and who can value their work to a fraction. I may 

 add that Boaster was used early in life at the home kennel, 

 and that there are already promising litters by him at the 

 kennels.
