A TREATISE ON BREEDING 55 



same dog, so he was well inbred to a good old-fashioned strain, 

 while the only trace of Scotland Yet blood is through Sea 

 Foam, maternal grandsire of Howden. . Hence, if a dog by 

 Misterton out of a Clyto bitch were crossed with a bitch by 

 Greentick out of a Paris or Jester bitch, we should get a 

 grand concentration of running blood. The value of Clyto 

 as a stud dog was evidenced by his getting 33 winners and 

 dividers from his first season's puppies, and eight saplings out 

 of a Misterton bitch fetched 600/. at auction ; so the cross 

 was evidently appreciated. 



The difficulty is to find a Clyto dog whose efforts at the 

 stud have met with marked success. We cannot say we 

 altogether hke the running of the progeny of Clytorus, but 

 we should have no hesitation in using Holmby, and his first 

 batch of puppies were decidedly smart. His dam. High Opinion, 

 was by Good Authority out of H. P., and through the latter 

 (a granddaughter of King Death) he has a dash of Canaradzo 

 blood. Fury, dam of H. P., was a granddaughter of David, 

 and as Good Authority was by Howden (sire of Clytie, Clyto's 

 dam), we find very close inbreeding to the Tollwife strain, which 

 is very stout, physically and morally. This, then, is, in our 

 opinion, the dog to use to Misterton bitches ; he was a sterling 

 greyhound and won forty courses in public, setting a seal to 

 his performances by securing the Kempton Park Grand 

 Champion Prize. All the Clytos are distinguished for quality, 

 a matter of great consideration when we have in view the 

 tendency to coarseness shown by some of the Greenticks, 

 especially those inbred to Contango. 



Another useful dog by Clyto is Clyto IV., who has size and 

 substance, and is free from Contangp blood, his dam being 

 Governess, a thorough winner-producer, as when put to Green- 

 tick she threw Greengage, Greenstick, and Greenhouse, who 

 between them won over sixty courses their first season ; hence 

 Clyto \Y. should suit either Misterton or Greentick bitches or 

 those that combine their blood. A very valuable strain is that 

 of Cui Bono, who was a decided success at the stud. He was
