*“ As promising a puppy,’ said he, stepping back and 
measuring him from muzzle to stern at a glance, 4 as ever 
we bred.’ 
“ * If he only turns out as good as he looks, sir,’ replied 
Hnrrv, 'we shall never improve upon him.’ 
“ He was right : we never did. 
44 * What is tho matter with Rubicon’s near fore-feet ?' 
asked tho squiro ns the hound limped towards him. 
“ ‘ It's cut a little, sir, I think,’ said Ilarry ; but his face 
crimsoned as he spoke, and I saw ho was not quite certain 
about the cause. 
“ In a moment Rubicon’s foot was in the squire's hand. 
“‘A too is dislocated.' observed our master in a very 
different voice and manner to that in which he had been 
speaking, 4 and it was your business to know it.’ 
“ Harry coughed and stammered something about ‘ think- 
ing it was only a cut.’ 
“ 4 It’s part of your duty,’ said the squire sternly, ‘ to exa- 
mine carefully every hound after his day’s work. Let me 
hear no more of thoughts upon the subject.’ 
“ Harry’s face became a little more of tho turkey gobbler 
colour; but ho said nothing more. It was tho wisest plan 
he could adopt when our master’s blood was u little warm. 
‘‘‘What is that red spot on Levity’s flank?’ inquired 
ho, ns ha laid a hand upon her nose. 
44 4 A little heat, sir,' said Harry, anything but at easo. 
“‘Much noire than there ought to bo,’ replied our 
master. 4 Cool her, and lot her stay at home to-morrow.’ 
“After examining every hound, the squire doffed his 
frock, and smoothed down Hurry’s hackles by saying, as ho 
crossed the threshold of the kennel door, 4 Except when you 
think, instead of learning beyond a doubt, I never find 
cause for complaint either in the field or the kennel.’ 
“ Harry lifted his hat, and both master and servant 
parted, none the worse friends for the slight but wliole- 
fiomo correction of a fault one bad given and tho other had 
received. ” 
41 1 mention these few particulars,” said Tom Pitts, “to 
Jet you know that a M. F. H., if lie understands his dooties, 
and isn’t too fat or lazy to do ’em, ought to show overybody 
that he’s a master of his business, and is’nt above giving 
his attention to the smullest links in tho chain of his manage- 
ment.’’ 
As the ex-whipper-in appeared to have come to a break in 
his narrative, John Brown — that thriving young dairyman 
— after two abortive attempts upon his courage, determined 
to put a question. 
“ Do you chance to remember, Tom,” said he, “ the first 
time your old pal there ” — the dispenser of cream, milk, unri 
fresh butter, pointed to the slumbering Vanquisher, forget- 
ful of fox-hunting, and by fox-hunters forgotten — “shewed 
the true grit that was in him ?” 
“Yes, John,” responded the ex-whipper-in, “ and arn not 
likely to forget it. You would be pleased, perhaps, to hear 
o’ t tie find and the finish of the first cub he opened at." 
The proposal met with a ready assent, approaching 
enthusiasm ; and Tom Pitts, satisfied with the sensation, 
drained the remains of u glass of some choice mixture 
patented as the widow’s own, and once more entered upon 
the pleasurable office of the Jolly Gardener’s first commoner : 
— Mr. Speaker. 
“ It was scarcely daylight, early in September, fourteen 
year’ ago,” said he, “ that we, in accordance with orders, 
jogged on to a wide, open grass field not far from one of our 
best and strongest of thu home covers. Leaning against the 
gate, leading from the bridle road by which wo came, with 
his sluck rein over an arm, there stood our squire, as usual, 
a little before us at cub-hunting. Pressing a foot into the 
stirrup, he threw himself carelessly into the saddle, ana said, 
* Who has examined this cover ? ’ 
“ 4 Tom Pitts, sir,’ replied Harry. 
“ 4 Where did you find the most billets? ’ 
f “ 4 In tho plough on the lower side o’ the wood, sir,' said I. 
“‘Then take them there, Harry,' added the squire, ‘ and 
let the puppies see the old hounds feel for the scent.' 
“ Upon coming to the spot just mentioned, I think' I see 
},j m »» — the old earthstopper directed the individual and 
collective attention of the assembly to his favourite, through 
the medium of a straightened forefinger — “winding a fox 
for the first time. It was in his heart, d’ye see, and unlike 
most of ’em he wanted iio old hounds to teach him to feel 
for the scent. I won’t swear he was the first to carry the drag 
into cover; but not one was before him as they got up to 
their cub, and rattled him along at a pace he never went 
before. The morning being hot, aud the seent good, the 
work soon began to tell upon the whole litter, which were 
now hard pressed by divided lots in all directions. 
“ 4 How many of them are afoot?” said the squire. 
“ 4 Three brace, sir,’ replied Harry. 
“ Our master then galloped towards where I stood crack- 
ing my double thong, when a varmint tried to break. 
“ ‘ Come from this corner,’ said he, 4 and let tho vixen 
go, if she will ; but stop the hounds that are on her line, 
and take them to Harry.’ 
“ Tho squire had scarcely given me the order, when out 
she broke, the hunch settled to her were stopped, aud with 
them I trotted off to Harry. 
“ In a close body the hounds now settled to one cub, the 
rest having dropped ; and if they did’nt get another up, it 
was a horse to a hayseed that into him they must run before 
many more tick-tocks of old Time’s tell-tale. 
“ At this moment he slipped away unseen from one side 
o’ the cover, where there was nobody to hold him in, and, 
being close to his brush, nearly every hound dashed at him 
across the first field before it was possible to get to their 
heads. 
“ 4 No matter,’ observed the squiro with a good-humoured 
smile ; ‘ the fault in their getting away rests with no one.’ 
“ Over a bit of grutse they carried a blazing bead; but 
threw up in un instant as they went through a thick quick- 
set hedge on to a fullow. 
‘“Let them' alone,’ said the squire, as Harry seemed 
rather inclined to lay hold of ’em os lie came up, 4 let them 
alone.’ 
“ Making thoir own cast, they tried down wind for some 
few score yard#; but not making it out, begun to get then- 
heads up, end look to Harry for assistance, when Vanquisher 
appeared to b»v« a suspicion that they might all have been 
a little too fast iu coming through the hedge. Trying back 
by himself, he poked his dom into the deep ditch full o’ grass 
and brambles on the other side, and sure enough there was 
the skulking cub. 
“ 4 Who-wb«op,‘ hallooed the sqaire, * wlio-whoop, my 
beautiful puppy ’ 
44 That was the way, sirs, Vanquisher polished off the first 
cub he ever opened at.”

O 
THE DULVEIIT0N HUNT WEEK. 
Sir, — E very one lias heard of Dulverton — tho sportin',’ 
Melton of Devon, with its wild moors und varied woodlands. 
But “Hark back,” let me tell you of our sport at this merry 
meeting. 
Tuesday, 7th.— Mr. Whidhorno’s at Comlie— Tho liijrht 
and morn very boisterous, still there were many of the right 
stamp en^or for a look at the neat South Devon Hounds. 
After partaking of the liberal hospitality aiwnvs afforded 
man and horse at Coombe, the hounds were thrown into 
Burriduo Wood— which, together with the beautiful valley 
of the Burle, was drawn blunk ; this was u sail disappoint- 
ment, and shows how unusually scarco foxes arc this season 
in theso covers. 
Thursday.— The Tiverton, at Kingsbrompton, the best 
rneei in tlieir country, anti, thanks to a sporting farmer, a 
sure find. Every hound is iu the brake. Many a pheasant 
rises here and there as the sternly pack advance. Mark this 
\e neighbouring vulpecides, when hard a whimper. “Yoi 
Bar rye- ter ; Elew — Blew— Elew,” screams John BuuK Tito 
brake seems on fire as the old man cheers Bum on. Tho 
ix breaks in view of t lie field, aud u splendid 20 minutes 
nrst up wood is tho result to Iiartdeftve— here he sbuls 
»hind ’em, and is earthed after a good hunting run of one 
our and half. 
Friday.— Tho South Devon at Withy pool, found irome- 
iutelv in Haswell wood, went away for tho forest,— hut belt'? 
jaded, turned over Huwkridge-comroon, over which no 
us raced best pace, thence to West-water and North-wontls 
;ross tile Baric to Wmsfonl-hill, and back to where ho 
as lonnd ;— again broke over the open. “lie goes to 
imensbuth," cries a M. F.H. ; and so he did. alter an 
id half best pace. Here every one expected lie must 
ut this wild moor varmint was not to bo handled hy talkmtf- 
n, on, streams the pack a well tried few with them- 
lie hardest ridora now began to nurse their nags; m !, "> 
ad already “ cooked their goose”’— still the pace is too g"0 
i inquire" particulars, und game indeed is the 
imhs the liill behind the Simonsbuth mines. Still 1">' 
urd on, over hill and dale to sandy way, here as trouDij 
i ul tipi v, steeds grow more select; a lucky half-dozen * 
old their place. The gallant puck still looming o' 1 
lawkridge-couunon, thence to the plantation, to 
ood, when the itoble fox again faced the open aci - 
rithy pool -hill. 
“ Oh pity the sorrows of the poor grey horse. „ 
1 is spirit is willing, but his flesh is too weak, uu.l our wot ^ 
.aster is forced to cry “ enough.” Hie pack u ' . 
ifficulty stopped, after three hours hard work. 
,x live to beat us again ! This is considered t. . ™ 
ie best run for 30 years, every horse beu.g^e^tcMo^
