VALUABLE DOG S TO BE DISPOSED OF.— The valuable 

 cennelof dogs in-ported two years ago byMr.C. H. Mason will

if both packs is similar, but the 

 indigo blue predominates in T. G. T.'s; white, black and 

 j white does in Mr. liawlings's. United, the two packs make a 

 beautiful calico in the run. and can be seen a long way. Their 

 I music, is perfectly thrilling— there is the tremulous' scream, 

 I the wild and protracted whine, the loud and short bark har- 

 moniously mingled. Stonewall, a black and tan. i« Mr. Raw-

 back on the track just, run. over. This is a very serious ob- 

 jection. I saw him bring- the pack to grief' bv this folly and 

 the fox escaped. But Mr. Rawlings has three black and white 

 hounds by Critic, out of a slut from Judge Beauford's pack 

 (part. Byron) that I think is equal to Stonewall T. G. T.'s 

 Fannie, a red slut with white legs and neck, is a long way 

 ahead of all rivals. She covers the track and runs like ah 

 arrow. But Bcltie is the slut after my own heart. She hunts 

 like papa's old Bravo, a setter of the first magnitude, and 

 always gets the strike. She never wearies of doing well. 

 Plunder and Blunder I notice are generally ahead. T. G. T. 

 says that is owing to their style of running the fox. Thev
