54 COURSING 



cleverly defeating Hughie Fearon in the Purse, was put out 

 by the speedy Plymouth Rock, though, had the hare lived a 

 bit longer, the verdict might have gone the other way. Struck 

 by the dog's good looks and his clever performance in the 

 previous round, Mr. William Ingram and the writer purchased 

 him from Mr. Hibbert. 1 



Unfortunately Macpherson himself is dead, but he has left 

 four good dogs to represent him viz. Herschel and Lance 

 Macpherson (out of Stargazing II.), Jock Macpherson, and 

 Greater Scot (out of Madge). Of these our choice would 

 fall on the first and last named, though their puppies have 

 yet to make their debut, and Jock and Lance have already sired 

 several good winners. We have never seen Jock, but some of 

 his saplings have not the best of legs. 



Having rung the changes on these three branches of the 

 Canaradzo family, we may find it necessary to breed out again, 

 and we must look out for a strain that is fairly remote, though 

 it is hard to find any good greyhound that has not the Scotland 

 Yet quarterings on his coat-of-arms ; but a few years back 

 Mr. Crosse owned a good greyhound in Clyto. A short study 

 of his pedigree shows a digression from the strongly marked 

 line that we have indicated, and he was a dog that got a large 

 number of winners, though few if any were of the very first 

 order. The most promising of his sons was perhaps Holmby, 

 and next to him Clytorus, who, after dividing the Plumpton 

 Stakes and showing a fine turn of speed, fell and injured him- 

 self so badly at Kempton that he could never be trained 

 again. His dam, Mabel, was by the Canaradzo dog Crossfell, 

 which proves the efficacy of the cross. Clyto himself was by 

 Caleb Garth, a dog inbred to David and going back through 

 his sire, Racing Hopfactor, to Senate, Hannah, and Tollwife, 

 and through his dam, who was by Brigadier, to Figaro. Clyto's 

 dam was Clytie by Howden out of Acute, the former being a 

 grandson of David and the latter a great-granddaughter of the

 dog. Miss Glendyne died in 1891.
