LONDON: PUBLISHED FOa THE AUTHOR, BY RUDOLPH ACKERMANN, 191, REGENT STREET. 1842 DEDICATION. TO JOHN MUSTERS, ESQ. MY DEAR SIR, Ix these degenerate days, when the so-called improve- ments in our social system, and in the state and appearance of the country, have well nigh put a stop to our sports and pleasures in the field, it may seem ill-timed to bring forward a work on a subject which appears to be fast declining in general estimation. — I am aware that it is so, but being a devoted admirer of all connected with field sports, I have endeavoured to rescue the science from oblivion, by giving in the following pages my experience in the chase, hoping that my labours may contribute to the pleasure and instruction of those true English hearts, who still love that noblest of British pastimes, Fox-hunting. " I cast then my book upon the waters," in hope, "believing that its vein is good ;" unwilling however to send it forth to the world without an introduction, I feel proud of the permission to commend it to the care of so dis- tinguished a pilot as yourself. VI DEDICATION. That you may long continue in the successful pursuit of that most noble enjoyment in which you have obtained such celebrity; and that you and all true lovers of fox-hunting may derive pleasure in the perusal of these few hints upon the subject, is the sincere wish of, My dear sir, Yours faithfully, ROBT. THOS. VYNER. London, April 25th, 1341. PREFACE. The biographer of Paley tells us, that " the subject of an author's first production usually discovers the natural bias of his genius." That such is undoubtedly the case with regard to the following pages, I think no one will for one moment hesitate to admit ; and although the humbleness of the theme may not claim entire exemption from the ordeal of a critique, and at the same time, however weakly the subject may have been handled, the author has this earth of consolation to fly to, the consciousness of having done his best to amuse, hoping also, that this short treatise may not be found totally devoid of practical information to the rising generation of masters of hounds, to whom " Notitia Venatica," is more particularly addressed.

Amongst the many pleasures which men are in the habit of cultivating, there are none more pleasing, or which more ennoble the mind than those which are connected with Natural History, as they daily afford us new objects for admiration ; flowers, plants, animals, &c., all discover the workmanship and surprising omni- potence of the great Creator of all things, and nothing bespeaks the presence of Divine Providence more than B 2 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. the animals which the Almighty has destined for the use of man, whether we consider those ordained for our daily food, or contemplate the surpassing beauty and mechanism of those which he has created to assist man in his labours, and contribute to those innocent amuse- ments, which were without doubt kindly given to him, to lighten the burden of his toils, which he is doomed to undergo in this life. In a word then we may say, that nature is the most learned and complete of all books proper to cultivate our reason, since she comprehends at once the object of every science, and never confines her instructions to any particular language, people, or pursuit. Who, I ask, is the most likely to enjoy and be benefited by such reflections ? the man whose early life has passed away pent up in cities, and whose mind and taste have been weakened and vitiated by every kind of refined luxury and excitement ; or his whose early days have tranquilly rolled on, soothed as it were by the various rural pursuits and acquirements which have so preeminently distinguished Englishmen upon all occasions of competition ? The accomplishments of the country and the town, or even of this country or any other, will, I affirm, bear not the slighest comparison. The greatest success may be commandtd at the card table, the billiard room, or the dice box, by a French valet, a waiter, or a groom ; — in the more aristocratic recreations of hunting, shooting, and fishing, the English gentleman alone stands unrivalled. But as of all these delightful amuse- ments, Fox-hunting will be the only topic affording matter for the following pages, I will at once introduce INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 3 my readers to the subject, humbly assuring them that they will not meet with a long and elaborate account of the natural history of dogs used in the chase, nor a tedious and philosophical treatise on the different pro- perties of medicines used in the kennel, but merely the straight-forward and plain course pursued in a hunting establishment, with the most approved methods of breeding and rearing the fox-hound, and preparing that noble animal for the chase. No wild theories will be introduced, but such information, as has been gleaned by the writer during his hunting career, will be humbly offered for their perusal. A subject so extensive and worthy of investigation I could have wished to be taken in hand by some person better qualified than myself; for my own part I have had little experience in authorship ; but having been in the habit of keeping a pack of fox-hounds, I have enjoyed many favourable opportunies of making myself fully acquainted with a knowledge of the various branches of the science gained by such an occupation, and I have neglected no opportunity of deriving what information I could, from those incidents which circumstances have thrown in my way ; fully compensated should I be if one single instance should occur, of either amusement or information being derived from a perusal of this my undertaking. Mr. Beckford has designated the pursuit of hunting by the title of an art ; and although I have classed it amongst the sciences, I hope the critic will excuse my enthu- siasm, as Mr. Locke in his celebrated essay, in speaking of the operations of the mind, compares its searching after truth, to hunting and hawking, the pursuit of B 2 4 FOX-HUNTING ON THE DECLINE. which, he says, constitutes the chief pleasure. That excellent divine Dr. Paley was a sportsman, and although his practice was confined to the " gentle craft" of fishing, he always spoke of sportsmen with respect ; he felt the inward delight which emanated from the enjoyment of the contemplation of nature and her various pursuits ; but while he acknowledged the pleasure he derived from such recreations, he was at a loss to express or even to discover, why he was thus amused, and declared "he never yet met with any sportsman who could tell him in what the sport con- sisted, who could resolve it into its principle, and state that principle."* It is no less extraordinary than true, that although the votaries of the chaste Diana are much increased in numbers, as each hunting season returns with the " cloudy sky" of November, still hunting is most truly considered to be on the decline. The noble science is not cultivated as in the days of a Meynel, a Corbet, or a Warde, and although some wealthy and staunch sup- porters of " the good old cause" are still left in the persons of a Moreton, a Scott, a Berkeley, and a So- merset, the rising representatives of our great aristo- cracy, have, I fear, far different allurements to the field than the cultivation of that noblest of amusements. It has been very often and justly remarked, that a man cannot hunt from a bad motive ; and with this opinion I most firmly agree ; and whether it be the desire to enjoy the most exhilarating of exercises, the innate fondness of " cofiee-housing," the harmless recreation of exhibiting oneself in a new scarlet coat and leather * Paley's Nat. Theol. p. 262. FOX-HUNTING ON THE DECLINE. O breeches, or the real " amor venandi" in the true sense of the word, which bring so large a congregation of neighbours together, as may be witnessed by the side of a fox cover on a hunting morning, it matters but little, so long as it tends to the increase of good and cordial feelings in a neighbourhood, and offers so strong an inducement to o;entlemen of fortune to reside on their property in the country. One of the greatest advantages held out in advertisements for letting a house, is its vicinity to any celebrated hunt, or its being situated in the centre of various packs of hounds; without which many houses in a retired part of the country would never find tenants. The average num- ber of sportsmen who are seen at a " favourite fixture in one of our crack hunting countries, is about an hundred and fifty ;* at a woodland in one of the " provincials," it is about thirty or forty ; and although in the motley crowd numbers of men of rank and for- tune may be found to give two or three hundred guineas for a horse (an extra fifty being demanded if qualified for a steeple chase or hunters' sweepstakes), yet it would be next to an impossibility to discover one single person who could be prevailed on to take the management of a pack of fox-hounds, or to contribute more than the price of a cover hack towards the sup- port of them. The present system of living two-thirds of the year in London, or in a foreign land ; that most insinuating and undermining vice of gaming ; and the * An hundred and fifty is named as the average number ; occasionally at some of the " crack meets," as many as three hundred men in scarlet may be counted. When the King's stag-hounds were taken into the New Forest, in 18j6, the number of sportsmen who daily attended them, might be computed at about three thousand, of all ranks and denominations. 6 NUISANCES OF HUNT COMMITTEES. meretricious luxuries of the Continent, have far greater charms to the young man of fortune, than the quiet and peaceful retreat of an old family mansion-house in the country. The love for the chase vanishes at the approach of the swallow ; and no more is thought of the hound, or the horse, until, by the rains of autumn, the ground is rendered sufficiently saturated for hard riding, an accomplishment which is now considered the only requisite knowledge in hunting for the modern sportsman. These causes, together with the high pitch to which political feeling is now carried in England, render it next to an impossibility for any one person to have sufficient influence to prevail upon his pheasant- feeding neighbours to allow the foxes to be preserved. A committee* is the order of the day ; the new mode of doing things by subscription is introduced, the niggardly system of retrenchment^ and curtailing is resorted to ; jealousies amongst the subscribers ensue, the subscriptions fall off, the foxes are destroyed, and * Committees, although now becoming very general, are frequently sad nuisances (except as regards finding the sine qua non) to masters of hounds ; and from the ignorance and conceit of many committee men, who are elected usually according to the length of their purses, owners of fox-hounds feel an irresistible jealousy at their interference. The following ludicrous anecdote is related of Mr. Nichol, when that gentleman hunted the New Forest. The first day his hounds hunted that countrj', and before he could possibly have become acquainted with one half of the usual attendants upon the N. F. Fox-hounds, when experiencing a run across the Forest, after begging and beseeching to several hard riders, who were wantonly pressing upon the pack, to no purpose, he let out at them in rather unmeasured terms, to the utter astonishment of one unfortunate wight, who claimed the privilege of exhibiting himself, upon the plea of being a committee man, and expressed his surprise at Mr. N. for using such dreadful language to one of his consequence. " The committee be d — d," said Mr. Nichol, " you are not worth d — mning singly, so I'll d — n you all in a lump." t In 1830 the Warwickshire hunt committee reduced the pay of the earth- stoppers to half, and the result was what might be expected, in about half the covers " no find." DESTRUCTION OF FOXES ON THE CONTINENT. 7 the establishment is generally broken up after a few seasons; the master of the pack retiring in disgust, having only half achieved what he so fondly hoped for, the possessing a pack of hounds bred under his own eye, and by his own judgment. The consequence is, that with such prospects in view, few can be found to take so thankless a labour in hand ; where neither profit nor honour are to be gained, who would be prevailed upon to waste his time and money in conducting a scheme which will inevitably lead to disappointment and disgust ? Few men of the present day have either the spirit or inclination to retain their hounds after a few seasons ; and when this generation has passed away, in vain will such men as the Duke of Cleveland, Mr. Ralph Lambton, or Mr. J. Villebois, be sought for amongst the sportsmen of future ages. In the earliest accounts of history, the amusement of hunting has been recorded as forming one of the chief employments of man ; and even at the present day, there is no country where the chase is not a fa- vourite pursuit. To England alone we must look for that most manly of recreations, the chase of the fox ; the manner in which that gallant animal is destroyed on the Continent is by the gun,* or digging him, with * The number of foxes shot in France, is, during some seasons, very great. Accordin^to the summary published in the " Journal des Haras," for August, 1837, the numbers returned as killed amounted to 14,791 ; besides wolves, old and young, 641 ; boars, 461. When travelling in Germany, in the year 1837, the author saw amongst other curiosities at Kranistine, which is the hunting Chateau of the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt, in one of the rooms, a very curious picture, representing a royal party enjoying the diversion of shooting wild boars in a small enclosure ; from which it appears that the animals were driven or enticed into a small space surrounded by net-work, and at one corner was built a room, through the windows of which the sportsman was enabled to show his skill in rifle shooting, without any inconvenience either from the wounded animals, or from the inclemency of the weather. This mode of diversion is now seldom or never 8 FOX-HUNTING IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY. a small dog resembling our crooked-legged terriers, in Germany called Dacks Hunden (corrupted into Taxles), or badger-dogs, and although both in that part of the Continent, and in France, many packs of hounds are kept, they are employed in hunting the wild boar and the stag, the " coup de grace " being in most instances given by the gun or spear. As I before observed, there is no fox-hunting on the Continent, with the ex- ception of two small packs, which hunt the fox after the English fashion in France, one near St. Malo's and the other near St. Omer ; the latter was formerly the pro- perty of a Mr. Whitnal, but now under the manage- ment of Mr. Woodbridge. But to return to my subject ; it was at the end of the seventeenth century that fox-hunting first became an amusement in England ; before that time the sport chiefly consisted in driving the animal to earth and digging him out or trapping him. Hunting the hare and stag are of much earlier date; we read in the practised ; but Mr. Bright, in his Travels through Austria, informs us, that so lately as 1814, a similar exhibition took place in the neighbourhood of Vienna. In mentioning the amusements with which the court were entertained in that year, he describes one which was designated by the title of a " Royal Hunt," and says that " the monarchs and royal personages who were to be the chief actors in this tragedy, provided with fowling pieces, placed themselves in certain stations within a large arena, which had been prepared for the purpose, several miles from the city, and was surrounded by accommodations for a large assemblage of nobility. Each of the sportsmen was attended by four pages, to assist in reloading, while yeomen armed with spears stood behind to protect them from any danger which might threaten. All being thus artfully arranged, a number of wild boars, deer, hares, and other animals of chase, which had been before provided, were let loose in succession, and the privileged sportsmen continued to fire, until the whole were destroyed, or the destroyers were weary of their labour. It may excite some surprise, but I was assured by one of the spectators, that, though all the monarchs were tolerable marksmen, none shot so well as the Empress of Austria, who always selected the hares as the smallest objects, and never failed to kill with a single ball. The ladies, it was said, entered with spirit into this amusement, and seemed delighted at the sufferings of a poor fox. which after being fired at till a!l his legs were broken, still gasped for breath." KING JAMES S LOVE OF HUNTING. 9 account of King James's journey from Edinburgh to London, in the year 1603, that " he left Newark on Friday the twenty-third of April, and advanced towards Belvoir Castle, the splendid seat of the Earl of Rutland, hunting all the way, next morning after breakfast he set forward to Burleigh, dining by the way at the seat of Sir J. Harrington. His Majestic on the way was attended by many lords and knights, and before his coming there were prepared train-scents ; and live hares in baskets being carried to the heath, made excellent sport for his Majestic, all the way betwixt Sir John Harrington's and Stamford, Sir J.'s hounds with good mouths following the game, the King taking great leisure and pleasure in the same."* The noble family of Manners, and the far-famed Vale of Belvoir, seem still to support their well earned celebrity for hunting. If the royal sportsman took so " great leisure and pleasure" in the train-scents and box-hares, what would be the extent of his delight in witnessing some of the severe bursts of modern days with the magnifi- cent pack of the present noble possessor of Belvoir Castle,t from Melton Spiny or Clawston Thorns ; * Nicbol's Progress. t Royalty Las been again attracted to and delighted by the hounds of Belvoir ; not by the cold arrangement of scent, and the hand-canter, which marked James's antique style of sport ; — but by the honest finding of a fox, " in Salt-Spring Wood," — the fast thing through Knipton Plantation, and the kill at Blackberry Hill ! Long may this splendid pack maintain its high character. Belvoir Castle, Jan. 5. — The hounds met at the stables this morning, which are directly underneath the lofty towers of the castle — there was an immense field. The general appointments of this far-famed pack excited the admiration of all strangers, and of none more than the Duke of Cambridge, who entered into familiar conversation with a number of veteran fox-hunters, and expressed his admiration at the condition and beauty of the horses, and the remarkably adapted character of Leicestershire as a sporting country. His royal highness rode a powerful hunter of the Duke of Rutland's and kept a good place throughout the day. The first fox found in Salt Spring Wood, threaded Knipton Plantation, 10 DIFFERENT BREEDS OF HOUNDS. what sort of a figure he would cut is quite another thing,J at any rate I fear he would not be gratified with quite so much music as he was entertained with by the old-fashioned Towlers of Sir J. Harrington. Since the commencement of hunting the fox in the open, so many different descriptions of hounds have been bred for the purpose, that to describe all the sorts, and to give a statistical account of the divers " strains of blood," which have been celebrated in their time, would be far too tedious for my readers, and quite foreign to my present purpose ; the following short account of the pedigrees of some of the principal packs of the present day, will suffice. The original stocks, from whence the most fashionable sorts are descended, are from the packs of the Earl of Yarborough (the family of Pelham having possessed hounds of the same breed for nearly two centuries) ; from that of the Earl of Fitzwilliam, which may soon be entitled to celebrate skirted the Spiny, and was killedat Blackberry Hill. The Duke of Camhridg^e received the brush on this his first initiation to Leicestershire fox-hunting. The second fox found at Musson Gorse, went away in gallant style to Woolsthorpe, returned in the direction of Redmile; but falling into a lock of the canal, he was taken out by the whipper-in, muzzled, and conveyed to the royal carriages for the inspection of the ladies. This concluded the day's sport, which gave infinite pleasure to all engaged therein, t The reader will perceive by the following true picture of this sporting monarch by Sir Walter Scott, the ludicrous style in which he was wont to pursue this, his favourite diversion. "A single horseman followed the chase upon a steed so thoroughly subjected to therein, that it obeyed the touch of the bridle, as if it had been a mechanical impulse operating upon the nicest piece of machinery ; so that, seated in his demi-pique saddle, and so trussed up there as to make falling almost impossible, the rider, without either fear or hesitation, might iucrease or diminish the speed at which he rode, which, even on the most animating occasions of the chase, seldom exceeded three-fourths of a gallop, the horse keeping his haunches under him, and never stretching forward beyond the managed pace of the academy. The security with which he chose to prosecute even this favourite, and, in the ordinary case, somewhat dangerous amusement, as well as the rest of his equipage, marked King James." — The Fortunes of Nigel. THE VINE HOUNDS. 11 their second jubilee ; the Duke of Rutland's, which were bred from the packs purchased of Mr. Heron and Mr. Calcraft, many years since ; Mr. Osbaldes- ton's (purchased by Mr. Harvey Combe for two thousand guineas) descended from the celebrated pack of Lord Monson, and also of Lord Yarborough's ; Lord Middleton's ; Mr. Warde's, and the Duke of Beau- fort's which have been in the family for a very con- siderable period, and are perhaps the best and steadiest pack of hounds of their day ; the sort known as the old Pytchley blood, so justly celebrated when the property of the present Earl Spencer, at that time Lord Althorp, were descended, in a great measure, from the old Beaufort Justice, relationship to which renowned dog, many of the best hounds of the present day can proudly boast.* There is a pack in Hamp- shire, called the Vine hounds, rather low, but possessing great power ; they have now been under the manage- ment of Mr. Fellowes, a relation of Lord Portsmouth, for many years, they were originally bred from drafts of the old Egremont blood, by the late Mr. Chute of the Vine,t (the hunt taking its nomenclature from that place) they have been much crossed by stud-hounds from the Duke of Beaufort's and Mr. Assheton Smith's kennels, still there is a great deal of the original cha- racter of the fox-hound (of days gone by) which is visible in no other established pack, an inclination to * Northamptonshire, so much celebrated in modern days as a hunting country, seems to have been equally adapted to the " crafte of venerie" in ancient times ; for " in the forty-third year of Edward the Third, Thos, Engain held lands in Pytchley, in the county of Northampton, by service of finding at his own cost, certain dogs for the destruction of wolves, foxes, &c., iu the counties of North- ampton, Oxford, Essex, and Buckingham." — Bluut's ancient Tenures. — From Strutt. t Over Mr. Chute's kennel door were these words, " Multurn in parvo." 12 THE VINE HOUNDS. be rough and as it is termed sour about their muzzles and chaps ; I saw them in the season of 1834, both in the kennel and in the field, and was much struck with their appearance and the excellence of their work ; they were most remarkably steady from all descriptions of riot, quick and yet patient, very determined and altogether particularly calculated for the sort of country they hunted, a cold, flinty, and cheerless tract with immense woodlands. If young breeders of hounds who reside in what are denominated the " slow" or " provincial" countries, would encourage that style of animal, instead of going to the most fashionable kennels merely because they wish to have a pack resembling in appearance those which hunt in the grass countries of Leicestershire, or Rutlandshire, they would have a much greater chance of possessing good as well as handsome hounds. When I say that the Vine hounds look rough in their faces, I beg to be understood that I am not describing that rough, vulgar-looking animal, so constantly seen in every village in Wales ; for although the hard and ferocious character of the fox- hound is stamped on them, a better-shaped, more powerful, and truly sporting pack does not exist in the world.* They are remarkably clear in their throats, and strikingly level. Hounds bred in a high scenting country, accustomed to be ridden over and pressed upon every day they go out, become much wilder than those which are left more to themselves ; and this practice being continued from one generation to another, engenders in them a second nature. When in * Mr. Muster's are chiefly descended from the Vine ; e. g. Dsdalus, Broker, Lionel, Sec. BREEDING HOUNDS. 13 the study of animals we consider nothing but their organic structure, we often fail to ascertain a suf- ficient cause for their peculiar modes of action, and for the way in which they perform the various parts assigned to them in life. The organization of all dogs is very nearly the same, yet their destination is far from similar ; the lot of one is cast in the thickest woodlands; while the life of the other is spent in an open country, the powers of speed being much oftener put to the test than the more refined organs of the nose. A difference in the powers and the dispositions of animals must arise from the force of education, as well as from the effects of reproduction. It is an old and trite saying, but nevertheless true, that " like begets like," and in no instance is it more applicable than in the breeding of hounds, if the vices or even colours fail to show themselves in the first, they are frequently perceptible in three or even four generations after ; still by degrees their natures become changed, and after a certain number of years, under the management of a judicious breeder, the pack which was charac- terized by its impetuosity, wildness, and skirting, becomes no less celebrated for its capabilities in hunting, and its steadiness in work. We might go one step further, and even say that the organic structure of animals might be changed. In the natural history of the dog it has been stated, that all that tribe descended from the shepherd's-dog ; and that from various causes after their removal to other countries, they became, some greyhounds, some mastiffs, some spaniels, &c. ; many of the fox-hounds of the present day, resemble greyhounds, much more than 14 HOUNDS NOT HAVING THE POWER OF SCENTING. what they are called, not only in their speed and actions, but also in their appearance ; and I see no reason why with the increase of their speed, and their similarity of shape to that animal, they should not also become like him deficient in the powers of smelling. Baron Cuvier in his Regne Animal, gives the fol- lowing reason for the greyhound being less gifted with the powers of smelling, than other dogs with larger and broader heads. In speaking of their long noses and flat foreheads, he says, " the flatness of the forehead is produced by the obliteration of the frontal sinuses from those cavities which are formed at the base of the nose, which being immediately connected with the nasal cavities, and covered with the same membranes as they are, increase the sense of smelling ; this is generally accompanied with an extraordinary slenderness and length of the legs, as well as a great contraction of the abdomen, phenomena which although not explained are without exception." If a person wishes to become the possessor of a pack of hounds, no doubt, as has been advised by Mr. Beckford, Col. Cooke, and other writers on the subject, the most approved plan is to purchase one which has been some years established ; by these means he will be able to command a greater share of success from the commencement of his career, than by going through the whole routine and drudgery of making a pack from drafts ; of the anxiety and trouble of which undertaking no one can have an idea, unless he may himself have been a labourer in that vineyard. To those upon whom the fickle goddess has less liberally showered her benefits, the more laborious path must be pursued, MR. OSBALDESTONS HOUNDS. 15 which nevertheless in the end is far the most satisfactory to a real and zealous sportsman. I have heard it remarked by several most excellent judges of hunting, and amongst them by the late Mr. J. Villebois, and also by Mr. Osbaldeston, who was certainly a most successful breeder of hounds in his day, that no man could breed a pack from drafts under eight years, and if he even succeeded to form a good one in so short a time, he would be considered a most fortunate person. In speaking of draft hounds, the reader must under- stand, that there are two sorts, the one comprised of those which are drafted annually from established kennels, consisting, generally speaking, of those which are nearly worn out,* such as begin to show vice in their work, and such of the puppies as are too large or too small, or in fact, are what may be considered inferior to the lot which are " put forward" by the owner of the pack. The other description, are such hounds as may be purchased from gentlemen, who are either reducing their hunting establishments, or who are forming one pack from two or three, of which they may have lately become possessed. The first are almost invariably the perquisite of the huntsman or first man in the kennel, the usual price being three guineas per couple, the proceeds arising from the sale of the second description more frequently find their way into the master's pocket, the price, of course, is higher, varying from five to fifteen and twenty guineas per couple ; drafts from * In some countries hounds are worn out much sooner than in others, in Hamp- shire, Berkshire, and part of Wiltshire, owing; to the immense beds of tiints which the pack are continually traversing, their feet are not unfrequently (juite spoilt and worn out after three or four seasons' work. 16 DRAFTING. Mr. Osbaldestons celebrated pack, in 1830, fetched twenty-five guineas per couple, that is, the twenty-five worst couples out of seventy-five couples, brought, at his sale, £625, a sum quite unprecedented for such hounds.* It is generally presumed that the more money a man gives, the better article he has a right to expect for his money, and the attempt to form a pack from the mere refuse of other kennels, will be found to be not only a most tedious undertaking, but in the end by far the most expensive, as so many must be purchased before a sufficient number can be collected to work together in anything like a hunting style, that the task will be endless. The usual draft of old hounds from the best of kennels are generally nearly worn out, and although they may be extremely useful to enter the young ones with, their services can only be looked for during one season. Occasionally hounds of the first, second, and third season are amongst the draft, these, I fear, may be considered invariably to be drafted either for vice, lameness, or weakness of constitution, sometimes those put away for lameness, in the stifle- joint or knees, may become sound after a summers rest, and turn out a valuable acquisition, and an invalid may recover after being removed to another kennel. If the second description of drafts be collected, the chances are that the purchaser has very nearly as good a pack, by the second season (though, perhaps, not quite so handsome or level to the eye) as the persons * In'May, 18 iO, the Duke of Cleveland's entire pack, consisting of 43 couples, only fetched £'262, rather more than 6gs. per couple. Twenty couples i)f them were well worth £500, but the lowness of the price might be altributed, partly to several packs heing ''or sale at the same time, but more especially to the infamous con- dition in which they were brought to the hammer. DRAFTING. 17 from whom tliey are obtained. New masters of hounds are very frequently young men, whose knowledge in the secrets and mysteries of the kennel is in the per- spective ; their great ambition seems to be, to be able to boast of beauty alone, without considering the more important qualities ; a well-matched and level pack, are certainly a most agreeable and beautiful object, and truly worthy of admiration ; but if in chase they tail, and are unable to run together, they are, in my opinion, very inferior both in appearance and value to those which carry a good head, without skirting or tailing, even if they are not quite so even in size. I have seen numbers of hounds of all ages, in whose shape and make the most scrutinizing and fastidious judge might in vain seek for a fault, and which were the very " beau ideal" of speed and stoutness, yet totally unable "to go the pace," or even to last out on a severe hunting-day without tiring ; nevertheless there is, no doubt, a good reason for it, which is beyond the knowledge of man to discover. The chief reason for which hounds are drafted from packs which may be considered to have been established, are, besides from their size not matching with the others, lameness, and having delicate constitutions, or being subject to fits ; their being wide or skirters, mute, noisy, that is, either speaking where a fox has never been, or throwing their tongues before they are on the line of the fox, when going from any point to join the leading hounds, forcing or driving at check without a scent from jealousy, being incurable hare hunters, and hanging or tying on the scent ; as soon as a huntsman perceives a culprit to be guilty of any of the above 18 BREEDING. vices, he should, without hesitation, draft him before the rest become contaminated by such evil examples ; no vicious habit is sooner acquired from others than skirting, being noisy, or tying on the scent ; a mute hound, particularly in woodlands, is more likely than not to spoil the day's sport, every time when he is taken out, and one that tires is a disgrace to his pos- sessor ; — some take to hanging in cover, the sooner they are hano-ed out of cover the better it will be for their owners It cannot be expected that what are termed the old hounds (that is such as have hunted), can be par- ticularly striking in point of beauty for the first season, it is quite sufficient if they are tolerably steady, and can run together ; new introductions invariably cause jealousies, and those which have been perfect Nestors in their former kennel, frequently become, by the example of vicious companions, the most incorrigible rogues themselves. Whatever hounds are to form a new pack, should be undoubtedly collected for some weeks previous to the commencement of cub-hunting, they should be thoroughly drilled, like the young ones, and such as show lameness, or vice amongst sheep (hares or deer may be excused at first), should be put back. Hounds which have hunted in wild mountain- ous countries, are all more or less given to the vice of killing their own mutton, from the impossibility of a whipper-in getting at them upon all occasions, and from the frequent and tempting opportunities offered them of pulling down the small black sheep when unobserved, which bounce out of the ling like a fox, which they resemble, not only in their wildness, but BREEDING. 19 in the length and shape of their tails. Drafts from such kennels as hunt the Mendip hills, the north of Yorkshire, or the hills between Wales and Shropshire, should be regarded with a jealous eye. If foxes are plentiful, they should be taken out two or three times before the puppies are entered, and such as are noisy or wide, should be put away decidedly for the first offence; old hounds which cannot run up, if steady and not noisy, may be extremely useful, at any rate for the first season ; and, after the young ones have joined them, no others should be received into the pack, even as presents : no one parts with a hound at that season of the year which is worth a farthing, and new ac- quaintances invariably create wildness and jealousies ; the constantly rating and flogging those which are wild and vicious, tend considerably to alarm and disturb those which are already steady, and from shyness and distrust, they become themselves reckless and ungovernable. " Dimidium facti qui bene ccEpit habet,'' is a motto which cannot be too forcibly impressed upon the mind of any one making his debut as a master of hounds. If you have sufficient walks or qviarters, as they are sometimes called, to enable you to breed your own, begin from a good stock at first ; there is plenty of choice, and bad blood once introduced, may blight the fruits of your undertakings for many years to come ; and above all, remember the words of the dying huntsman, " Breed em wi' plenty of bone."* A new pack will seldom allow of the breeding establishment being very extensive for the • Almost tbe last words of old Tom Grant, many years huntsman to his Grace the Duke of Richmond. c 2 20 BREEDING. first season, it is never worth while to breed from very old bitches, the whelps they throw are frequently small and weak, and those which can be really depended upon as being of a good family, and sound constitution, will, of course, not be very numerous ; never breed from those which are delicate, of either sex, and never propagate vice in your kennel, by breeding from any one which is notoriously wild and vicious, though he be ever so stout and handsome. After Christmas, such bitches as you may intend to breed from, should, on their coming on heat, be immediately put to the dog, and on no account should they be suffered to go to work again that season ; no bitch should be put-to after the first week in May, late puppies seldom do much good. Before the breeding season commences, care should be taken to have every convenience in readiness for the comfort of the bitches. Under the south-side (if possible) of one of the paddocks should be placed, at certain distances, numerous roomy dog- cubs, with small separate enclosures attached to each, made with hurdles, resembling sheets of paling in miniature ; the bars being nailed on perpendicularly, renders it more diflScult for the puppies to climb over, than when they are placed horizontally. Hither should be brought each dam, a few days after she has produced, and her whelps have acquired a little strength. When the bitches become heavy, they should be shut up at night separately, in dry, warm places, made for the purpose, where they can be kept very quiet ; here they may be allowed to whelp, and on no account should their puppies be looked at or handled, until some hours after they have come into the world ; it BREEDING. 21 is a bad plan to allow them much straw, as when the litter is too abundant, particularly when long, it is apt to get twisted round the necks of the puppies, and strangle them. Where wet nurses are used, they should be of the same period, as the milk of bitches cannot be made to endure like that of cows and some other animals. Three are quite sufficient for a mother to suckle, that is a moderate nurse, but a good stout bitch, with abundance of milk, will occasionally bring up as many as seven, Mr. Asheton Smith had a hound some years ago, named Governess, which was as famous for rearing puppies, as she was excellent in the field, and during the spring and summer of 1831, produced and reared two litters, amounting to fourteen, which did well, and Avent to quarters ; the first litter were by that famous hound Watchman, the second by Mr. A. Smith's Barrister ; a circumstance worthy to be recorded in the annals of breeding hounds. The usual practice of turning out the bitches which are in whelp for about three weeks to run at large, is certainly an excellent system, but nevertheless there are circumstances connected with it, that are a great draw back, unless properly guarded against, one in particular, of their gorging themselves with flesh where they can get at it, which produces surfeit, after having lived on the mixed kennel food ; therefore the flesh- gibbet should be enclosed in a small boarded yard made on purpose. It is an excellent system which is pursued in some establishments, to keep one or two cows for the exclusive use of the puppies ; moreover the huntsman is generally allowed the keep of one for his own family. At Brocklesby (the Earl 22 BREEDING. of Yarborough's), where every thing connected with the kennel department is conducted on a scale of the greatest liberality, the huntsman is permitted to keep two cows, and the whippers-in and boiler have the run of one each in the park. I shall not enter into the detail of managing and rearing the young puppies, it is so well known to every kennel man, who may have had even a moderate share of experience ; and I shall only add upon this subject, that the cleaner they are kept, and the better they are fed, the more likely they are to arrrive at maturity. If the distemper breaks out, those which are affected, should be immediately removed to a distance from the rest which may be healthy, or the most fatal conse- quences will ensue. Sometimes young puppies, without any apparent cause, become notty in their skins, and whilst their bellies are much distended, the flesh upon their bones visibly wastes away ; it almost invariably proceeds from the place where they lie being more or less damp, and nothing will be found more likely to eradicate the evil, than the removing them to a warmer and a drier place ; they should have tincture of rhubarb administered to them in small doses, and be dressed with a little of the common kennel dressing, adding but a small quantity of the tur- pentine, and totally omitting the spirit of tar.* Each litter should be separately marked, independant of branding them, or when they return from their quar- ters by having rambled about the country, and having changed their walks with others of the same age and colour, it will be totally impossible to remember how * See receipt for dressing. MARKING HOUNDS. 23 they were bred, or to which litters they belonged. These "private marks," as they are called in the kennel, are generally made on the lips, the deaf ears, or by cutting off the ear-buttons ; another way of marking them is, by dipping a thread into wet gun- powder, or Indian ink, and drawing it with a needle under the inside skin of the ear, in the shape of a T a V an X, or any other device which may take the marker s fancy — it is a neat way of doing the business, and attended with less pain than clipping the lips or ears. "It is the judicious cross," says Mr. Beckford, " that makes the pack complete. The faults and imperfections in one breed may be rectified from another, and if this be properly attended to, I see no reason why the breeding of hounds may not improve till improvement can go no farther." And in another place, he gives the following advice. " In breeding, I would advise you to be as little prejudiced as possible in favour of your own sort, but send your best bitches to the best dogs, be they where they may. Those who breed only a few hounds, may by chance have a good pack, whilst those who breed a good many, may (if at the same time they understand the business) reduce it to a certainty." The custom of sending out bitches to a distance, is attended with a very great expense ; nevertheless, it is the only path to be pur- sued, where the breeding department is on a large scale, and perfection in the pack is the grand deside- ratum. But at the same time the person sent with the bitches should invariably see the operation con- summated, as it is a well known and accredited fact, that the huntsman of one of the first establishments of 24 IMPROVING THE BREEDS OF HOUNDS. the day, is in the constant habit of introducing stud hounds of less celebrity than those selected by the owners of the bitches sent, and to prevent detection he invariably undertakes the superintendance of that part of the kennel economy, during the hour that the men are absent at breakfast ; so jealous is he of others obtaining his best strains of blood. Where the establishment is small, and strict economy is continu- ally jogging the memory, it would be an advisable plan to obtain a stallion hound of a good sort, from some quarter that can be depended on. A good judge in these matters might have many chances during the summer, of procuring one, or even a couple, which should be kept for the purpose until the following spring ; few owners of packs are in the habit of parting with a stallion hound, which is worth accepting, early in the year ; but in the months of May or June, a young dog of good blood, which may by accident have become stifled, or otherwise injured in his limbs, may generally be obtained for the purpose of propagation during the ensuing breeding season. Nothing would be more likely to improve the breed of fox-hounds, than prizes, to be awarded by compe- tent judges, to those who might excel in so delightful a speculation as showing a couple or three young hounds in a sweepstakes. The awarding prizes to the best breeders and feeders of cattle has been attended with the most beneficial results ; and I see no reason why improvement in the breed of the fox-hound should not be promoted by the same means. Some years ago, three celebrated masters of hounds,* made a practice * Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Wickstead, and Mr. Foljambe. SPAYING BITCHES. 'ZiJ of showing a few couples of their new entry for a prize, which was most appropriate, namely, a piece of scarlet cloth, to be made up into hunting coats. The practice of spaying bitches, so frequent in many kennels, although it has its advantages in augmenting the number of your forces in the spring, and in occa- sionally being the means of giving strength to the sickly, and reclaiming wildness, is by no means to be recommended : it is a most barbarous and cruel prac- tice, extremely difficult to perform, and, in many in- stances, the operation fails to have the desired effect ; not unfrequently bitches thus immatroned will show the same desire for copulation as others which have not been so cruelly tortured ; and in several instances, I have known them absolutely to produce whelps. In the spring of the year 1831, when the late Mr. Russel was master of the Warwickshire hounds, and under whose indefatigable care and directions that pack ob- tained so great a celebrity, the operation was performed upon nine couples of bitches, with what effect the reader may judge for himself, as out of the number several came on heat, and two or three absolutely produced whelps, but much deformed, as some had forgotten to bring their heads into the world, and others their legs, the two most requisite members for a young fox-hound. According to the ancient custom of hunting, the animals pursued in that diversion were divided into three classes. The first class (termed beasts of hunting), were the hare, the hart, the wolf, and the wild boar. The second class (termed beasts of chase), were the buck, the doe, the fox, the martin, and the roe. 26 RIGHT OF COUNTRY. The third class were, the badger, the wild cat, and the otter, which showed " great dysporte." The fox is also classed by some old authors among the beasts of " stinking flight," to distinguish them from the beasts of " sweet flight," as the buck, doe, hare, and some others. But as the fox is the only one of this number, the chase of which belongs to the contents of this article, I shall content myself with treating on the hunting of that animal alone, although I may occasionally refer to other beasts of chase, and bring forward anecdotes connected with them. The old laws relative to hunting, are supposed to have been introduced into this country by the Saxons, as no mention is made of their exist- ence previous to that period. Canute the Dane, was also much attached to the chase, and enacted many laws for the preservation of the game in the royal forests, granting at the same time to proprietors of estates, the privilege of hunting on their own lands and woods ; this prince also prohibited the exercise of hunting or hawking on the Sabbath day.* According to the accounts given by various autho- rities, these laws were exceedingly severe ; they have by degrees, however, been repealed, and although the legislature has given protection to the preservers of deer, hares, pheasants, &c., the chase of the fox is alone countenanced by sufferance, and supported by bye- laws framed and acknowledged by the admirers of the sport. These laws refer chiefly to the lines of demar- cation which divide one fox-hunting country from another, or in other words, what covers a master of • Leges Canuii apud Lainbord, cap. 77, from Strutt. RIGHT OF COUNTRY. 27 hounds shall enter to draw for a fox, without trespassing upon lands within the acknowledged boundary of the country hunted by another established pack of hounds, a transgression beyond which, is considered by the hunting world, dishonourable and unsportsman- like. If a huntsman pursues his fox beyond his own country, he has a right to endeavour to kill him, even if he should enter a favourite cover of another hunt ; if he goes to ground in a strange country, he may be bolted by a terrier, but not by digging, as no spade nor substitute for a spade, must be used, in fact, the ground must not be broken ; he may be washed out, in case of his going into a drain leading from a pond, where the water can be let into the drain by a sluice ; he may be also bolted from a drain by inserting a lighted whisp of straw at one end of it. The New Sporting Magazine, records an instance of a fox being bolted from a drain by a person blowing at one end of it, the horn of the guard of a mail coach which happened to come up at the time, when the fox went to ground.* It is well known, that in this country the absolute and undisputed right in landed property extends " usque ad ccelum,' and that a person is undoubtedly at liberty, by the law of the land, to do what he likes with his own ; but although by this enactment it is legally in his power to determine whom he shall permit to hunt his covers, the bye-laws of fox-hunting have decided quite differently, as the right of drawing those covers would, without the least doubt, belong to that hunt, • Vide New Sporting Magazine, vol. xi, p. 95. 28 RIGHT OF COUNTRY, which had, without interruption, been in the acknow- ledged habit of hunting that country, within the limits of which these covers might be situated. If it were not for this, what confusion would ensue ? Upon every slight misunderstanding, or coldness between neigh- bouring gentlemen, there would be some pretence or other for allowing their covers to be drawn by another master of hounds ; no acknowledged boundary would be kept up, and when the sportsmen left the kennel in a morning it would be a matter of uncertainty whether their " line of drawing" had not been disturbed through- out, on the day before or not, and even whether it would be possible for them to hunt with any degree of certainty three or four days a- week for the rest of the season. As time rolls on, changes, not only in the demarcation of kingdoms, but also in the extent of hunting countries, are continually taking place, partly, in the latter case, from the circumstance of a new owner of a pack living at a more remote distance, or from the number of hunting days being increased or diminished. I could enumerate many instances of covers changing hands, or becoming what are termed neutral covers. It is in the memory of sportsmen now living, that the far-famed Shuckburgh Hills have been claimed by four different hunts. Many years since, when Mr. Warde hunted Warwickshire, they were drawn by his hounds ; afterwards, the Pytchley drew them, and since my recollection they have been hunted both by the packs of Sir Thomas Mostyn (afterwards sold to Mr. Drake), and of Lord Lichfield, at that time Lord Anson, when his lordship hunted the Dunchurch country. The Ran-dans, also, a chain of covers HUNT CLUBS. 29 (perhaps nearly the deepest and darkest woodlands in England), have undergone perpetual changes with the Worcestershire and Staffordshire hounds, from time immemorial. Shropshire has also experienced many alterations ; and, in fact, there are very few countries the boundaries of which are the same that they were fifty years ago ; nevertheless, there are rules and regu- lations acknowledged in the sporting world, by which the line of demarcation is preserved, and as long as any established hunt continues to draw covers thus marked out, their rights are held inviolable.* How long it is since Hunt Clubs were first esta- blished, we have no certain authority ; but it was about the middle of the last century that matters appertaining to fox-hunting were recognised with other subjects of county interest. That hunt which lays claim to the greatest antiquity, as I have been credibly informed, although the hounds are little better than a trencher- fed pack, the country round composed of everlasting dingles, woods, and precipices, and the thing chiefly supported by the yeomanry of the country, is the Sin- nington, in Yorkshire ; and amongst other peculiarities characteristic of this ancient club, the huntsman is always retained quite as much on account of his warbling qualifications as his knowledge of the chase ; and unless he has " Bright Phoebus," " Old Towler," and " The grey eye of Morning," with a few other * The two most interesting cases in point, which bave occurred for many years, are the dispute between the Duke of Beaufort and Mr. Horlock, which I am happy to say has been amicably arranged. The other is that between Gen. \Vyndbam and his brother Col.

There are no less than twelve packs of fox-hounds hunting the county of York, some of these are mere scratch affairs, but five or six are old-established hunts, and the members are united in one club, called the " York Union Hunt Club." This is one of the most aristocratic societies in England ; and none are admitted but those whose character will bear the strictest investigation on all points. As a proof of the stern determination of the members not to admit any improper candidates into their society, I will record the following circumstance, which was related to me by one of its oldest supporters. A few years since a person who was well known and duly appreciated for his outre manners and overbearing vulgarity, wished to become one of the " York Union Hunt Club," who after being twice unsuccessful, the black balls pre- dominating in an unprecedent number, resolved upon the scheme of collecting a packed meeting composed of three or four of its members, who were from some cause or other under sufficient obligation to him, to assist him in his forced entree. He was at length elected, but not duly elected according to the rules of the club, and at the next general meeting, our crest- fallen hero was officially informed that he must not consider himself a member of the " Y. U. H. C." but if he wished to become a candidate, he had better get some friend to propose him at the next meeting in the usual manner.

CURTIS EATING A FOX. 31 hares, although the island abounded with them ;* since that period however tastes have altered ; and although their flesh is now amongst the greatest delicacies of the age, I dare say very few of my readers have par- taken of that of the fox : but the following anecdote of that animal being regularly roasted and served up at the table of one of the greatest " bon vivans" of his day, is undoubtedly true, as I heard it from no less than four different persons, who bore testimony to it, not only from the experience of their eyes, but also of their teeth. The Rev. George Curtis, who was younger brother of the late Sir William Curtis, and rector so many years of the parish of Solihull, in Warwick- shire, was no less celebrated for his attachment to field sports, than for his unbounded hospitality, and for the excellent table which he always kept. So fond was he of the chase, that for many years he kept a pack of harriers himself, with which he sometimes drew for a fox, as there were no fox-hounds in those days, which regularly hunted that neighbourhood. On one occa- sion, when the hounds had accidentally crossed the line of poor reynard, as he was on his travels, and had given him a dressing of upwards of two hours, in the old-fashioned style, which had found the bottom of most of the nags, and amongst them had completely sewed up that of the sporting divine, who finding it almost dark, himself unable to proceed, and that " although the spirit was willing, the flesh was weak," he gave them a parting cheer, and declared to his huntsman, whose name was Joseph Pitchford, that if he succeeded in bringing the brush home, he would, * Caesar Bel.

THE LIFE OF A FOX-HOUND. 33 accounts of his exploits, that he ought, without hesita- tion, to take precedence of all other animals which have been rendered subservient to the wants and amusements of mankind. The life of a fox-hound, from the very day that he enters the kennel, is that of the most perfect slavery ; from the moment that the door is closed upon him, his free agency ceases, he neither eats, works, nor even exercises himself, but at the command of his keeper ; by some innate faculty, he learns to imitate the example of others ; he is sus- ceptible of emulation and jealousy, and endeavours not only to execute the commands, but also to discover the wishes, of his master. The following remarks of Dr. Hartley (extracted from the Magazine of Natural History), on the intellectual faculties of Brutes, are so extremely judicious, and so much to the purpose of the present subject, that I shall subjoin them. " The whole nature of each brute which has been brought up among others of the same species, is a compound of instinct, its own observation, and expe- rience, and imitation of those of its own species. Instinct seems to have exerted its whole influence, when the creature has arrived at maturity, and has brought up its young, so that nothing new can be expected of it (instinct) afterwards. But the intel- lectual acquisitions of brutes from observation and experience continue : whence old brutes are far more cunning, and can act better {pro re nata) as circum- stances arise, than young ones. It ought also to be remembered that brutes, from their want of words, and from our ignorance of their symbols, which they use in giving intimation to each other and to man, cannot D 34 ANECDOTES. make manifest to us the extent of the reason they possess." For the authenticity of the following anecdotes, I think I may safely vouch ; the first I had from Thomas Smith (kennel huntsman to Mr. Musters), a person who was not only an eye-witness of the fact, but one of the actors in this interesting performance, at the time it took place, and since that I have had the account confirmed by Mr. M. himself. With regard to the second, I can assure my readers that it happened at my own kennel, and, therefore, I can myself answer for the truth of it. Almost all fox-hunters know, or at any rate, must have heard, of Mr. Musters, of Colwick, and all who have been gratified by the performance of his celebrated pack, either in Nottinghamshire, or in the Pytchley country, must be convinced, that he is decidedly the most skilful amateur-huntsman that ever cheered a hound, and can draw forth the hidden powers and capabilities of that animal, on a bad-scenting day, to a greater degree than any man in England* — the attachment which his hounds always evince towards him, when approaching them on a hunting morning, is most particularly striking, and those who have so * Mr. Musters is deservedly placed at the head of the list of all huntsmen, whether amateurs or professionals ; he has brought up and instructed more ser- vants as huntsmen, whippers-in, and feeders, than all the rest of the masters of hounds put together. Within these few years there were no less than five hunts- men hunting crack packs of hounds at the same time, all of whom had learned their first rudiments under this skilful performer. Mr. Musters has had many imitators, but no rivals ; when working-, there is an indescribable communion between him and his pack, which has been attained by no one else, and which cannot be better explained than in the plain unvarnished v.ords of Will Price, ■who was his first whipper-in previous to his entering the service of his Grace of Cleveland. In describing to nie JNIr. Musiers's style of haD(ning his pack, he said it put him in mind of a gentleman " coaxing some young gal, he did it so nice and 'ticintr !"

During one of the seasons that Mr. Musters hunted Northamp- tonshire, the hounds were to meet at that well-known cover Badby Wood, and were taken on the day previous by his huntsman, Smith, who lived so many years with Lord Middleton, and afterwards with Mr. Osbaldeston, to sleep at the Bulls Head, at \Yeedon. On arriving at a place where the road from Northamp- ton converges into the road by which they were travelling, suddenly some of the most forward of them became restless, and, by their manner, the huntsman concluded that a disturbed fox had crossed near that place ; in a few moments the whole pack, which had been fed, and were dreaming, as they plodded along, of the "joys of the next coming day," became roused from their torpor, and in one moment more were "away;" the huntsman swore the devil was in them, the whippers rode and rated to no purpose ; at last, in turning a corner, about a mile further on, who should be seen but Mr. Musters himself? who had come by the second road, and was jogging quietly along on the hack which usually carried him to cover, to dine and sleep, previously to hunting, at the house of a gentle- man in that neighbourhood. The Squire, no doubt, almost fancied that he had " had his day," and that, like the canine attendants of his predecessor Actaion, his faithful followers were immediately about to per- form his obsequies. An attempt to describe the delight of the whole pack, and of their gallant general, would, I fear, spoil the picture ; one favourite actually jumped upon the quarters of the horse, and licked his D 2 36 OLD FRENZY. master's face ; it was next to an impossibility to call them off, and the only means to persuade them to proceed, was for Mr. Musters to ride several miles out of his way to conduct these faithful creatures to the inn where they were to be lodged for the night. The second anecdote is of a hound-bitch called Frenzy, which came to me in 1834, with some others, from Overton, in Hampshire, where the kennel of the Vine hounds is situated ; being on heat when she arrived, she was accordingly shut up separate, and in due course of time being taken to exercise with the rest of the pack, availed herself of the first opportunity of decamping, and arrived, as a letter from Adamson, the huntsman, informed me, on the second day, having travelled through four counties, a distance of upwards of one hundred miles ; she was immediately sent back to the place of her former destination, to which she returned safe, and after some weeks, produced a litter of whelps, which she reared ; but no sooner were they weaned, than she undertook a second visit to her native place, with equal celerity ; she was accordingly sent back again, and having arrived within ten miles of the end of her journey, was tied up by the carrier in a stable, with a cord, which she bit in two during the night, and, for the third time, retraced her steps ; it was then considered useless to be at any more trouble about her, and she was allowed to end her days where she had commenced them. Another curious circum- stance occurred about forty or fifty years ago, when the Holderness country was hunted by one of the Bethel family, of Rise. Some draft hounds were sent into Kent from Mr. B's kennel, by a sailing vessel MK. BETHELS HOUNDS 37 from Hull ; but upon their arrival they refused to remain at their new quarters, and actually found their way back by land as far as Lincoln, where they were taken up, having accomplished more than two-thirds of the distance home. I shall now conclude this chapter, with the sincere hope that with the rising generation of British sports- men, this manly and soul-stirring amusement may ever continue to hold the high rank that it does amongst our numerous national sports ; nor may the murderous and selfish system of preserving game, nor the quarrel- breeding, mob-collecting, and cruel exhibition of the steeple-chase, supplant that noble pursuit, which affords recreation to all classes of society, Beckford says, with great truth, that " Hunting is the soul of a country life ; it gives health to the body and content- ment to the mind ; and is one of the few pleasures we can enjoy in society, without prejudice either to our- selves or our friends." It not only finds employment for numerous hands in nearly all our trades and manu- factures, but amongst the higher ranks, it is an effectual security against the intrusion of idleness and spleen ; it affords to the man of property ample scope for the display of generous and social feelings, and far better supplies the place of the more fashionable and expensive amusements of the metropolis, which only tend to excite, and not to satisfy our fancied and arti- ficial wants. 38 CHAPTER II.

It is no less curious than true, that although there is one point on which all authors are agreed in erecting a kennel, namely that it is to be on a healthy spot, yet a true description of what is really a proper situation, has never been given; one recommends it to be built on high ground, while another declares that it is impossible to have the place kept sweet and clean without a stream of water running through it ; it has also been advised to have it shaded by trees, as if the all cheering rays of the sun were not the chief means of drying the courts, and dissipating those noxious vapours which invariably attend the keeping together PLAN FOR ERECTING A KENNEL. 39 SO large a body of animals as a pack of hounds. Mr. White in his " Natural History of Selbourne," in speaking of the effect that trees have near any place, says: "that they are great promoters of damp, and that they perspire profusely, condense largely, and check evaporation so much, that woods are always moist ; no wonder therefore that they contri- bute much to pools and streams." The lodging-rooms of a kennel if built in a proper manner should always have other rooms over them, as they will then be much warmer in winter, and may be kept much cooler in summer ;*' if the kennels are only a building with- out rooms or lofts over them, they should be carried up as high as they conveniently can and not slated nor tiled but thatched neatly; this plan has been found fault with as harbouring vermin, but if the roof is properly plastered in the inside, f there will be no fleas nor ticks, and if built a reasonable height from the ground and defended by pieces of sheet-iron at the corners, rats and mice will not be able to climb up. If the lodging-rooms are lofty (about the height of eleven feet) and well ventilated, providing they have rooms over them, they will be sufficiently cool * One of the rooms should be occupied by the boiler or feeder :is Lis sleepino- apartment, as hounds ought never to be left entirely alone, witliout some one close at hand, and within hearing for one single moment, or they may quarrel and worry each other. JMany instances might be recorded of hounds being worried in the kennel ; Colonel Cook mentions the fact of three being thus destroyed in the short space often minutes, and the author had the same number killed in one of his kennels, where no one slept near at hand, during one week m the summer of 1834; what made it more extraordinary was, that they were all of one family, namely two brothers, and a young hound, got by one of them ; they were all remarkably ill-tempered, which is a convincing proof that the victim in such unfortunate cases is generally the aggressor. t The plaster should be put only on the roof, as walls plastered are very apt, when broken, to harbour ticks; the bricks should be all carefully struck, as the mason's term it, and well pointed inside. 40 LETTING HOUNDS LIE OUT IN THE COURTS. in summer, and during the time that hounds are in the kennel, they had much better be upon their beds, than lying out, as is the custom in some establish- ments, under the shade of trees, on the damp ground. It is the opinion of Mr. W. Smith, Lord Yarborough's huntsman, that nothing contributes to render hounds liable to rheumatism, or shoulder lameness, more than allowing them to lie on the cold ground in the shade, particularly after work or exercise, besides it is the means of making servants slack in taking them out to horse exercise, of which they ought to have at least four hours' work every morning early, during the summer months. The only use a large grass court can be of is, in my opinion, for the puppies to air themselves at their will, when they come up from their quarters, and which should be kept exclusively for them ; if hounds are to be walked out either for inspection, or for exercise after feeding, or on rest days, they should be taken into the paddock, which should be also kept entirely for that purpose.* If horses are turned in, their dung is always in the way, as most hounds will, even directly after feeding, ramble about to pick it up. As we are now upon the subject of their eating excrement, and other filth, it may not be considered an improper time to mention the tendency that some of them have to fill themselves with the dung of not only the others, but also to devour their own ordure.f The number of hounds * The size of a grass court to the puppies' kennel, need not be more than a hundred yards square in a very airy situation. The paddock for moving the old hounds into, should be three or four acres at least. t Hounds which are in the habit of eating the filth in the courts may always be known by their bad condition, and by their being more or less dropped in their bodies. SHUTTING UP HOUNDS BY THEMSELVES. 41 which are rendered useless by this filthy practice alone, is incredible; a huntsman should always take the precaution of shutting up by themselves on the . night previous to hunting, such as are in the habit of thus filling themselves, and also of putting muzzles on them to prevent them eating their own ordure. It is positively necessary to shut up such as have ac- quired this dirty practice by themselves, for if the others do not worry them (being unable to defend themselves) in the night, they will without fail gnaw off their muzzles for mere mischief. I would recom- mend some small places, large enough to contain one or a couple of hounds, to be built about a kennel, they are always useful for the sick, and the lame, or for early whelps; they should be well sheltered and warm. If I were to be enabled to build another kennel, I would have it constructed upon such a plan, that I could enter any one of the courts without interfering with any other ; this might be easily effected by having the great drawing court to run the whole length of the other courts. I would also have two courts attached to the feeding house for the sole pur- pose of drawing the hounds while feeding. This plan would be a great convenience, as not interfering with hounds when at rest. Moreover, when hounds return very late at night from hunting, and are put over into one of the courts attached to the lodging rooms, after feeding, they invariably cause the floor to be covered with grease ; which if neglected to be washed off by a careful feeder (and such persons cannot be trusted at all times), will induce the hounds to be hunting and 42 RATS IN KENNELS. licking the floor in the cold for an hour, instead of retiring to their benches. The feeding-room should be so contrived, that the pack may be drawn in to feed from one court, and turned out through another door into a second court, by this means they can be fed much easier, and more level, than by turning those which have been fed back amongst those which are waiting; the door through which they are drawn in, should be divided in the middle; the upper part being left open during the time of feeding, renders the operation much less dif- ficult to the feeder. The feeding-room should be always separate from the boiling-house, let the size be ever so large even in a temporary cub-hunting kennel, as the heat of the furnaces will cause the puddings to ferment, to say nothing of other inconveniences. Hounds seldom look clean in their coats when the boiling;-house is in the centre of the buildino;, on ac- count of the smut falling continually upon them when in the court yards. The eaves should be by all means spouted, and the water well drained olf, which will much contribute to the dryness of the place ; the gut- ters of the courts should be all carried into one main drain, which should not have access to the open air within at least one hundred yards of the building, well grated at each end to prevent the rats getting in. This description of vermin will be found most trou- blesome guests in a kennel, if allowed to increase ; the food they destroy is perfectly incredible, to say nothing of their leisure moments being employed in drilling loop holes through the doors, trough lids, and meat sacks. There are various ways for extir- RATS IN KENNELS. 43 pating these wholesale marauders. In the Puckeridge kennels the top of the cooler for the pudding is covered with lattice-work, with lifting doors resem- bling a rat-trap, which the feeder informed me, an- swered well at times, but that after a " large catch'' of perhaps ten or twelve brace, the rats became shy of enterino; for a time. I once killed in and about my kennel in Warwickshire, three hundred old ones in one week besides a numerous small fry ; and a few years after, when in Holderness, my men killed in va- rious ways in the kennels, stables, and yards adjoining, including the rickyard banks, seven hundred and thirty- six rats between October and the following April. In some places they give so much a dozen for the tails of rats as an encouragement for their destruction. In the stables of R. Watt, Esq., of Bishop Burton, near Beverley some years ago, a lad, who had acquired the character of a most expert rat-killer, was dis- covered to have a method of making two tails out of one, by skinning them and inserting a stick in so ingenious a manner as to have escaped detection for a considerable time. Two or three cats are good things to encourage about a kennel ; I recollect I was much amused when looking at Lord Middleton's hounds when they were kept at Stratford-on-Avon, in seeing two very large cats lying on the benches with them ; I was informed by Harry Jackson the old huntsman, that they were all on the very best terms, the cats going in and out at their pleasure ; what made it appear more extraordinary, was that there were three or four couples of terriers, the most inveterate enemies of the feline race, kept with them, which likewise appeared on an 44 REMARKS ON KENNEL LAMENESS. equally friendly footing. Some years since, when staying at Hangerford for the purpose of hunting, I saw in Mr. Wardens kennel a doe which was kept in an out-house close to the kennel-door, she was re- markably tame, and came in generally to feed with hounds at the trough, and it was really wonderful to see with what avidity she would eat, not only the meal, but also the boiled flesh.* She afterwards walked out with the pack in the paddock, and caused much amusement by her playful antics : this was, no doubt, one reason why Mr. Warde's hounds were so notoriously steady from deer in the Marlborough forest. But to return to my subject. If care be taken that the straw is well swept off, and the dung carefully picked up before the courts are washed, there will be no danger of dirt accumulating in the drain, so as to stop it up. In many places, the fellmongers buy the dung which is picked up in the kennels, and use it for cleaning the skins during the operation of dressing them. This, if sold, is the perquisite of the boiler, but no man who had a farm in his hands, would, I should suppose, allow of so great an abuse. If the floors of the lodging-rooms are not made of large slabs of stone, they should be laid with bricks called quarries, and not common bricks, as many are, — in cement, and not in mortar, which will render the place not only drier, but much sweeter. By attending to these hints, and taking the rules laid down by Beckford, with regard to the main * Deer are well known to have a great desire to eat almost anything offered to tliera. The author has frequently fed the deer in Magdalene Park, Oxford, after breakfast, with buttered rolls, ham, and all sorts of meat, gloves, handkerchiefs, paper, and even cinders, thrown to ihem from the windows. COLONEL COOK S OPINION. 45 points, as the chief guide, a kennel may be built, and properly arranged, providing the one great essential be obtained, and that is a healthy situation. A kennel may be complete in every other respect, — it may to all appearance be warm in winter, and cool in sum- mer, and replete with every sort of convenience ; but the one thing may be wanting, namely, health. In fact, it may have the greatest of all curses next to madness to a pack of fox-hounds, kennel-lameness, or shoulder-lameness, as it is sometimes called ; but whether that is a proper name, remains to be proved, as no one has ever satisfactorily defined it, nor given positive proof whether the grief be situated in the shoulders, or loins, or spine. The cause also of the disease has never been clearly developed. Colonel Cook has written but very little on the subject, and the instances adduced are only relative to hounds hunting in the New Forest. He has given some reasons for their being lame ; the most probable one is, the damp from the black bogs ; but, after all, he comes to no decided conclusion. Another reason which he gives for the malady is, their feet being con- tinually pricked by the short stubby furze so prevalent in the Nevv' Forest. I have experienced the same annoyance myself, although not to so great an extent. In part of the country which I hunted,* large fields of gorse, where the land was poor, were grown for the express purpose of cutting as food for cows. It is mown once every year, and bruised in a mill, and the stumps and prickles which are left behind are a grievous impediment to hounds in chase. Although • Over Co'osbill Healh in Warwickshire. 46 REMARKS ON KENNEL LAMENESS. hounds are frequently lame after running far over this kind of land, their way of travelling is very different from the manner in which they move when lame in the shoulders ; a person conversant with hounds will see it in an instant. As far as regards my personal expe- rience, I have every reason to believe, having inquired diligently of many practical men, that the grief arises from one cause only, and that is, from the situation of the kennel. If you ask a sportsman what is the reason why Mr. So and So's hounds are always half of them lame ? The answer is, " The kennel is damp, I should suppose ;" yet, after all, the kennels are, to the eye, as dry as tinder. Ask another the same question, and he says, " why, I think it must be kennel-lameness ;" but, at the same time, knows no more what kennel- lameness is than the ''man in the moon." The best cause that I can attribute it to, is from the building being either on a bed of sand or upon a sandstone rock. Of the four kennels occupied by the writer of these papers, two of them were decidedly subject to the disease, — one particularly so ; they were both built upon sand, one of them close upon a sandstone rock, and what would generally be considered the healthiest and driest spot in the world, and one especially calculated for the purpose for which it was used ; the lodging-rooms were well ventilated, with good-sloping floors, and always were every thing that cleanliness could demand; it was used during the cub-hunting season by the Warwickshire hounds, before the author occupied it, and only occasionally in the winter for one or two nights at a time, no sign of lameness occurred during that period ; but when it REMARKS ON KENNEL LAMENESS. 47 was used regularly during winter, the lameness became manifest ; out of forty couples there were sometimes fourteen or fifteen couples lame ; the usual remedies, of which 1 shall speak hereafter, were tried ; but although some became eventually sound, their reco- very might be attributed more to turning them out to run loose than to any artificial resources. Another cause from which kennel lameness may be supposed to arise, is the situation being upon ground where the springs rise up in a direct line. The best reason to give for its existence where the ground is sandy, is that the exhalation from that sort of soil is much greater than from any other, and that the damp arising from it, although imperceptible in itself, causes lame- ness, which is, in fact, rheumatism. In looking into the " Edinburgh Philosophical Journal," where there is an article upon " Artesian Wells,"* by M. Arago, I find that in this supposition I am partly borne out by the opinion of Aristotle, which is there quoted ; he considered that a central heat is produced by the increased humidity arising from water pent up in the inside of the earth, and which finds its easiest escape through that body which is the most porous ; this water was supposed by him, and also by many other philosophical inquirers, to be filtered through the various strata of soil from the sea (and not composed of rain-water as has been conjectured by some persons), as it has been attested that rain-water never penetrates very deep into the ground ; but whether that is the case or not, it makes no sort of difference to what I • From the FrencL province of Artois, where extensive reseaicbes were carried ou for the discovery of iubterronean water. 48 REMARKS ON KENNEL LAMENESS. wish to prove. M. Arago goes on to say, " that Seneca mentions in his questions on natural history, that rain, however abundant it may be, never pene- trates into the soil above ten feet ; he states that he is certain of this from having made many careful experiments with this object in view. It becomes a question whether we must not have recourse to internal vapours in explaining the existence of foun- tains, which are situated far above the level of the sea, whilst their source is also deep under a vast extent of soil. According to the experiments of the great number of naturalists, who have recently engaged in these researches, the permeability of the earth would be decidedly inferior to the limit assigned by Seneca. Thus Marriotte maintains that m cultivated la?ids, the heaviest rains of summer do not penetrate above six inches. Lahire also has observed, that in soils covered with vegetation, they, on no occasion, penetrate more than two feet ; and he has likewise stated, concerning a bed of naked earth, eight feet thick, that not a drop of water had penetrated to the leaden plate which supported it, during the fifteen years it had been exposed to every atmospheric vicissitude. Buifon has supplied the results of a similar experiment ; for he mentions having examined in a garden a bed of earth more than nine feet high, which had been undisturbed for many years, and he noticed that the rain had never penetrated more than four feet deep. These obser- vations would be of the deepest import in the question concerning the origin of fountains, if the surface of the globe were covered with a layer of vegetable earth of the thickness of two or three yards. But the very LAMENESS IN THE ALBRIGHTON HOUNDS. 49 reverse of this is the fact ; and every one knows that in many places the superior layer is sand, and that sand allows water to percolate as if it were a sieve." At any rate, whether Aristotle is right or not, this appears to support my argument, that the water, which causes this moisture, is filtered either one way or other, and from this we may fairly conclude that the vapour which I before spoke of finds its exit by the same pas- sage. About ten years since the Albrighton hounds (then under the management of Mr. ¥/alter Gifford), had been removed to a new kennel which was built for them ; as soon as it had been used a short time, the hounds became lame in their shoulders, it being- suspected to be kennel lameness ; among others, one remedy was tried, which was to dig out the lodging rooms for several feet and fill them up with cinders ; it need hardly be said that it was of no avail ; if good stiff clay had been rammed down, the result might have been different ; the situation was upon a sandstone rock. The hounds continued to show lameness for several years, when Sir Thomas Boughey, Bart, purchased the pack, and a removal to a fresh and healthier kennel, put a stop to the increase of the disease, although many which had been long lame never recovered. Some years since Mr. Foljambe built a new kennel for his hounds upon a dry sandy situation at Beilby ;* they became lame, many remedies were tried, even the changing the aspect of the courts, but without any beneficial consequences. In a conversation I had with Mr. Foljambe upon the subject in the autumn of 1840, he told me that he was thoroughly convinced that the * The kennels were formed from the rooms of the old Mansion Louse, 50 . LORD KINTORe's HOUNDS. situation was the sole cause of kennel lameness existing in hounds ; his were invariably afflicted with the malady if they remained at Beilby after the damps of autumn came on, but by being removed to his hunting kennel five miles distant from that place, they were pre- vented from being attacked by this dreadful complaint. To such an extent has this rheumatic affection shown itself during some seasons at the Beilby kennels, that the bitches heavy with whelp when running at large, have been grievously attacked, and even puppies when only a month or six weeks old have been completely distorted in their limbs, and consequently destroyed. Lord Kintore's hounds have also been martyrs to this curse on hound-flesh for a long period, and his lordship after fighting against it for ten years, is fully convinced that the situation of his kennel at Gask is the only cause for the existence of kennel lameness in his pack. I am happy to say that the kennel has been con- demned, and a new one is to be erected at some distance from the old site. I could enumerate many kennels subject to this dreadful calamity, even where they are situated upon healthy looking spots of ground, and I could also mention some instances where they are to all appearance damp, but which are, at the same time, free from all sorts of diseases. It is truly dis- gusting to see what make-shift places some masters of hounds are content with by way of kennels, where the floors not even covered with bricks are allowed to remain saturated with filth and urine. I always make it a rule when travelling, to visit all kennels conti- guous to my line of march, whether in England or on the continent, and during these inspections I have BEES IN THE DUKE OF NASSAU's KENNEL 51 sometimes witnessed extraordinary scenes, both at home and abroad. Sheep, and even pigs are placed in some kennels durins; the time that the hounds are absent for a few weeks, by way of keeping them well aired and sweet. But what beat every thing I ever saw, by way of making the most of an enclosure, was at the Duke of Nassau's kennel on the Rhine, where ten or twelve hives of bees were kept in the yard amongst a large collection of deer hounds, pointers, and other dogs. The attendant informed me that the bees seldom stung their companions, I have no doubt that they kept at a respectful distance, verifying the old adao-e about '' burnt bairns." Many of my readers will I dare say remember the old Woodland kennels at Brigstock, in Northampton- shire, built under the direction of the late Lord Spencer, by the celebrated Dick Knight (his lordship's huntsman). The last time I was in them was in 1835, when they were in the same condition in which they were in early days, anything but a convenient place for hounds ; there was always a peculiar appearance on the floors as if the wet settled on the bricks : but it was considered by Charles King, (huntsman to Lord Althorp,) as one of the healthiest situations for hounds in the world. Jack Stevens, who also used it when with Mr. Osbaldeston for eight or nine seasons, told me he never knew hounds do better in the whole of his experience, than at Brigstock. The kennels are built upon a clay, the substratum of which is marl. There is a small kennel at Downside, in Somersetshire, built so close to a trout-stream, that it actually runs through the yards, upon a rock, but then the rock is e2 52 ON WASHING HOUNDS. of freestone and not of sandstone ; this is a particularly healthy place for hounds ; Mr. Hall, who occupied it when I saw it, declared it was equally so with his other kennel, which was far superior both in size and con- venience. The kennels at Butler's Marston, occupied for many years by the Warwickshire hounds, were built upon a white clay, the country near them after rain was always knee deep in mud, yet no lameness was ever visible. The Holderness kennels at Bishop Burton may also be mentioned as another instance of sound- ness on apparently wet land, — so much for situations. From these few instances of many, then, it may be fairly presumed, that the best place to build a kennel upon is a clay or strong sound ground devoid of sand veins, sandstone rocks, or springs ; let the spouting and ventilating be particularly attended to, and if shoulder lameness or any other disease breaks out, the owner may come to a fair conclusion that there is some hidden cause for the malady, of which the writer of these pages is at present unable to give an account. It is the custom with many huntsmen to wash their hounds in warm water every day after hunting, previous to shutting them up, and I have known this practice pursued by some men for a very great length of time without any ill consequences arising from it; while other persons will tell you that it is a certain plan to produce lameness and disease. And that they prefer a little natural dirt to bad condition as some of the old school term it. Nevertheless I cannot consider that the removal of dirt by a little clean water can be attended by bad results if the hounds are afterwards attended to as they ought to be. When Jack Wood ON WASHING HOUNDS. 53 was huntsman to the Warwickshire pack, he invariably had the hounds washed in warm water after eacli hunting day; they were Ufted up into a large tub which held about two couples at a time, and their legs, thighs, and bellies, well washed with a brush ; such as were very dirty were even washed over the back, but no shoulder lameness was ever the result of this method. William Boxall who succeeded him in that office, also pursued the same system without any bad effects; and a few years after when entering their kennel, on my return from hunting, with Thomas Day, who had been first whipper-in, and who was promoted at the time when William Boxall relinquished that situation, I observed that he still kept up the system of washing, but only such as were very dirty were lifted into the bath ; the rest were moved round the court in marching order, and as they passed, warm water was dashed against their legs and bellies, with a large hand-bowl, care being taken not to wet their backs, more than could be helped. During the twelve years that I was in the habit of not only hunting with these hounds, but also of continually passing many hours in the kennel, I never was aware of shoulder lameness being detected amongst them, excepting in cases of kicks from horses and other accidents.* During the period that I kept fox-hounds myself, I usually pursued the system of washing them after work ; while I practised it the hounds were perfectly sound, but kennel lameness having shown itself upon the hounds being placed in a new lodging-room, which * One cause of casual lameness amongst hounds arises very frequently from the doorways particularly of the lodging-rooms being too narrow, and from their being allowed to come ri[iping out, helter skelter, when moved by the huntsman. 54 THE YELLOWS, AND DISTEMPER. was built at a short distance from the one previously used, I desisted from the practice, and when occupy- ing another kennel at ten miles' distance, where the pack was most grievously affected with that disease during the winter months, washing even their feet after work was entirely dispensed with ; the lameness, however, even continued to increase, which circum- stance convinced me, that selecting an improper situation when building the kennel, is the sole cause of the existence of this most dreadful curse upon hound- flesh, and that the practice of washing has nothing to do whatever with it. This opinion about washing was afterwards confirmed when I hunted the Holderness country. Some lodging-rooms are white-washed only once during the year, but it should be done much more frequently; the objection to their being damp for the hounds to enter, may be easily remedied by lighting a fire in them during this necessary operation, which may be removed a short time before they are occupied. There are stoves made on purpose for airing damp stables, kennels, &c. with a long flue to conduct the smoke out through the window ; if a stove is not at hand, the easiest method is to turn the benches carefully up, and form a fire-place of loose bricks in the centre placed diagonally ; open the windows and keep the door shut. No lodging-room which has been long unoccupied, should be ever used, unless it has been well aired for a whole day ; it is certain to be more or less damp, and nothing is more likely to produce that disease called the yellows, or jaundice, in hounds, than lying in a damp place ; amongst the puppies it is almost certain to produce distemper. The building a new THE PYTCHLEY KENNELS AT BRIXWORTH. 55 kennel is attended with a very great expense and , frequently with a very considerable sacrifice, as after a few years in many instances, from unforeseen events, it becomes useless for the purpose for which it was intended; if a hunt committee are about building one by subscription, care should be taken to select such a situation, that it may be eligible as property to be purchased for an inn or for small houses in the event of the hounds being removed to a different place. The great drawbrack to subscribers finding a kennel for a master of hounds, offering to hunt a country, would thus be remedied; as there would be almost a cer- tainty of persons who might be so liberally inclined as to build one, being eventually repaid their outlay. The kennels of the Pytchley hunt at Brixworth, were built by the joint contributions of four gentlemen of fortune in Northamptonshire, which, with the paddocks and stables, give each of them a vote for the division of the county in which they are situated, while the greater part of their property lies in the other division. I fear my readers have, by this time, become heartily tired of following me through the different court-yards and lodging-rooms if they are also hungry, they will find wherewith to appease their appetites in the next chapter. 56 CHAPTER III.

Much has been said by various theoretical authors upon feeding hounds upon different kinds of food, each recommending his own pecuhar plan as the best ; the proof positive, however, derived from one's own experience will bear out every argument upon the subject. In former days hounds were fed chiefly if not entirely, upon raw flesh ; but times have altered, and improvements in kennel economy, as well as in most other departments, have been introduced. In my early days I have repeatedly seen harriers fed, by calhng them into six or seven large joints of flesh, instead of to the trough ; and the warm entrails of a FOOD FOR HOUNDS. 57 fresh killed horse were considered a grand restorative to tired hounds after a long days hunting. In an old book entitled, " The Gentleman's Recreation," the author, in the old fashioned and quaint language of the seventeenth century, in recommending flesh as good food for hounds, says, that horse-flesh is the best and hottest ; but strictly cautions any one from giving it with the skin on, — " Lest your dogs discerning the hair, may fall on them when alive in the field." In the New Sporting Magazine some few years since, a writer under the signature of Dashwood recommended the use of mangel wiirzel, such food might do extremely well for fattening pigs or cows, or for pointers or harriers which did not work very hard, but for fox- hounds whose powers of exertion are taxed to a much greater degree, such succulent food would never answer. I have used at various times many different kinds of meal, but am thoroughly convinced by expe- rience, that nothing will answer to feed fox-hounds on, but the best old oatmeal. Beckford has no objection to barley-flour mixed with the oatmeal, and gives the following method for mixing and preparing it. In speaking of the preparation of food for hounds, he says: "I have inquired of my feeder, who is a good one (and has had more experience in these matters than any one you may perhaps get), how he mixes up his meat. He tells me that in his opinion, oatmeal and barley mixed, an equal quantity of each, make the best meat for hounds. The oatmeal he boils for half-an- hour, and then pu-ts out the fire, puts the barley into the copper, and mixes both together. I asked him why he boiled one and not the other; he told me, 58 OLD OATMEAL THE BEST. boiling, which made oatmeal thick, made barley thin ; and that when you feed with barley only, it should not be put into the copper, but be scalded with the liquor, and mixed up in a bucket. I find there is in my kennel a large tub on purpose, which contains about half a hogshead." And in a few pages before the lines quoted he says. " Oatmeal, I believe, makes the best meat for hounds ; barley, is certainly the cheapest ; and in many kennels they give barley on that account ; but it is heating, does not mix up so well, nor is there so much proof in it as in oatmeal. If mixed, an equal quantity of each, it will do very well; but barley alone will not." Thus we see that although Beckford has no objection ^to the occasional use of it, yet he by no means advises it for constant consumption. In the summer of 1834, when wheat was down at 15s. per bag (of three bushels), I tried that for some consider- able time ; but the hounds by no means did so well upon it, as upon oatmeal. The only time that barley- flour could be recommended is in case of hounds being obliged to use new meal ; a little under such circum- stances well scalded (not boiled), and mixed in the trough with the oatmeal, will prevent the new meal from purging them, which it otherwise would do. The meal for the day's consumption should be brought immediately from the meal-house, instead of having a quantity put into a bin made to hold sufficient for a week or a fortnight to save trouble ; as old meal, as well as new, which has been lately moved, undergoes a process of fermentation and invariably causes purging. It is highly reprehensible for any one to subject himself to such an inconvenience, particularly MEAL MIXED WITH SAND. 59 in the hunting season ; and if any experiments are to be tried in feeding on different kinds of meal, it should be done during the summer months, as there would be a considerable risk in tampering with the constitutions of a pack of fox-hounds during work. Care should always be taken to have a stock of old oatmeal on jhand, and to lay it in at a proper time. When the late Sir Harry Goodricke died, he had at his kennel at Thrussington (between Leicester and Melton), sufficient old oatmeal for three year's consumption, all from his own estates in Ire- land. Sir Harry had nearly an hundred couples of hounds to feed, hunting five and six days a week, with a separate establishment of unentered puppies at Mount Sorrel. Barley-flour by itself makes hounds scratch themselves and stare in their coats ; and oat- meal which has been too highly dried on a kiln will have the same effect upon them. When oatmeal has been adulterated with barley-flour, it is easily per- ceived when hounds are out, by their constantly leaving their work to lap water from the pits and ditches near at hand ; it is also frequently adulterated with maize or Indian corn, a remarkably heating thing; the only plan to prevent being thus cheated, is to go to a really respectable tradesman and give the best price. The Scotch meal is the best, that is if procured genuine,* the Scotch are better farmers than the Irish, their harvest is generally better carried, and the oats are better and cleaner winnowed. f * The mealmen who supply the London tradesmen from the Scotch markets have been detected, as I was informed by a master of hounds in Scotland, by regrinding sand into the oatmeal. f I'he weight of a sack of oatmeal is twelve score pounus. 60 MR. cross's opinion Good wholesome flesh well boiled down, and mixed with the pudding, is indispensible, and when I say good wholesome flesh, I mean not those poor devils that are more than half putrid before they are killed. The circumstance of hounds going suddenly off in their condition during the hunting season may be attributed, in nine cases out of ten, to their having been fed with improper flesh. I know it is the prac- tice to boil down every thing that comes to some kennels (particularly such as are served by contract) in the shape of flesh, good or bad, and some huntsmen even put those hounds into the copper which have been destroyed, and declare that it is a certain cure for the distemper ; but that is no reason why bad and tainted flesh should be used, when a good fresh killed horse can be obtained. I know one master of fox- hounds who boasts that he has become quite callous to all that can be said about bad flesh, &c., and told me he once had a porpoise sent him by a neighbouring farmer, which he boiled up blubber and all together, and that the hounds were not injured in any way during the time they were enjoying this most exquisite supply of turtle. I had a long conversation some months since with Mr. Cross, the great wild-beast proprietor, upon the different kinds of food used for the support of animals in confinement ; and amongst much useful and rational information imparted to me upon the subject, was that putrid or tainted flesh was one of the first, if not the chief, thing to be guarded against in feeding anwials, the next was to avoid feeding them to repletion. A less quantity of ftesh is sufficient in summer, and although some theoretical ABOUT FLESH AND FEEDING. 61 sportsmen will tell you, that during the dead months, hounds ought not to touch one morsel of flesh in any shape whatever; experience has convinced me that without a constant use of it, although in moderation, no pack of fox-hounds can be kept in real hard condi- tion. If owners of all descriptions of hounds would feed them higher in the summer, and give them more strong exercise early in the morning, than is generally the case, a tired hound would seldom be met with in the early part of the season, and the necessity of the use of styptic tinctures and sharp water would be nearly abolished from the kennel. When flesh cannot be obtained, a broth made of greaves may be used, it is a thing which all dogs are particularly fond of, and frequently the sick ones, which will not eat the com- mon kennel-food, will feed on that which is mixed with greaves; the giving them this broth will prevent their going off their feed, and losing their condition, nevertheless it should be given most sparingly, as notliino- will render them foul in their bodies sooner if used for many days ; a few pails of sweet skimmed milk may generally be obtained, during the days that flesh is scarce, from some neighbouring farm, which is an ex- cellent substitute, when they are not at work. In sum- mer when they have only their ordinary exercise, a day or two's short commons is not of much consequence ; but during hard work, one unwholesome meal or half a belly-full, may waste them in their flesh, and lower their vigour and condition to such an extent, that it may take three weeks or a month to retrieve it. Some persons use biscuits occasionally during the summer months, but I should fancy no good judges 62 VEGETABLES A USEFUL INGREDIENT IN SUMMER. would pursue this system for a very long time ; havino^ tried them myself I can answer for their being by far more expensive than oatmeal and by no means so nutritious ; there are two kinds of biscuits, one the common sea bread that has been damap:ed either bv age or salt-water, and sold as old stores by the ship- chandlers, the other is made on purpose for hounds and other sporting-dogs, of refuse meal of all sorts ; having no choice myself, I shall leave it to the reader, if he wishes to become a purchaser, to buy that which his fancy conceives to be the best. Sago is also adver- tized in some of the London papers, and recommended as good food for hounds, but not having tried it myself and not even having heard of its being used for such a purpose before, I can give no account of it Cabbages are frequently given by some huntsmen during the dead months, they are a most excellent and cooling addition to the food, but being expensive, are not always to be procured, particularly where the establishment is numerous ; in that case nettles are a good substitute, they are very cooling, a strong antiscorbutic, and a diuretic, and their good effects will be evidently seen on the coats of the hounds, when they have been used for a week or ten days. Care should be taken to gather the young tops of the nettles, as when the stalks become old and hard, they are unwholesome and dif- ficult to digest ; a large sackful may be put into the copper daily, and boiled up with the flesh. Hounds when heated, are remarkably fond of vegetables boiled up with their food, prompted, no doubt, by the strong inclination, which nature never fails of exciting in scorbutic disorders, for these powerful specifics. The SUMMER FEEDING. 63 boiler's or feeder's Jirst care on entering his kennel in the morning should be invariably to take out two-thirds of the broth from the copper, which should be per- petually simmering, and pour it into a tub kept for that purpose and then fill up the copper again, pre- vious to lighting the fire ; he will then have plenty of good strong cold broth to cool the newly mixed food at feeding-time, instead of waiting for it to cool while half the morning is lost, or mixing it with cold water, which is a bad plan ; as long as the broth is not sour nor burnt, it cannot be too strong nor too rich. The boilers, or coppers as they are generally called, should be made of cast-iron, and not of copper; if any liquid of a greasy or oily nature is allowed to remain in a copper vessel, it will produce verdigris, than which nothing can be a more deadly poison. In the year 1823, Mr. Shirley, of Eatington, Warwickshire, lost about twelve couples of hounds in one night, from eating flesh and broth, which had been allowed to stand in a boiler which was made of copper. With regard to summer feeding, the system of using potatoes, cabbages, mangel-wiirzel, &c., is excellent, provided it is not carried to excess. Oatmeal puddings should be made for constant use in the same manner as in winter, and the vegetables, nettles, &.C., should be put into the flesh copper, and not boiled separate ; and when the feed is mixed up, the first lot should be for the puppies, chiefly consisting of the pudding, and only sufficient vegetables to form a cooling diet, for if they are fed daily on potatoes and other rubbish, as is the case in some establishments, they will never throw out muscle, and furnish into fox-hounds as they 64 MR. warde's opinion on feeding. ought to do, particularly when recovering from the ravages of the distemper. But with the old hounds it does not so much signify, if the contents of the meal-bin are fast diminishing, potatoes or ground oats may be substituted for a short time ; and, with regard to those bitches which may be at large suckling whelps, neither they nor their young offspring should be served with the feed in which nettles or other vegetables have been mixed, as the worst consequences will, in all probability, be the result, but a small copper should be kept for their exclusive use during the breeding season, where vegetables are used. It is quite impossible to feed in good workmanlike style, or make the most of the meat, unless the ingre- dients are good of their kind, well prepared, and pro- perly mixed ; no department in the management of the kennel was considered of greater importance than the boiling and preparing the food, by that fine old sportsman, Mr. J. Warde, whose experience, both in feeding and breeding hounds, and whose opinion in all matters relating to the chase, always have stood, and ever will stand, as high in the estimation of all fox-hunters as the oracle at Delphi did amongst the Athenians. So convinced was he of the necessity of having the meal well-boiled, that almost the first ques- tion he asked a new whipper-in or kennel-man, who might offer himself as a candidate for his service, was, whetherlieknewhowto "thick acopper;"and, according to the knowledge evinced in the culinary art of the boiling house, his estimation of the person rose or fell. The feed- ing hounds, to make the most of their powers and constitu- tions, is another art, which, amongst the ordinary run of FEEDING A PACK " TO GO TOGETHER." 65 fox-hunters, is not much considered, whereas half the secret in making a pack run together consists in a thorouo'h knowledoe of that branch of the science. I have heard many men, who were good judges too in these matters, declare, that no man can hunt a pack of hounds properly without feeding them; and, more- over, that no man can feed a pack to run together with- out hunting them, so that he may be thoroughly acquainted with their constitutions, and the effect that high or low feeding may have upon their pace and stoutness. No doubt there is a great deal of truth in this, as I know, by my own experience, that if a huntsman knows anything of feeding, he can generally perform that duty to better effect than a man who stays at home, and is consequently in ignorance of the way in which the work is performed in the field ; besides, nothing makes hounds fonder of their hunts- man, or handier in casting or lifting them, than the constantly being with them, ministering to their wants, and caressing them, and by never, on any account, striking or scolding them. No gentleman, who is his own huntsman, should ever think of entering his kennel without first putting on a large frock, made of jean or brown holland, to protect his clothes, that he may allow his pack to come round him without the fear of their being ill-naturedly beaten or repulsed. Dogs are animals not to be trifled with, and a blow given to a faultless hound, for no other crime than soiling the coat of a dandy, may create a shyness and antipathy in the animal, which can never again be eradicated. There are many first-rate amateur per- formers as huntsmen, who do not attend to the feeding F 66 DUKE OF Cleveland's reason for giving up. department themselves ; amongst them we may enu- merate Lord Ducie, Mr. Musters, and Mr. Foljambe, and, to the eye of an indifferent observer, their hounds may perform their work without the slightest cause for reproach ; yet I have no doubt if these gentlemen would undertake the fatigue and trouble of doing it themselves, their performances in the chase would be much more to their satisfaction, and many a hound, which is put away as not being able to go the pace, or for tiring, would be by such means redeemed*. Mr. Osbaldeston, although an indefatigable field huntsman, seldom or never troubled himself about the feeding ; after his kennel-huntsman left him in Northampton- shire, that operation was generally performed by Wil- liam Gardner, his boiler; and I must do him the justice to say, that I never saw any pack of hounds in the whole course of my experience as a fox-hunter, which could go so killing a pace, both in cover and in the open, run so well together, and carry so fine a head or last out such long and tiring days, as those of Mr. Osbaldeston. They were never whipped off" till it was quite dark, even if twenty miles from home, if there was the least chance of killing their fox ; and as the "Squire" hunted six days a week, and frequently had two packs out in a day, it was impossible for his head man, Jack Stevens, to feed, consequently the hounds were gene- rally, if not always, fed during the hunting season by Will. Gardner, who was considered by far the best * The Duke of Cleveland, even to the last season of his keeping hounds, was so devoted to them, as to stay after hunting during the whole operation of feeding even when his clothes were soaked with rain. And to bad health and rheuma- tism, arising from this practice, might be attributed his abandonment of the chase. HOW TO FEED " TO GO THE PACE." 67 kennel-man and most judicious feeder of liis day ; he had no doubt a quick and discerning understand- ing, and a most retentive memory, or he never could have fed them with the exactness which he did, capa- bihties of a mind worthy of a higher walk in life. " The Squire's" hounds have always been considered amongst the stoutest in the world, and no doubt the goodness of their nature must have been one great cause of their strikingly lasting qualities, yet I firmly believe, had they been fed by an ignorant or inatten- tive person, or one of the common stamp of feeders, that they never could have gone through the labour which they did in so workmanlike and superior a manner. The great art of feeding consists in adminis- tering that quantity of food which will produce the greatest powers of exertion, without impairing their constitution ; over feeding or giving too much at once is equally as injurious as giving too little ; food intro- duced into the stomach in too great a quantity does not digest, and totally defeats the object for which it is given, which may be seen in any dogs that have gorged too much, always purging. Hounds at all seasons of the year, in my humble opinion, ought to be rather high in condition, particularly in wet wea- ther, and as long as two ribs are visible, the muscles on their backs and thio;hs cannot be too exuberant. The greatest mistake in most huntsmen, is, that they do not begin sufficiently early in the summer to give strong exercise; they content themselves with crawling out at six or seven o'clock, and because it is hot, and the hounds seem distressed (which no doubt they are), bring them in at nine; whereas they ought never f2 68 EARLY FEEDING THE BEST. to be in their kennel after four o'clock unless the morning is wet, and ought to be kept out for at least four hours. As the summer wears away, and the time approaches towards cub-hunting, their exercise must of course be increased, and at that period they ought to have during two days in the week, at least about nine hours strong exercise. The best time to feed durino; the summer months is about three or four o'clock in the afternoon ; some huntsmen feed much later on account of the hounds resting more quietly during the night, but if they are to be taken out to exercise by day-break as they ought to be, three or four o'clock in the afternoon is quite late enough for the feeding hour, as they have then time to digest their food before the next day. When the puppies first come up from their quarters, they should be fed two or three times a day, unless they are very high in flesh and likely to grow too large for the pack, but as they advance in their education and condition, and the etfects of the distemper begin to wear off, they should be taught to feed only once in the day. A dog is almost a carnivorous animal, and as he is like all animals of that description, enabled by nature to go many hours without food, so also is his stomach formed to contain at one meal sufficient for at least one day's digestion, without feeling his strength and vigour impaired ia the same degree as the horse would, or any other graminivorous beast. Although dogs are, undoubtedly speaking, naturally carnivorous, we sometimes meet with accounts of their living in nearly a natural state on fish and even vege- tables; in Siberia their chief food consists offish, and EARLY FEEDING THE BEST. 69 we may also read, that, in the islands of the Pacific Ocean, dogs are bred-up on vegetables, and would not eat the flesh, when offered them by our circumna- vigators. Hounds should never be allowed to eat to satiety ; Sir B. Graham, who at one time himself per- formed the office of feeder, and whose authority on matters relating to feeding and kennel management was never doubted for a moment, considered it as most injurious to condition, to allow them to fill them- selves at the trough. It is the custom of some hunts- men during the hunting-season to draw those hounds which look thin, and give them some meat in the afternoon ; I must confess it is a system I do not admire, a hound fed at three or four o'clock in an afternoon is totally unfit to run a burst at eleven o'clock the next morning ; it is a much better plan to make such as will not feed one day, wait till the next, by that means they soon learn to feed at a proper hour as they ought to do ; when animals reject their food (depend upon it), there is a good reason for it, and nothing is so good for the stomach when disor- dered, as a little fasting ; such was the system pursued by the great Napoleon, who preferred it to taking medicine when unwell. When hounds, whose consti- tutions are delicate, become a little below the mark, the better plan is to let them miss one day's hunting, by that means they will gain more vigour, than by overloading their stomachs with food which will do them more good when it is on their backs than it will when it is inside their ribs. If you wish your hounds to run well up, and at the same time to be stout in an afternoon; keep them high in condition, always feed 70 MR, WARDE AND HIS "STOPPING BALLS." thick, proportioning the quantity to the work, and never later than nine o'clock in the forenoon, even eight o'clock is better. Some wiseacres fancy that a hound fed at three or four in the evening will be stouter at the end of the day, but it is ridiculous to suppose that a carnivorous animal, like a foxhound, can ever feel distress from want of food during thirty- six hours, provided he is well fed at other regular and stated periods. Mr. Warde was a great advocate for a little afternoon feeding ; and when inspecting the pack for thefollowing day's work, would frequently draw such as he considered too fast for the rest at three o'clock and give them what he termed " stop- ping balls," composed of oatmeal and barley-flour mixed with flesh and rolled up ; but Berkshire was a slow and cold scenting country, and the pace was not expected to be quite so good as it is upon grass. His huntsman, William Neverd, was quite of a different opinion on the subject, and told me he thought they would have done much better if his master had given the others some "quicksilver balls" instead. In looking over hounds some four or five hours after they have been fed, it is impossible to form a correct judg- ment of the quantity of food they may have eaten, or what their appearance and condition may be at ten o'clock the next morning ; some digest quicker than others do ; Rallywood whose sides appear as if he were only just fed, at two o'clock, may not have eaten any more than Vanquisher who looks at that hour almost fit to run a burst, yet by the cover side the next morning they will both look as " level as dice," and the food of both of them will be upon their backs WILL. NEVERD AND HIS "QUICKSILVER BALLS.' 71 instead of inside their bellies which it would have been had they been fed at three or four o'clock in the afternoon of the day before. Some whose digestion is weak, void their food nearly in the same state as they swallow it, and many, from the same cause, are constantly in tlie habit of throwing part of their meat off immediately after feeding; it is quite curious to see how such hounds are continually watched by the others, to whom they are as well known as the pieman would be, near the gates of a school ; for what purpose I leave my readers to guess. When hounds lose their appetites, and when they are in the habit of throwing off part of their meat imme- diately after feeding, it is a certain sign that the digestive organs are impaired; this frequently happens to puppies, when recovering from the effects of the distemper, and even the older ones whose consti- tutions are none of the strongest, are at times afflicted with dyspepsia ; it arises generally from too great an acidity in the contents of the stomach, to which all animals whose aliment is mixed with vegetable matter, are more or less liable. This tendency in the stomach to produce acid may be obviated by avoiding acescent aliments, and substituting animal food, which is not so likely to excite undue fermentation; this is evident, by turning those hounds out of the kennel, which have become sickly and dyspeptic, to feed on raw flesh, when they almost invariably in a few days become sleek and fat. This plan, however, if for a long time, or very frequently pursued, is not the most likely means of either getting them into con- dition or keeping them so, even if they were in such 72 DELICATE FEEDERS. condition, as it cannot be long continued without cor- rupting the state of their blood ; and as vegetable food cannot be entirely dispensed with, the excess of the acescency may be in a great measure avoided, by mixing in each meal a small portion of common chalk, and administering to the hounds thus affected, to each a pill, containing eight grains of calomel and thirty of jalap on every third morning for five or six mornings, and feeding them twice a-day as long as they are taking the pills ; if it is in the summer, and the weather is fine, they may go to moderate exercise with the rest. Some huntsmen are in the habit of using common reddle mixed up in the food once a week during: the summer months. I once asked Wm. Boxall, who succeeded J. Wood in the office of hunts- man to the Warwickshire pack, why he used it, but the only intelligence I could gain was that "it was a rare thing for the blood." Now reddle is nothing more nor less than red-chalk, which is an absorbent earth, and I could never discover any peculiar proper- ties in it which are not found in the common white- chalk, excepting its difference in colour. Other hounds which have the same symptoms as those de- scribed above, are also, at times, affected with purging, which arises from the same causes, and is part and parcel of the same complaint ; and until a more healthy action of the stomach is produced, we must, in vain, look for an amendment in either the appetite or secretions. From an undue fermentation and the digestion becoming morbid, an acid and phlegm- like accumulation takes place on the coats of the stomach; and as Dr. Whytt has justly observed, DELICATE FEEDERS. 73 that when much phlegm is collected in the stomach and intestines, their nerves are rendered less sensible of the stimulus of the aliments, their absorbent vessels are partly obstructed, and the gastric and intestinal lymph is more sparingly secreted, or at least becomes more viscid. This observation w^as made with regard to the human frame, but it is well known that the organic structure in the stomach of dogs, differs but little from that of human beings, both being omnivo- rous animals, many diseases being common to both, and having almost the same symptoms in each, for instance, the jaundice, or yellows, inflammation of the bowels, and many others. Iron or copper introduced into the stomachs of those which are dyspeptic and weak in their digestions very frequently increases the appetite and vigour of the circulation. I have tried occasionally one grain and a-half of blue vitriol pulverised, and rolled up in a pill, and given every morning for a week or ten days, with great success. But after all, the grand secret is, never to allow any hound to eat at one time to satiety, and feed early and thick during the hunting season. 74 CHAPTER IV.

It may be justly remarked, that not one of the various improvements upon which modern sportsmen can congratulate themselves, has rendered greater benefit to society in general than the rapid advancement which veterinary surgery has made during the nineteenth century. That dangerous and disgusting character, the old-fashioned drunken and ignorant farrier, has become obsolete, and a well educated and enlightened body of men have sprung up in that niche, which has so long been waiting for them. The horse, however, has almost entirely engrossed the whole of the attention of the profession, until within a short time ; but during the fewlast years, that most useful, THE OLD FARRIER. 75 interesting, and companionable animal, the dog, has gradually been creeping up into the notice of those professional men who practise in the metropolis. And if we may judge of what we read in the sporting periodicals, the rising generation of veterinary surgeons seem anxious, not only to make the diseases of the horse their study ; but also to extend their exertions and inquiries to those maladies and accidents to which not only the canine race, but also all other domesticated animals are liable. Although hunting has been the most fashionable amusement, amongst the gentry of England, for many centuries; strange it is, that the management of the hound, upon which animal all the hopes of success in the chace entirely depend, has been too frequently entrusted to a class of men, whose gross ignorance, in many instances, has only been surpassed by their obstinacy. That some huntsmen are exceedingly skilful in their vocation, and eminently successful in their treatment of many of the diseases with which hounds are afflicted, all must admit ; but the generality of them are ignorant and uneducated men, who by an indiscriminate and injudicious application, often ruin the credit of medi- cines and processes, which, in good hands, might otherwise have succeeded to the utmost wishes of the most sanguine. Such self taught and conceited fellows, invariably call to my recollection Sir W. Scott's well drawn character of Wayland Smith, to whom he has very aptly applied the following words of Perseus :— " Diluis helleborum, certo compescere puncto, Moscius examen t" 76 THE OLD FARRIER, which has thus been translated : — " Wilt tbou mix helebore, who doth not know How many grains will to the mixture go V When a dog recovers from any dangerous disease or accident, it is generally attributed to the efficacy of the remedy, and to the great skill with which the medicine or application has been used ; but nine times in ten the poor animal, if he could reflect within him- self, and speak the real and stubborn truth, would tell us that it was his tough and invincible constitution, with which nature has gifted him, which has borne him through, not only the trying effects of the disease, but also the still more dangerous consequences of cruelly misapplied nostrums and operations. Nine country veterinary surgeons out of ten, even in the most simple cases, when called in, profess the utmost ignorance of the diseases connected with the kennel ; and as the knowledge of anatomy, which generally falls to the share of even the most enlightened sportsman is very limited, the cure or rather the attempt of cure is generally carried on in the dark, and at the utmost hazard of life or recovery. In the management of not only my own hounds, but also of numerous pointers and other sporting dogs, for the space of about nine- teen years, the chief assistance upon which I could rely has been the recipes and advice of those huntsmen, whom I considered the most intelligent and experienced ; where receipts have succeeded, I have continued, to use them, but have invariably rejected those which might fail in their operations ; as to the veterinary surgeons I never could prevail upon one in any instance to attempt to assist me, either with regard to the use Blaine's canine pathology. 77 of different kinds of medicines, or in the performance of any common operation which might be necessary ; but a medical gentleman* in very high practice in the neighbourhood where I resided, and with whom I was upon terms of intimacy, constantly assisted me, not only in many and frequent operations upon my hounds, but also in the choice of divers medicines and other remedies. I have read attentively nearly every sporting book, that has ever been published since the " Gentleman's Recreation," but with little benefit to myself, as I have seldom, if ever, met with one single instance of any recipes succeeding, which I may have been induced to try. The only book from which I liave derived the least information, is one entitled " Canine Pathology," by Mr. Blaine ; and I must confess, that that book stands alone amongst the many which have been foisted upon the public, as one which may be entirely depended upon ; no sportsman should be without it ; it gives not the effects of theoretical and inexperienced advice, but the effusions of the understanding of a man who has made the study of the diseases of the dog his chief pursuit, and who has most eminently succeeded in the undertaking. When com- pared with the horse the dog is subject but to few maladies, this is in a great measure owing to the coldness of his temperament, the hardiness of his constitution, and the great strength of his digestive powers. He is seldom attacked with inflammation, although cases of enteritis or inflammation of the bowels are sometimes to be met with. Inflammation in the eyes, although not so frequent as one might • I.

THE DISTEMPER, Which is the first disease to which hounds are generally subject, is in the opinion of all men the most fatal which has ever discovered itself in the canine race ; thousands are annually swept off by this dreadful plague, and as it breaks out in so many various forms, the possibility of finding remedies to counteract it is rendered far more difficult. In the report of the veterinary medical association for March, 1838, a Mr. Simonds, in expressing his congratulations at the prospect of the diseases of dogs becoming the subject of inquiry amongst the veterinarians of the present day, goes on to say, that " distemper is primarily an affec- tion of the Schneiderian membrane ; thence, in certain constitutions, it is transmitted to the lungs, and we have pneumonia in one of its various forms ; sometimes to the intestines, and we have diarhoea and dysentry, and sometimes by simple proximity, or through the medium of the ethmoidal processes it attacks the brain, and we have epilepsy ;" and very justly adds, " it is clear that we have no specific for such a disease." There certainly is no specific for the distemper ; and THE DISTEMPER. 79 not unfrequently, the very medicine which is given to one dog which recovers, when administered to another will cause immediate death. I have tried numbers of remedies upon dogs of all ages and con- ditions ; many Ihavecured, or rather fancied I have cured, and hundreds I have seen sink under the disease, even when they have been attended with the strictest care and attention. Vaccination was considered, a few years since, as a certain preventive ; but I have been credibly informed, that the disciples of this foolish doctrine are daily on the decrease. The only trial I have ever given this remedy failed, as the puppies, upon which I operated, all sickened soon after and died ; they were a litter of four spaniels, and were vaccinated inside the flap of the ears, the incisions inflamed and crusted over, but whether they were good and genuine cow- pock pustules, I was unable to determine : Numerous other sportsmen, with whom I am acquainted, have given vaccination a fair trial, but the results have been by no means satisfactory. When very young puppies are attacked with distemper, the only remedy is, to administer gentle doses of castor oil, keep them very clean and warm, and nature must do the rest. Hunts- men differ as to the keeping young hounds when suflfering from distemper, warm or cold ; I should recommend them to be kept cool, provided they were not starved, and at the same time that the ventilation should be pure and free. In May, 1840, I visited the Duke of Cleveland's kennels at Raby, about a fortnight previous to the sale of his Grace's hounds at York, to the tune of Mr. Tattersal's hammer. Upon my entering the lodging-room of the young hounds who were 80 THE DISTEMPER. stretched about in all directions, looking like sufferers from the plague in the streets of Alexandria, the whole of the windows being open, and rain accompanied with a west wind driving in, which gave the place more the character of a dairy or butcher's slaughter house than a kennel; I remarked to the feeder, the only- person about the premises, that I thought the puppies full cool and airy, but the only answer I got was, " Us always keeps 'em so." I can only add that most of them died between that day and the day of sale. Neither huntsman nor whipper-in were in attendance ; and how forcibly the old saying about " the master's eye, &c." struck at the moment. These hounds were kept cool enough to be sure, but when coolness is recommended, it is understood that cold starvation is not implied in the treatment. When puppies are grown to a larger size, other attempts may be made to effect a cure ; but although I have tried each of the recipes which I have offered with partial success, the only and best system to pursue is the following. Be before hand with the disease if you can, and upon the first symptoms, bleed freely, give the dog frequent but gentle emetics, also some mild opening medicine ; if he refuse to eat, feed him with a spoon on good nourishing, but light food, such as soup made of shins of beef; there is no danger of loading his stomach, as the constant administering of aperient medicine will prevent it ; let him be kept very warm and clean, particularly about the nose and eyes ; if there is a discharge at the nostrils, bleeding should be dispensed with. If his eyes are much affected, let a seton be put into the back of the neck behind his ears. If he con- THE DISTEMPER. tiniies to get worse, still give liim mild emetics composed of opium, tartar emetic, and camphor, the receipt for which will be given below, and attend particularly to the state of his bowels ; in cases where the patient has appeared at nearly the last extremity, I have known barm given in doses of about two ounces to produce the best effects; it is a thing which has been used in putrid fevers amongst human beings, with the most salutary results ; a Mr. Cartwright was the first discoverer of the efficacy of this simple medicine, an account of which may be seen by referring to Dr. Thornton's " Philosophy of Medicine." If with the above treatment, with strict attention to feeding the dog well upon good light but nourishing and wholesome food, and at the same time keeping him cool and dry, he does not recover, I fear in vain must his owner seek otherwise for relief. Many young hounds die of absolute exhaustion, after the worse stages of the disease are passed, from cruel neglect and idleness, when a little attention, to merely giving them nutritious food and strengthening medicine, might undoubtedly have saved their lives. The following pill given to puppies recovering from distemper, and also to older hounds which have been debilitated in their consti- tutions, I have frequently found to have the very best effect : — Take of Quinine 24 grains Gentian powder lialf ounce Bark powder half ounce Cinnamon powder one and half drachm Sulphuric acid eight drops To be made into eight balls with syrup, and one to be given every morning fasting. G 82 THE DISTEMPER. It has been supposed that this direful disease was first introduced into this country, from France, where it was designated by the term of, " La Maladie." It may now, however, be considered to have become naturalized amongst the whole of the canine race in this island ; and not only are some kinds of dogs more subject to the disease than others, but in some kennels this dreadful scourge seems inherent in particular breeds ; I could enumerate several packs of hounds (but the exposing the misfortunes of some of the most justly celebrated establishments of the day, is by no means my intention) where undoubtedly the dis- temper, in a very aggravated form, has been handed down from one generation to another, until it has become one of the peculiar characteristics of the blood. Mr. Blaine's remarks upon distemper are so excellent, that I would advise the reader to peruse them attentively ; they are far too extensive to insert in this short chapter, but the few following lines are so exceedingly descriptive of the cause of the disease, that I shall insert them without apology. " The dis- temper has become so naturalized amongst our dogs, that very few escape the disease altogether. A con- stitutional liability to it is inherent in every individual of the canine race, which predisposition is usually acted upon by some occasional cause. The predispo- sition itself in some breeds seems sufficient to produce it, and such have it frequently very soon after birth ; but the predisposition is more frequently acted upon by some occasional cause, of which there are many. " Contagion may be regarded as the principal of these ; few dogs who have not passed through the THE DISTEMPER. 83 disease, escape it when exposed to the effluvia or the contact of the morbid secretions received on a mncoiis or an ulcerated surface. Yet inoculation with dis- temper virus frequently fails to produce it, and the disposition to receive the contagion is likewise not always in equal force, but it appears stronger and weaker, at various periods in the same animal, and is perhaps under the controul of the accidental changes in healthfulness of habit, &c., &c. Cold applied in any noxious manner to the system, is a very common origin of the complaint ; throwing into water, washing, and not after drying the animal, unusual exposure during the night, &c., are frequently causes of dis- temper, in young and tender dogs. I have seen it produced by violent hemorrage, by a sudden change from a full to a low diet, and in fact, any great or sudden derangement in the system is sufficient to call the predisposition into action. The usual period of its attack is that of puberty, or when the dog attains his full growth ; in some it is protracted to two, three, or even many years old, and a very few escape it altogether. The having once passed through the disease, is not a certain preventive to a future attack. It occasionally appears a second time, and an instance fell under my notice of a third recurrence, with the intervention of two years between each attack." In another place Mr. Blaine says, in speaking of the effects produced by the distemper. " The import- ance of the subject renders it not improper again to repeat, that of all the symptoms that appear the epileptic convulsions are the most fatal. It is, therefore, of the utmost consequence to prevent their G 2 84 MAJOR BLAG rave's SYSTEM. occurrence ; for when once they have made their attack, art is too apt to fail in attempting their removal. The best preventive means that I know of, are to avoid or to remove all circumstances tending to produce debility, as looseness, low poor diet, too much exercise, exposure to cold, extreme evacuation from the nose, and no less the operation of mental irritation from fear, surprise, or regret ; all of which, I must again repeat, are very common causes of fits in distemper."* BALLS TOR THE DISTEMPER. Tartar emetic twelve grains Opium six grains Camphor two drachms. To be mixed and divided into six balls. Give to a large dog two balls, to a small dog one ball, fasting, for several mornings, or as occasion may require. When dogs first begin to husk is the proper time to attack the disease, and at that period 1 have frequently given three or four cloves (not heads) of garlic beat up with butter with success. This disease exists in various degrees of virulence, in some instances it is so severe that it will carry off those attacked in twenty-four hours, whilst in others, a lingering illness is the result. Major Blagrave, who kept harriers many years, told me that he used to pursue the following method, and that he was convinced it was the cause of saving; the lives of a great number of puppies. As soon as he had seven or eight couples, grown very strong and * The practice of dressing or anointing young hounds when suffering from distemper is by no means to be recommended ; although the seasonable use of this most salutary application preserves health, and renders not only distemper, but other diseases less violent in their attacks. JAUNDICE OR YELLOWS. 85 ready to go to quarters, he inquired amongst his neighbours for any young dog which might have become distempered with the milder sort, and which he placed amongst his own puppies, and by thus introducing a less virulent form of the disease amongst them, he seldom or never knew them to sicken after- wards with the distemper in its more aggravated stages, even when they might experience a second attack. SECTION SECOND. ICTERUS, JAUNDICE OR YELLOWS. This disease which exhibits itself in many quad- rupeds in exactly the same form which it does in the human frame, is thus described by Dr. Thornton in his " Philosophy of Medicine." " If after bile is secreted, its free admission into the duodenum be impeded, so that an accumulation of it takes place in the excretory ducts of the liver, it either regurgitates into the habit of the hepatic veins, or is absorbed by the lymphatic system, in either case it produces the disease called jaundice." This is frequently generated by too high feeding, without a sufficient quantity of exercise ; lying in damp places will also produce it ; it is exceedingly dangerous, when it attacks puppies which are also suffering from distemper, and it almost invariably proves fatal, at least I never knew an instance of recovery. Blaine says, that " dogs become affected with hepatic absorption, in distemper and acute inflam- mation of the abdominal viscera, but that icteric obstruction to the flow of bile producing human jaundice I have not met with in them." The method which I have always pursued has generally proved 86 ON WORMS. successful, which is, first to bleed freely, and then give the following pills. 10 grains of Calomel 2 drachms QEthiops mineral 3 drachms Rhubarb I ounce Castile soap ^ ounce Aloes Make this into six balls with some honey, and give one every three mornings ; if it does not succeed, omit a day, and repeat it again. The dog must be kept warm, and fed with broth and other light food as with the distemper. Edward Rose, huntsman to his Grace the Duke of Grafton, and son of old Tom Rose, who filled that situation with great credit for so many years, gave me the following receipt, and assured me that he had known frequent instances of its effecting a cure in the yellows, when calomel and other remedies had failed. But as I never tried it myself, I am unable to give an opinion upon it. THE FOLLOWING IS THE RECEIPT.^ Mix some nitre and honey together well melted, and give it to the dog, with a spoon, it will cause him to vomit in a few minutes; and rub-in along the back for a few mornings some mercurial ointment. SECTION THIRD. ON WORMS. Strange it may appear, but I scarcely ever knew a dog of any description, which was not occasionally in the habit of voiding these most troublesome insects. Many remedies have been prescribed, but few have any effect in completely eradicating the disease. ON WORMS. 87 When young hounds first come up from their quar- ters, nine out of ten are generally more or less af- flicted with them. In this case, a few doses of sulphur and high feeding will very frequently remove them ; but in some instances they appear so firmly rooted in the stomach, as to defy every medicine which may be administered for the expulsion. Calomel in doses of from eight to ten grains, given every third morning, is a good medicine ; but the dog must be fed exceed- ingly high during that time, and also after physicing, as the disease proceeds from weakness of stomach in a great measure ; after three or four doses, physic mildly with salts and sulphur, feeding very high. Turpentine has also been frequently and successfully given, both in the form of pills made with flower, and also tied up in little pieces of wet bladder like boluses. I have tried all these recipes, but the fol- lowing is the most efflcacious with which I have ever met. — Take of Calomel six grains Tartarized antimony one and a half grains Powdered jalap ten grains To be made into a pill, and to be repeated if necessary. This is also an excellent prescription for foulness, as it is called in the kennel. The numerous medicines recommended for the cure of worms in dogs may be divided into two classes, the mechanical and chemical. The mechanical are those which expel the worms from the stomach, frequently alive, by the pain and irritation they cause to them, as fihngs of tin, powder of cowhage, and bruised glass. The chemical are W» ON WORMS. much more numerous, and of a different nature, generally of a poisonous quality, and causing death to the worms before they are brought away from the body. By an extract form a formula written by Dr. Thornton, in his "Philosophy of Medicine," I have shown the effect that the different medicines used[to cure worms, have upon the common earth-worm, which according to naturalists, is the same in struc- ture, manner of subsistance, and mode of propagating its species with many of the worms found in the bodies of men and animals.

It is sometimes called taenia arti- ON DRESSING AND MANGE. 89 culos dimittens, from the frequency of its parting with its joints. It was for a great length of time sup- posed by many eminent men, that only one worm existed in the same individual, from whence it was called Solium, and by the French " le ver solitaire.^'' But it has since been satisfactorily proved, that each link is a single worm, which has a head capable of imbibing nourishment; but that the first joint alone is possessed of the powers of reproduction. All kinds of animals are at times subject to this disease, and the worms which come away, are frequently of a very considerable length. I have discovered a string of worms lying in a field, which had been recently voided by a sheep, of the length of upwards of six yards; and I have read accounts of others which were much longer. SECTION FOURTH. ON DRESSING AND MANGE. The best time to dress hounds is when their coats are stirring, and when the weather is mild and warm. A new draught should be invariably dressed previous to their being introduced into the hunting-kennel, as by that means the possibility of introducing fleas and ticks, which they may have picked up whilst tra- velling, will be prevented. The following is the simplest and best to be recom- mended : — DRESSING FOR TEN COUPLES OF HOUNDS, Take two gallons of train oil (but linseed is better) and put it into a small iron boiler or pot, and add one 90 WOUNDS AND BITES. pint of spirit of tar, and two pounds of soft soap, mix it well together and make it hot with a gentle fire. Then put it into a large pail, and add one pint and a half of spirits of turpentine, and about two quarts of train-oil, in which has been mixed with the hand minutely, as much sulphur as will make a thick oint- ment of the two quarts. Stir all together, and when cool, rub it in with the hand. Boiling the sulphur spoils it. This will not only eradicate all vermin, but will cure the common mange. THE RED MANGE. For the red mange, the following is the only remedy which I know will effect a cure with any certainty : Mix soft soap and quicksilver together into as strong a blue ointment as can be made, and rub a lump as big as a walnut into each knee-joint for seven or eight mornings, which will cause salivation; and give a dose often grains of calomel on every third day, for three mornings. SECTION FIFTH. When a hound requires any operation to be per- formed upon him in the kennel, be it ever so trifling, let him be first properly secured, as, if he once gets the upper hand, he will always be exceedingly trou- blesome to manage. If he is fractious, he should be caught with a whip, or even two whips, in a resolute and workmanlike manner, before the couples are put on him, and not hunted round the court and irritated by a bungling tailor, who is frightened at him; the muzzle should then be firmly strapped on, and with a WOUNDS AND BITES. 91 strong cord he should be tied up to a staple in the wall ; being thus carefully secured, the huntsman may search for thorns or stubs in his feet and limbs, in safety, as all attempts to do any mischief to the operator will be unavailing. Many are the accidents to which all dogs, but more particularly fox-hounds, are liable, such as cuts, bruises, strains, and punctures, from thorns and stubs, as well as from deep and severe bites from their com- panions. The tongue of the dog has generally been considered as the best remedy for a wound, but from experience I should say, that in nine cases out of ten, the remedy only increases the grief, by keeping the place open until it becomes morbid; and from want of sufficient inflammation to heal it, an obstinate can- cerous sore is not unfrequently the consequence. Blaine, in speaking of the wounds in dogs, says, " However bad, they are not generally much attended to, from an opinion that the animal's tongue is the best dressing. This is very questionable; in some instances, I am certain, no application can be worse to a wounded dog, than his own tongue. Whenever dogs are at all inclined to foulness, as it is called, a sore so licked is sure to become mangy, and to be aggravated by the licking." After cleansing the wound from dirt, and well fomenting it in hot water, the following applications will be found infallible in all simple cases : FOR BITES AND CUTS IN HOUNDS. Balm drops, two ounces Tincture of myrrh, two ounces Nitrous acid, half ounce. To be rubbed on the wound. 92 WOTTNDS AND BITES. FOR A STRAIN OR BITE IN THE KNEE. Spirit of wine, one ounce Sweet nitre, one ounce Spirit of opodeldoc, one ounce Spirit of salamoniac, one ounce. To be well rubbed in. ANOTHER MOST EXCELLENT REMEDY FOR BRUISES AND CUTS. Oil of salts, one ounce Oil of bays, two ounces Oil of spike, two ounces Oil of petre, two ounces Oil of vitriol, sixty drops. To be well rubbed in once a day. RED OILS FOR BITES OR BLOWS. 4 drachms rectified oil of amber 1 ounce spirit of lavender 1 ounce spirit of turpentine 3 ounces white wine vinegar. FOR SORE FEET. Some huntsmen use Friars' balsam alone, or a styptic tincture made of oil of vitriol, five drops, and tincture of myrrli, one ounce, which is a good remedy. But the following is the very best application which I have ever tried ; I had it from the late Mr. J. Warde's kennel in Berkshire (a very flinty country), where it was used for many years : Blue vitriol, three ounces Roch alum, three ounces Vinegar, one and a half pint. To be mixed together. Let it be kept warm for two months, either near the fire, or let it be buried in a heap of stable-manure. The older it is the more astringent it becomes. CANKER IN THE EAR. 93 EYES WEAK OR INJURED. First take some blood from the hound thus injured ; give a mild dose of physic, and foment the eye vei^y frequently with warm water ; afterwards bathe it with an eye water, composed of rose water and white vitriol mixed as for a human being, but rather stronger ; it is far better than goulard water, which is too harsh and drying. If the eye still continues to be inflamed, put a seton in his neck. Weak eyes are very frequently the effect of heat of constitution, and want of condition. See Blaine's chapter on diseases of eyes. FOR THE BITE OF A VIPER. Rub the part bitten with very strong hartshorn and oil repeatedly, and give doses of linseed oil, (but olive is better) internally. If the part swells and pockets, open it below the swelling with a lancet, and rub it with the dressing recommended above. SWELLED TOES. Give a mild dose of salts, and foment continually ; afterwards rub gently in the lotion for cuts and bruises. CANKER IN THE EAR. This generally arises from a foulness of habit, as a thrush does in the foot of the horse ; dogs much exposed to the water, as otter-hounds, are particularly subject to it. I have known hounds to have had this complaint for years, and no material inconvenience to arise from it, excepting the disagreeable sight of the animal continually shaking his head. To cure it, first bleed, keep him cool and low, and inject an astringent 94 FISTULA. wash composed of six ounces of rain water, in which should be mixed as much alum as it will dissolve, to which add about twenty grains of white vitriol ; let it be injected with a small syringe. Hounds seldom are afflicted with canker on the outside of the ear, as long- eared dogs are. Rounding, which is the only certain cure, prevents it. BREAKING OUT AND TETTERS. Hounds when at work will occasionally break out in little patches, even under the care of the most vigilant feeder ; if the place is touched with a little spirit of tar, it will be easily cured. Nothing looks worse than to see a hound at the cover side with a patch of blue ointment on his back. I must again repeat, if the insides are well attended to, and hard condition promoted earlier in the summer than is too frequently the case, red elbows and tetters would seldom or never be seen in the hunting season. FOR A FISTULA FORMED IN HOUNDs' LEGS FROM A BITE OR OTHER WOUND. " Fistulous wounds," says Blaine, " in glandular parts, often prove very obstinate. In such cases, means must be taken to get at the bottom of the sinus, and to raise a more healthy inflammation therein. This may be done either by injecting something stimulant into it, as a vitriolic wash, or by passing a seton through it. Some fistulous wounds, such as those in the feet and about the joints, will often not heal ; because either the bones or the capsular liga- ments are diseased. In these cases the wound in SWELLED NECK AND SORE THROAT. 95 general requires to be laid open to the bottom, and to be stimulated with oil of turpentine, or with tincture of Spanish flies, daily, till the foul diseased bone or ligament is throAvn off, when a healing process will immediately commence." The plan I have always pursued, has been the following ; in some instances I have effected a cure; but I have frequently seen hounds so diseased as to baffle the most indefatigable perseverance : first cut open to the bottom of the sinus, and dress very lightly with butter of antimony, once in four or five days. Care should be taken not to use too much of this severe application, as it will destroy the flesh and increase the evil. I once had a hound named Waterloo, whose leg became fistulous to the utmost degree, from the effect of a bite in the knee ; as soon as I cured it in one place in the front, another broke out at the back, and his limb was like a honey- comb up to the very shoulder. As he ran sound, I kept him at work for three months, when a complete cure was eflfected by the above treatment, added to frequent mild doses of medicine ; he rested occasionafly on account of the inflammation caused by the dressing ; but the work itself, by invigorating his constitution, was no doubt one great cause of his recovery. SWELLED NECK AND SORE THROAT. Hounds are frequently afflicted with a swelling in their necks, not unlike the mumps ; and at other times we find them attacked with inflammatory sore throat ; it is very similar to that disease which among human beings is appropriately designated by the name of " Cynanche Tonsilaris," from ^uwv a dog and "''X'^ to 96 ON FRACTURES. suffocate. I have seen them suffering almost to starvation, and when they have approached the trough, thrust in their jaws, and attempt to eat, but, owing to the intense swelHng, their mouths being gagged wide open, they have been unable to swallow. The remedy which I have always pursued, and which I have invariably found to succeed, is, to give several doses of castor oil, if possible, and blister repeatedly with any strong liquid blister ; it is a very difficult thing to get a blister to rise upon the skin of a dog, therefore the application can hardly be mixed too strong. ON FRACTURED LIMBS. Although the fractured limbs of dogs will recover quicker than those of almost any other animal, and even in some instances without any assistance from even a bandage, upon their recovering, their speed will almost invariably have forsaken them ; I never knew an instance of a fox-hound being able to run wtll up, after meeting with such an accident, excepting Lord Middleton's Conqueror, whose thigh was broken by a kick from a horse. Unless the hound is worth keeping, either as a stallion, or brood bitch, the more merciful way would be to have him imme- diately destroyed. A broken thigh or arm, however, soon unites if a plaster or bandage is carefully placed round it with splints. Let the patient be kept con- tinually muzzled, except when fed, to prevent him gnawing off the bandage. Take some blood from him, and give him several mild doses of physic. ON PHYSICING HOUNDS IN GENERAL. 97 SECTION SIXTH. ON PHYSICING HOUNDS IN GENERAL. We are now about to treat upon the practice of physicing hounds, which is far from being the least interesting topic embraced in kennel management, and concerning which more different opinions perhaps exist than upon any other subject connected with con- dition. Food of the best quality, and properly ad- ministered, added to a well regulated system of exer- cise, is no doubt the main point to be attended to in the management of not only fox-hounds, but all other animals whose corporeal exertions are required to be tried to the utmost of their abilities ; but unavailing would this system of care and attention prove, with- out the timely application of those medicinal auxiliaries, without which the various channels of the body, or secretions, would, from excess of stimuli, quickly be- come overcharged and devoid of their proper and natural tone. " It is the condition of the hound which gives him the advantage over the animal he hunts," says Colonel Cook, in his " Observations on Fox- hunting." But how is this point of condition to be attained ? Not by overloading his stomach with food, and consequently his circulation and absorbents with grossness, but by introducing as much and no more nutriment than can be easily and thoroughly digested. Of the feeding of hounds I have spoken sufficiently in a former chapter, and shall content myself here with making a few observations upon the medicine which is considered necessary to be used in getting a pack of fox-hounds into condition. Nearly all hunts- H 98 ON PHYSICING HOUNDS IN GENERAL. men have their favourite receipts for physic ; but although there may be various M^ays of producing the effect required, still the principle upon which each plan is founded must stand the same in all cases. Large bodies of animals which are kept together, such as sheep, horses, cattle, hounds, and even human beings, from living on exactly the same food, breathing air of the same temperature, and pursuing the same habits, become by degrees very similar in their constitutions ; this is evident by diseases, which are not contagious, breaking out in schools, workhouses, and other places, where a large body of human beings are in the habit of living together. We may also see the same thing amongst cattle, and in studs of horses, where an epizootic frequently shows itself, without the possi- bility of its having spread by contagion. Hounds which have been kept together for months, and even years, eating the same food, and following in every way the same line of existence, become so much alike in their natures and constitutions, that medicine, during a general and periodical physicing, will have, excepting in a very few instances, exactly the same effect upon each individual ; it may vary in the de- gree, but the nature of the effect will be the same, or nearly the same, in all. For this reason, the system of physicing in the trough is always pursued by good judges. Some persons may exclaim, the greedy feeders will get a stronger dose than the rest, but that is the very reason why the system is recommended ; the hard feeders are always the foulest in their constitu- tions, and therefore require the most. Nothing is easier than to regulate that part of the business ; and ON PHYSICING HOUNDS IN GENERAL. 99 the shy find delicate may generally be coaxed into eating a sufficiency for the purpose. Occasionally old hounds are met with of so cunning and suspicious a nature, thart nothing can induce them to eat that meat in which physic may have been mixed. I have known instances of them going without food for two days, rather than be thus cheated. In such cases, the best plan is to give it to them in the shape of balls, taking care to tie their heads up to a staple for half an hour afterwards, to prevent their throwing them off. If the weather is warm, they may be coupled up in the drawing court ; if it is in winter, let them be tied up against the wall in the boiling house. Amongst the many minerals, drugs, and other me- dicines used amongst dogs, sulphur is the principal ; and if it were ten times its price, I have no doubt it would be held in far higher esteem than it is, not only by canine practitioners, but also by those gentle- men who exercise their talents amongst the lords of the creation. Dr. Henry, in his Elements of Chemistry, tells us that the best sulphur comes from Sicily, and that which is procured in our own island is of an inferior quality, and contains a portion of the metal from combination with which it has been sepa- rated. I am convinced that it is the best and most efficacious physic, when followed by mild doses of salts, that has ever been recommended for hounds. Some persons prefer syrup of buckthorn and jallap, but as they cannot influence nor act upon the blood- vessels and secretions as sulphur does, nor affect the liver in any way, I am at a loss to discover why they are preferable. In cases of extreme foulness, ji 2 100. ON PHYSICING HOUNDS IN GENERAL. and in liver complaints, calomel and tartarised antimony are undoubtedly indispensable ; but where merely relieving the stomach of its load is the object, I should conceive that the method by which it was effected in the mildest and quickest form would be the best. For this reason, salts are the very best purgative which can be given. The practice of giving salts in human beings is objected to on account of constipation almost invariably following the operation of the medicine ; but with dogs it has quite a contrary effect ; and 1 never knew one single instance of hounds being confined in their bodies, even after the strongest dose. The more general practice of administering sulphur is to give a good large dose of it one morning in every week during the summer months, as an alterative ; but if huntsmen would adopt the following plan in- stead, they would find the result far more salutary, and that the quantity of sulphur consumed would go twice as far. About four or five days after giving the first dose of Epsom salts, I would commence with giving sulphur in each day's feed in very moderate quantities, just sufficient to cause the hounds to smell strong of it, for seven or eight successive mornings ; then miss two clear mornings, and on the third give a dose of Epsom salts. In mixing the salts, care should be taken not to scald them, as the practice of so doing will consi- derably weaken their purgative powers, they should be mixed in the trough amongst the lukewarm meat ; the usual allowance is one large handful for each couple of hounds. Those who may consider buckthorn a ad jalap as a ON LAMENESS IN THE SHOULDERS. 101 superior medicine, will find the following receipt a good one. I have tried it myself; and if I did not prefer that which I have recommended above, I should invariably make use of it : Syrup of buckthorn, tluee quarts Jalap, quarter of a pound ; to which add three quarters of a pound of cream of tartar, to be mixed in their food. This is sufficient for twenty couples of hounds. SECTION SEVENTH. ON LAMENESS IN THE SHOULDERS AND STIFLE-JOINTS. In a previous chapter on the kennel, I set forth in a clear light the real and only cause of kennel lameness existing in hounds ; upon the cause J shall say no more; and even with regard to an attempt at cure, the undertaking will be useless, unless the pack are first removed to another more healthy spot. The usual remedies are blistering (which seldom does any good), putting setons in the shoulders, and turning out of the kennel to run loose; but, amongst the whole of the systems recommended, the last, namely, giving the animal his liberty for a time, may be con- sidered the most efficacious. Many hounds become unsound in their shoulders also from other causes, such as blows from rushing out of the kennel and striking themselves against a door-way, and from kicks from horses, and other acci- dents, also from being lost, and lying out all night in a damp situation ; by proper care and management, they may from suvh casualties eventually recover. 102 ON LAMENESS IN THE SHOULDERS. When you perceive a clog to travel badly and go tender before, he should immediately be examined as to the locality of his lameness. If it is situated in the knee, it may be plainly perceived by gently bending in the knee-joint ; but if the grief is in the shoulder, by pulling forward his leg, he will immediately show you, by the pain he suffers, the seat of the misery. The first thing to be done is to have him well fo- mented daily for some hours; take some blood from him in the shoulder vein; and afterwards rub in the embrocation, a receipt for which was given above. If this with rest will not re-establish his soundness, you must insert a seton either on the top of the shoulder, or below, at the point of the shoulder; let him be turned out to run loose, care being taken to shut him up warm at night by himself, or the other hounds will gnaw off his seton. Kennel lameness, which is neither more nor less than "acute rheumatism," affects hounds in various ways ; sometimes in the shoulders ; at other times they appear to be suffering under lumbago, or a violent pain in the loins or spine, which is evident when pressing those parts with the hand. Blaine does not mention this disease under the name of kennel lame- ness; but, in his chapter on rheumatism, describes a complaint very similar to it, and at the same time recommends the same remedies for the one which would be used for the cure of the other. He says, in speaking of the above mentioned dis- ease, that " it seldom attacks the smaller joints, but confines itself to the trunk and upper portions of the extremities; neither does it wander, as the human IMPLEMENTS USED IX THE KEXNEI. 103 rheumatism, from place to place, but usually remains where it first attacked." He also says that no dogs are ever afflicted with rheumatism without also beino; affected in the bowels with constipation. I have never particularly ob- served that in hounds ; but nothing tends more to keep a pack at work, which may be afflicted by the disease, than frequent doses of mild physic, especially of sulphur. In cases of rheumatism amongst human beings, sulphur has been found to give great relief; and in that famous recipe for rheumatism and rheu- matic gout called the "Chelsea Pensioner," sulphur forms the chief ingrredient.* Lameness in the stifle-joints may also be treated in the same manner as when it appears in the shoulders ; for an obstinate stifle lameness I have tried firing, but absolute rest is the best remedy. SECTION EIGHTH. IMPLEMENTS AND DRUGS USED IN THE KENNEL. A huntsman should invariably have his different instruments nicely cleaned, and laid in such order as to be ready at the shortest notice. Amongst them may be enumerated a brand, rounding irons, and mal- * As many sportsmen are troubled with rheumatism to a distressing degree from being so frequently wet about the shoulders and knees, the following recipe may not be found unacceptable : — Half an ounce of milk of sulphur, Half an ounce of cream of tartar. Quarter of an ounce of rhubarb, Quarter of an ounce of gum guiacum, Tea-spoonful of ginger, and a small nutmeg, To which add half a pound of honey. Take a tea-spoonful night and morning. This is a most excellent recipe. 104 ON RABIES CANINA, OR DOG MADNESS. lets, two large seton needles (these should be made to order, as it is very difficult to obtain them ready made with the eyes sufficiently large), case of large lancets, claw nippers and pliers, probe, forceps, knives of various sizes, divers straight and bent needles and silk, two or three pairs of scissors, with many other things too numerous to mention here. Also a good dry cupboard, invariably under lock and key, containing, ready for use, a large bottle of tinc- ture of rhubarb, a large flask of castor-oil, liniment for bites, cuts, &c., a box containing the calomel and antimony pills, some Venice turpentine, mercurial ointment, jar of sharp-water, spirit of tar, bottle of eye-water, a pound or two of cream of tartar, &c. To these may be added, to be kept dry, two or three hundred weight of sulphur, and a large stone bottle of spirit of turpentine, also a large barrel of chalk. In using any lotion, sharp-water, &c., a small quantity should be poured into a bottle for immediate use, as constantly opening the large bottle considerably weakens its medicinal properties. SECTION NINTH. ON RABIES CANINA, OR DOG MADNESS. It may seem almost impossible, amongst the various opinions that have been given by those authors who have before written upon this subject, (and whose au- thority upon other canine diseases may have never been for one moment called in question) both with regard to the origin, and also the re-production of this dreadful malady, for any one to decide positively whether '* Rabies Canina " can be produced in dogs ON RABIES CAMNA, OR DOG MADNESS. 105 spontaneously, or from the effects of a wound inflicted by the teeth of a rabid animal alone. Facts, however, as we have been often told, are " stubborn things," and to facts alone ought we to look for a proof of that doctrine which we may wish to establish. The dis- ciples of Dr. Hamilton are considerably on the decline, but are still occasionally to be met with, although Mr. Blaine, in his "Canine Pathology," has most clearly explained that the disease is not produced without inoculation. In page 226, he says, in one of the marginal notes, in speaking of the epidemic fury with which it seemed at times to have raged, according to many historical accounts, " Not that I believe the rabid malady ever arises spontaneously, but that sometimes the inoculation of it takes place under circumstances particularly favourable to its rise and future propagation." And in page 234, we find the folio wins: remark : "As far as mine own ex- perience goes, as far as close observation, and attentive consideration, have enabled me to judge, I have no hesitation to give it as my opinion, that the disease is never now of spontaneous origin. Among my most unlimited opportunities of remarking the subject, I never met with one instance of rabies in a dog wholly excluded from the access of others." If any one will give himself the trouble, or rather the pleasure of reading Mr. Blaine's chapter upon canine madness, he will meet with abundance of anecdotes illustrative of the positive proof of the disease being propagated by inoculation alone, and of the extreme folly of supposing that it is produced by excessive heat, unwholesome food, an acrid state of the blood, or 106 ON RABIES CANINA, OR DOG MADNESS. from any other remote causes. I will, therefore, merely refer my reader to those interesting pages, without copying out their contents, as it is far from my wish to crowd this book with information that can be so easily procured elsewhere, or to gain to myself the imputation which has been laid to the charge of Mr. Gillman, on his " Prize Dissertation," of wearino- plumes gathered from the Memoir written by Mr. Blaine, upon this disease, and which was afterwards inserted in " Rees' CyclopBedia." At a later period, we find Mr. Youatt, who, in his early life, was a partner of Mr, Blaine, bringing for- ward the subject in an enthusiastic and masterly manner, in the pages of the " Veterinarian ;" and by the scientific way in which he has exposed the absurd errors by which it has been surrounded, we may look forward with increased hope, that the day is not very far distant, when a thorough knowledge in every branch of a disease which is more to be dreaded than any other in the whole range of veterinary practice, will not only be firmly established, but that some certain remedy for it may also be discovered, to which it may eventually yield. Mr. Youatt, like his pre- decessor, denies the possibility of the disease being propagated except by inoculation, and which he dis- tinctly proves by a long course of well-digested reasoning, and undeniably authenticated anecdotes.* Of the numerous instances of rabies showing itself in sporting dogs, and which have come within the pale of mine own knowledge, the few following will suf- * See " Veterinarian," for July, 1838. ON RABIES CANINA, OR DOG MADNESS. 107 fice to convince my readers that there is just reason for entertaining the same opinion as Mr. Blaine and Mr. Youatt, upon the almost certainty of the disease being propagated by inoculation alone. What makes the circumstances more extraordinary is, that they all happened during the same year, namely, at the end of the winter of 1835-6 ; which might give some persons the idea that it must have been some kind of epizootic by which the hounds were attacked, and not by the real " rabies canina." But the fact, that only one pack in each establishment was attacked, would, I should suppose, with any reasonable person, set that doubt at rest. At the close of the winter above-men- tioned, the '' bitch pack" of the\yarwickshire hounds, then under the management of Mr. Thornhill, showed evident symptoms of madness, upon which they were taken out no longer, but each individual was chained up separate from the rest, so that there could be no possibility of their biting each other. After the space of about six weeks, ten couples died, or were destroyed, in a state of the most raging madness. Amongst the dog hounds, which formed another pack, and were kept at the same kennels, but of course in separate lodging-rooms and courts, there was not one single instance of the malady showing itself, although they had been fed from the same trough, breathed the same air, and were exactly in the same state of condition, having, previous to the malady breaking out, worked alternate days. The disease had evidently been introduced amongst them by inoculation, as it was a well-known fact, that about three weeks or a month prior to its first appearance, when hunting at that 108 ON RABIES CANINA, OR DOG MADNESS. well-known cover Woolford Wood, the hounds were joined by a cur-dog, which was observed by the whipper-in to quarrel with and bite several of them. By taking the precaution of separating the hounds, upon the madness first breaking out, the remainder, about fifteen couples of valuable bitches, were saved, Thomas Day, the huntsman, was bitten in the hand, while administering a ball to one after she had become attacked, but a timely application of the knife, and lunar caustic, effectually prevented any fatal conse- quences.* As to the cure ; I don't believe that any faith whatever can be placed in any remedy excepting the knife and caustic, by a timely application of which, the progress of the malady may be safely arrested previous to the second circulation taking place through the absorbents, and which is necessary to enable the virus to produce " confirmed rabies." The second instance which 1 have to record, is the destruction of part of Mr. Hall's hounds which hunted Somersetshire. The malady was traced to a terrier which belonged to the pack, and which had been bitten by a wild-looking setter dog, during one of the hunting days. The hounds were divided into a large and a small pack, and it was the large pack which were out on this unfortunate day ; amongst this lot every single hound either died raving mad, or was destroyed upon suspicion of having been bitten ; but * William Smith, huntsman to the Earl of Yarborough, has the credit of pos- sessing a recipe which is a certain cure for the malady, and which has been handed down from father to son for several crenerations. Whether it is infallible or not I cannot pretend to say, but it is a well known fact that it has been frequently used successfully, and amongst other patients who have availed themselves of it, we may mention Jem Siiirley, the present huntsman to Sir J, Cope, who was bitten by a mad dog some years since in Ireland. ON RABIES CANINA, OR DOG MADNESS. 109 in the small pack not one single instance of rabies occurred. During the same year, but rather later in the season, Mr. H. Combe's hounds, which had for- merly been so celebrated when the property of that excellent sportsman, Mr. Osbaldeston, were taken into Lincolnshire to " hunt the April month" in Sir R. Sutton's woodlands. They travelled by water from London, and while waiting at one of the wharfs before embarking, a cur dog was observed by W. Gardner, the boiler, who was one of the persons attendant upon the hounds, to wrangle with them and bite several of them : no particular notice was taken at the time, it being looked upon as an accident frequently occurring to hounds when travelling ; however, within about three weeks of the time, several couples of them died mad ; the rest were only saved by separating them. I will relate one more instance of hounds going mad in the kennel from being bitten, before I close these few observations ; I received the account from that well-known old sportsman, Major Blagrave, who was master of a pack of harriers for many years. In the year 1806, the major resided at Ashdown Park in Berkshire, and was at that time in possession of a very clever pack of harriers. Upon the puppies coming up from their quarters in the spring, he was informed that one of them had been bitten by a dog supposed to be mad, which had been roving about the neigh- bourhood, and he was advised to keep an eye upon him ; however, after the dog had been shut up some weeks, and no symptoms of madness being evinced, he was placed in the kennel with the other hounds, where all went on well for some days ; in the 110 ON RABIES CANINA, OR DOG MADNESS. course of a short time this suspected puppy was observed to have a most extraordinary propensity for fondhng upon and biting at, in a playful manner, not only the other hounds, but also his master and the feeder; he was immediately condemned, and being placed in confinement by himself, died in a few days raving mad ; the whole pack were shortly afterwards destroyed, some in a most confirmed state of rabies, and the restwere put away to prevent the possibility of their propagating the malady. I will conclude by declaring that I have never known a dog to be really hydropho- bous, where the disease had not been proved io have been introduced by inoculation from a bite alone ; nor do I believe that any other person can adduce one single instance to the contrary. Dogs may be known to suffer under extreme feverish excitement, approaching to madness, from constipation, the effects of distemper, or from other causes ; they may also be afflicted with bronchitis, or with a violent inflammation of the fauces, the symptoms of which I know by mine own experience greatly to resemble rabies ; but to one who is well acquainted with both diseases, they are as different as light from darkness. ]ll CHAPTER V.

The opening of this chapter shall be the commence- ment of a new season, and in it I will endeavour to lead my reader through the whole routine of the economy of the hunting kennel ; and although topics may be introduced, and incidents recorded, which may at first sight appear extraneous and heavy, still they will be found to be so interwoven with the main object, that they are absolutely necessary and con- venient to carry on the design, and that, like a firm building, the cavities must be filled up with such stones and mortar as are proper and in keeping with 112 COMMENCEMENT OF THE SEASON. the strength of the fabric, and not plastered up with such perishable materials as are inconsistent with the intention of the architect ; nor will any foolish attempt be made to introduce that kind of flowery language so prevalent in books of modern days, by which the reader may be misled into a different kind of pleasure, quite foreign to that which is designed in the present work. According to the acknowledged custom of fox- hunting, the season commences in November; some establishments begin to advertise their fixtures early in October, but the first Monday in November opens the campaign in Leicestershire, invariably at Kirby Gate ; on that day may be seen at this celebrated place of meeting most of the regular Melton men, and undoubtedly the finest display of horseflesh that can possibly be exhibited in any country in the world. In humble imitation of the great men in this metropolis of hunting, the numerous possessors of inferior studs, who flock to the various other minor hunting quarters, for the sake of enjoying the pleasures of the chase, date the commencement of their hunting season from this period. But it is quite another thing with the master of a pack of fox-hounds ; his new year begins on the very day after the last day of the bygone season, that is, if he hunts till the 30th of April, his new season opens on the 1st of May. And although the following six are called the dead months by the gene- rality of fox-hunters, they are perhaps nearly as full of labour as the remaining half year. From that day his whole attention must be taken up in renewing his forces for the ensuing campaign, in weeding his ranks. ROUNDING PUPPIES. 113 of tlic disabled and vicious, and supplying their places with a new entry of recruits, which may be either of liis own breedino: or from the drafts of other kennels. The young hounds are generally sent in from tlieir quarters by tlie end of March ; few farmers being prevailed on to keep them even to so late a period, on account of their lambs and young poultry. Some- times they shut them up close in a small pigsty or out- house, where their limbs become deformed, and by con- stantly sitting on their hams, watching to escape, they grow sickle-hocked and weak in their quarters ; when a puppy is discovered to be treated in so brutal and unfeeling a manner, the sooner he is rescued from his dungeon the better, as by good food, and being allowed the free use of his limbs, he may still recover after coming into the kennel.* By the first week in April, however, we may conclude that they are not only all come in, but that out of the whole body, those which are to form the entry for the ensuing year have been selected to be " put forward," from those which, on account of their size not matching with the rest, or from inferiority in symmetry, power, colour, and general appearance, arc drafted from the kennel. The first thing to be done after the requisite number have been selected, is to round them, as, by the time the soreness of their ears has recovered, and the natural timidity and wildness, arising from the novelty of their new mode of living, has gradually worn off, they will become sufficiently • The reason for confiuinp puppies is sometimes on account of their hunting in tlie fields and disturbing tlie neighbouring preserves ; this however may be easily prevented l)y soudiug over a whipper-in to round tlieir ears whilst at quarters, which will effectually put a stop to their rambling propensities for at least a month or five woeks. 114 DRAFTING HOUNDS- tractable to walk out in couples, and to proceed in some sort of order from their court-yard to the feeding- room. Some of the forward puppies will come in as early as Christmas ; these should be walked out in couples daily, and taught their names from the very first period of their entering the kennel ; but the education of a young hound may be said to commence from that time when, after being recovered from the effects of rounding, the new entry are first taken out in regular order to foot exercise in couples. Care should be taken not to draft too close, as the ravages caused by the distemper have very frequently so thinned the number " put forward," that there has not been a sufficiency left without having recourse to the second draft of another pack. It is a most excellent custom in many kennels, where the number of puppies will allow of it, to put forward twenty -two or twenty- three couples, and to make a second draft, as soon as the young hounds have recovered, and may be con- sidered safely landed from the effects of the distemper. Three hours on the flags may be very agreeably spent at this season of the year by a real sportsman, but it is a sad bore to one who is not an admirer of the symmetrical. Where hounds are to hunt four or five days a week, sixteen or seventeen couples should be entered ; where the number of hunting days is only twice a week or five times a fortnight, seven or eight couples will be quite as many as will be required. If there are not sufficient good walks in a country to make it worth while to attempt breeding, at any rate during the first two or three years after commencing the formation of a pack, the more advisable plan for securing the iiiK;i"^i mm FIRST AND SECOND DRAFTS. 115 defalcations of the past year, will be to procure the young drafts of some other well known and accredited establishment, to engage invariably both first and second drafts, from one year to another, and not to hazard the chance of picking up young hounds from various different kennels ; by this means it will be far easier to obtain a pack of the same stamp and character, a very material point to be looked to by any one wishing to excel. How frequent a thing it is to meet with a pack, in high estimation too, which, when viewed as a body, appear to have been purposely selected from every kennel in the universe ; although, if each indi- vidual is drawn out separately, no particular fault can be discovered in him ; the main points in their symmetry, when examined by themselves, may be all strikingly good ; but when a few couples are mixed together, their style, countenances, and general cha- racter, vary so exceedingly, that they are immediately obvious to any one who is a close observer of such matters. Appearances are certainly much more con- sidered than they used to be in former days, and in many instances, I fear, before other qualifications of greater consequence ; still, in the jdays of Somerville, equality of size and similarity in character were looked upon as essentially necessary in the selection of a pack, which is beautifully expressed in the following lines : — " As some brave captain, curious and exact, By his fix'd standard forms in equal ranks His gay battalion ; as one man they move Step after step, their size the same, their arms Far gleaming dart the same united blaze ; Reviewing generals his merit own ; How regular ! how just ! and all his cares i2 116 EXTENSIVE BREEDERS OF HOUNDS. Are well repaid, if mighty George approve. So model thou thy pack, if honour touch Thy generous soul, and the world's just applause. But, above all, take heed, nor mix thy hounds Of different kinds ; discordant sounds shall grate Thy ears offended, and a lagging line Of babbling curs disgrace thy broken pack." The most extensive breeders of hounds of the present day are the Dukes of Rutland and Beaufort, the Earls of Yarborough and Fitzwilliam,* Lord Segrave, Lord Lonsdale, Mr. Foljambe, Sir Tatton Sykes, Mr. Hodg- son and the master of the Cheshire hounds ; numerous other noblemen and gentlemen depend upon the produce of their own kennel for the rising generation ; but the number of puppies put out to quarters is by no means so great, and consequently the annual draft from them are not of themselves sufficient to form an entry for an establishment which hunts four or five days a week. The number of young hounds purchased annually to go to various parts of the Continent, and even to the East Indies, is very great, although the numbers exported some few years since far exceeded what are now sent from England : the average price • The Earl of Fitzwilliam's hounds are descended directly from that pack purchased from Mr. Foley and Mr. Crewe, (afterwards Lord Crewe) who bought them of Mr. Child the banker, who hunted Oxfordshire many years; Mr. Child had them from Lord Thanet, who also hunted Oxfordshire when it was a perfectly open country, his lordship was supposed to have been possessed of the best pack of hounds of the day, he was the breeder of the famous Gallant and Gameboy, two stud hounds, of whom more will be said hereafter, which by a union with two bitches, Vicious and Victory, laid the foundation of ]Mr. Meynell's celebrated pack at Quoindon. When Lord Fitzwilliam purchased the hounds of Mr. Foley and Mr. Crewe, he took then away from Oxfordshire, and Will. Dean, who had been first whipper-in, accompanied them as huntsman ; he had been brought up under the famous Will. Crane, who when speaking of Will. Dean, used to sav, " he would not boast of his own qualifications, but he could say that he had formed the best huntsman in England." Will. Dean was allowed by the old sportsmen of that day to have been the most agreeable and sensil.le man who had ever been known in that line, — Extract from Utter of an old spartsinan, aged 90, YOUNG HOUNDS. 117 per couple in India is twenty guineas, as I have been informed upon good authority by a gentleman who resided in that country for some time, and was in the habit of joining a pack occasionally, in the neighbour- hood of Calcutta, which hunted jackalls in the same manner as we hunt the fox in England ; he described the sport as a bad imitation of bad cub-hunting ; the number sometimes killed is very great, and although the jackall appears to come nearer to the species of the dog than the fox does, yet the hounds never refuse to break him up, but " tear him and eat him" in as good style as if they had killed him from Owston Wood or Charnewood Forest. Young hounds after they have commenced their education, should on no account whatever be trusted at exercise, or even when moved out into the paddock, without a sufficient and eifective number of persons to attend them and prevent the possibility of their breaking away or getting into the slightest mischief; the ice once broken, and then there is an end of all confidence in them, and if the old hounds are taken out along with the puppies to exercise, as is the case in some cocktail establishments, the matter is made a thousand times worse. I once knew an instance of a lot of wild young hounds being moved out into a field adjoining the kennel where they were kept, and where a long tailed black pony was grazing, attended by the feeder alo72e ; from wantonness one of the hounds bayed at the pony, which induced another to do the same, and the pony to declare his approbation or disappro- bation by repeated snortings and caprioles ; the main body concluded it was a signal for a rush, when away 118 YOUNG HOUNDS. went the little horse over the fence into the adjoining lane, and away went the hounds full cry to the dismay of the feeder and the rest of the establishment who were so suddenly summoned by the music of the pack ; however, to conclude my story, they were not stopped until they ran the pony five miles, but without any further damage to any of the party excepting sowing the first seeds of irrevocable wildness whenever an opportunity might offer itself. There is an old story told of the Beaufort hounds when that pack was being- first formed many years ago ; a new draft of hounds which had arrived on the previous day were let out into the paddock to be inspected, when they com- menced running the crows which frequently fly skimming along close to the ground in windy weather ; and as the old kennel man who had the care of them declared, that he believed they would have never been stopped, if they had not by the blessing of G — d changed for a jackass. It was not a very uncommon practice in former days to try young hounds, before they were entered, with a drag or train scent. From an old collection of hunting memoranda in my possession, which belonged to an uncle of mine who was a worthy divine and a real lover of fox-hunting, and who passed many a happy winter in hunting with the hounds of the late Lord Yarborougb, I have taken the following extract : " Lord Thanet's Gallant and Gameboy were got by Brusher, out of a daughter of Lord Chedworth's Gamester. Crane brought with him the dam of that bitch when he came to Lord Thanet. Brusher was bred by Lord Ossory, and supposed to be got by Mr, crane's TRIAL OF YOUNG HOUNDS. 119 Taylor's Rivers, of the same litter with the dam of Gameboy and Gallant, there were nine in the whole, all remarkably good winded and speedy, though coarse looking hounds, they were called the ' Royal Family,' from their excellence. However this litter were most of them to have been drafted on account of their plainness, but Crane begged they might be tried up a trailed scent before they went, and in running this trail scent the whole family distinguished themselves in a very remarkable manner." Many matches are on record of hounds running a trailed scent, one especially over Newmarket Heath. And in or about the year 1808 or 1809, the late Mr. Digby Legard, who at that time hunted the country now occupied by Sir Tatton Sykes, made a match to run two couples of hounds four miles, against two couples of Mr. Osbaldeston's, on a trailed scent, which he won in the neighbourhood of Malton. The trail used was a horse rug which had been placed under a tame fox for two or three days. The following extract was copied from a Cork paper. "I will back for two hundred sovereigns, hounds from mine own kennel, running a drag scent, to beat any horse carrying lOst., four miles, over a fair sporting country ; and mind you, by beating I do not mean a head or a length, but the hounds shall be at the finish two hundred and forty yards before the horses; or in plain words the hounds shall distance the horses. My money is lodged in the Provincial bank, Cork, where it shall lie fourteen days to be covered, and where the challenger's name and address shall be learned on that being done." We will now suppose the new entry to be recovered 120 SHOWING YOUNG HOUNDS. from the effects of the distemper, to have learnt to answer to their names in the kennel, and to have begun to go daily to horse exercise along the neigh- bouring roads, the wild ones in couples, the rest with a pr. buckled double on their necks, being occasionally taken for an hour at a time amongst sheep and cat- tle, in which way they must be employed until within a month of cub-hunting, when they may be taken every morning by themselves into a deer-park, or amongst hares ; when this part of their education commences they should be cross-coupled, and if they show any inclination to riot they should be severely chastised ; in the course of three or four days they will be so accustomed to them, that they may be trusted amongst them without being coupled, taking care to enlarge only a few at a time ; they may then be taken out with the old hounds, and thus exercised for about eight or nine hours each morning till the cub-hunting commences. With regard to showing the young hounds hares previous to entering them, huntsmen differ widely in opinion; it is the custom with some to show them riot almost daily for many weeks previous to cub-hunting, — flogging them most severely for attempting to chase. Charles King, who lived so many years with Lord Althorp (now Earl Spencer), acted in quite a different way ; his opinion was that it was not only useless, but that it tended considerably to dispirit and spoil young hounds, to awe them too much from riot before they were well entered and blooded ; and with the exception of showing them deer in Althorp Park a few times (although the kennel was close to it), and two or three times finding a few sitting hares, to teach them to know the meaning of a rate, THE PYTCHLEY HOUNDS. 121 they were not broken from riot, until after they had killed two or three brace of foxes from the Brio-stock kennel ; they were then taken every morning when they did not hunt for a couple of hours into Rockingham Forest, and severely rated from deer, hares, and rabbits, the place being particularly adapted to the purpose. The Pytchley hounds were no less remarkable for their steadiness than they were for their stoutness and hunting qualities ; and I have no doubt that this system considerably increased their handiness afterwards in the field. Jack Wood, whose rudiments of hunting were learned under the renowned Philip Payne (many years huntsman to his Grace the late Duke of Beaufort), and whose first-rate know- ledge of the science, both in the kennel and in the field, was partly acquired when living as first whipper- in under Charles King, was of the same way of thinking. Having hunted with him many seasons, and having commenced invariably at early dawn, I have had many good opportunities of not only observ- ing and admiring the quiet and workmanlike manner in which he drilled and educated his new entry, but also of conversing with him upon the various subjects relative to entering young hounds, and other matters connected with the chase ; he considered it a most useless and cruel practice to chastise and rate animals from that mischief which in a few days they would not only have so many opportunities of indulging in, but be, as it were, encouraged to commit. While the body of old hounds are running a fox with ever so good a cry, it is impossible for the young ones to dis- tinguish whether they are running the hares which are 122 THE JOYS OF CUB-HUNTING. continually jumping up before them in cover and crossing them, or not ; but when they have been blooded by two or three brace of foxes, and perceive that they are not assisted by the old ones when pur- suing hares and other riot, they will soon learn to leave them, and join that part of the pack that are settled to a fox; to gain this end, Wood considered that downright hard work and perseverance, were the only means, and no man ever acted up to his own maxim in a more determined manner ; I have seen him frequently in some of the largest and thickest covers in Warwick- shire, with hounds torn and cut all to pieces, abso- lutely walk up to a beaten fox, which had been crawl- ing before him with a miserable scent for hours, and kill him at last ; I have seen him repeatedly do this when another huntsman would have been dead beat by the heat of the morning, or the distance from his kennel, and have contented himself with riding home and murdering a fresh fox in a gorse cover on the next hunting day, by way of keeping his pack in blood. Long tiring mornings in the early part of the season, when the weather is hot, are by no means to be recommended, but one stout fox hunted fairly up to with a moderate scent, in a large thick woodland, will do more good than killing six brace in gorse covers or small hollow spinies.* Owing to the large ungovernable fields of horsemen which, in these, days * Nothing tends more to render young hounds, or even old ones, skirters and shifty in their work, as it is termed, than continually cub-hunting them in gorse or whin covers, by their being enabled when distressed to come to the outside, and meet the fox in the rides and rackways. This, however, is unavoidable in some open countries, where this description of covers abounds without any woodlands. MY FIRST BRUSH. 123 are in the habit of attending hounds, even from the very commencement of the regular hunting season, I have always looked upon the cub-hunting months to be by far the best time for a man fond of the woi^k of hounds, to indulge his venatic taste, w^ithout the danger of being either himself ridden over, or having the greater part of his hounds trampled down and destroyed. Long before I kept hounds myself, I was in the constant practice of beginning with the first morning's cub-hunting, and going out regularly through the summer and autumn, with the pack which hunted my neighbourhood in Warwickshire, and many is the run I have seen in those woodlands, which would not have disgraced December, and many the fox killed while the lazy world were snoring away their time in bed ; even when a schoolboy, I never lost the oppor- tunity when it offered, of running on foot for miles to get a sight of the hounds, either as they were passing from one cover to draw another, or where they might be even seen for a few moments on their return home from hunting ; and as five of my boyish years were spent with a private tutor in the cream of the Pytchley country, it is not much to be wondered at that the innate love of hunting should have been cherished till it became "the ruling passion," and that the remembrance of those early and dearly loved scenes round Hemplow Hills and Win wick Warren should be amongst the fondest of my by-gone days. " My first brush,''' that trophy so sought for and valued by the old school, now become by far too dirty and odoriferous for the white gloves of the modern fox-hunter, was gained in that Paradise of Chase, Northamptonshire. It was late in the month of 124 THE WARWICKSHIRE HOUNDS. March, during the season of 1816 and 1817, when the quiet village of Guilsborough was aroused from its accustomed tranquillity by the cry of the Pytchley hounds, at that time the property of Lord Althorp ; they had run their fox, after a most brilliant burst of fifty minutes, from Northcote's gorse up to the gardens which surround the village, and amongst a most hete- rogenious mass of coblers, tailors, and snobs of every grade, and curs of low degree, they killed him. Not having far to run from the house of my tutor, I was lucky enough to be " in my place" at " the finish," and by the joint assistance of a large stick and a few kicks from the hobnails of a yokel, the fox was saved, and I bore him away in triumph into the middle of the next field. But where are the horsemen ? Where is Chas. King ? Where is Jack Wood ? Where is Mr, Bou- verie ? Where is Vere Isham ? Where is Davy ? cum multis aliis, in the middle of Naseby Field, lost in a fog, and floundering their way through those far- famed/eceptacles for beaten horses, the Naseby Bogs.* Why the fox has been killed these ten minutes ! But here comes one in a cap ; it's Jack Wood first ; and in ten more minutes come " the field." It was a good run, and a good finish — all were delighted, and none more so than he who on that day gained his " first brush." It was under the keen eye and by the quick dis- cerning judgment of Jack Wood, that the far-famed Warwickshire pack, then the property of Mr. Shirley, was first formed, in a great measure from hounds esteemed, by good judges, of the very best blood in England ; besides the progeny of several brood bitches * The celebrated Dick Knight is reported to have left no fewer than five dead horses, killed in runs over Nageby field. i3 m Q N 52 STEADINESS OF THE WARWICKSHIRE. 125 from Northamptonshire, amongst them the renowned Laundress and Ornament, bred by the late Lord Sondes, they had several stallions and brood bitches from the kennel of the late Duke of Beaufort, of the Rubens and Nectar blood ; and with such materials in the hands of so skilful and experienced a person, it was no wonder that in a few years a pack was produced, which might compete in steadiness, speed, and the qualities of enduring, with any other in the world. Of their extreme steadiness in chase, I think the following anecdote will bear ample testimony. It was in the December of the year 1829, when the pack were under the manag:ement of that well-known and excellent sportsman, Mr. Robert Fellowes, of Shotes- ham, in Norfolk (but who then resided at Talton, near Shipston-on-Stour), that the circumstance to which I allude occurred. An afternoon fox was found at Witnash-gorse, and it being a good scent, and the hounds getting away close at his brush, a tremendous burst over a severe country was the consequence ; pointing at first for Oakley-wood, and then bending to the left, the direction taken was over part of the Chesterton enclosures and Harbury-field ; at this point a hare jumped up in view of the whole pack, who were at that time driving along with a breast high scent, and continued to run for at least half a mile in the exact direction which had been taken by the fox. The anxiety and despair depicted in their huntsman's face at this moment, may be better imagined than described ; the pace was so great that to get at them or attempt to stop them would have been impossible. Turning to me, who happened to be at tliat moment 126 WM. SIIAW'S OPINION. in a pretty good place, he exclaimed, by G-— , sir, they are running hare ; and yet, said he, pausing for a few moments, they cannot be, for old Bashful* is leading ; he was right in his second supposition, for the hare finding herself distressed, turned short across the field, and this gallant pack kept straight forward upon the line of their fox, without one single hound deigning to look for one moment in which direction she had taken herself off out of their way. Forty-three minutes completed this excellent run up to Itchington-heath, and in four more minutes the fate of the fox was sealed, and his death proclaimed by a thrilling who-whoop. This incident, to the common run of hard riders, might appear to be without interest, and unworthy to be remarked; but to me, to whom the behaviour of the hounds, and the manner in which they perform their work, is ever of the first consideration in a day's sport, it was particularly striking. I once had a long conversation with Wm. Shaw, who was many years huntsman to his Grace the Duke of Rutland, upon the system of entering the puppies to hare in the spring, when they first come up from their quarters,^ he was a great advocate for this plan, and he told me he always practised it, and taking them out with two or three couples of old harriers, declared that he was convinced that when they were thus entered, they turned out invariably better hunters afterwards, and that they were by no means more • By the Duke of Beaufort's Boxer, out of Virulent, who was by the Pytchley Ottoman, out of their Vengeance. This most excellent hound could run up to the very head when in her tenth season. t The best excuse for trying young hounds with hare at that season, is to dis- cover which are noisy, that they may be drafted witliout further trouble and expense. MR. meynell's system. 127 unsteady amongst hares, than others which had not been entered in that manner. Nevertheless, with all his experience in the matter, and eloquence into the bargain, he did not succeed in making me a convert to his system, although I believe him to have been a most excellent judge in hunting, and a very first-rate per- former both in the field and in the kennel. Old Will Carter, many years huntsman to Sir Mark Sykes, was another of these hare-hunting fox-hunters. He was an out and outer in his way, and had a very good pack of hounds, as old sportsmen, who live in Yorkshire and who hunted with him for years, have informed me ; but they were always, as I understood, fond of " currant jelly" in wild weather. The great Mr. Meynell was I believe the first who brought this system into fashion, but like a good many more of the absurdities of our forefathers, it has now become exploded. We will now return to the old hounds, which, when we had left them, had just concluded the by-gone season; their services are now at an end for the present; their energies will be no longer required in the field for at least three months ; and, by comparative rest and indulgence, their mutilated feet and battered joints are to be fresh braced up, and their nerves restrung with a new vigour for the labours of the next hunting season ; but this rest must not be increased to slothful indolence, nor this indulgence allowed to grow into a contraction of laziness and fat. The stamina is to be preserved by good and nourishing food, but the elasticity of the muscles, and the clearness of the respiratory organs, must be kept in tune by a propor- tionable quantity of exercise, and occasional doses of 128 ON PHYSIC AND DRESSING. mild physic and alteratives. Upon the commencement of the dead months, it is the custom of most huntsmen to bleed indiscriminately throughout the pack, without regard to age, condition, or constitution ; as far as I can judge from my own experience, I should say that it is a most salutary practice, and I never knew any kind of harm arising from it, but, on the contrary, hounds thus treated have always thriven better after it, and have been in themselves, during the whole of the hot weather, in much better spirits and estate of body than when they have not undergone this kind of discipline. The whole pack ought to be bled, with the exception of such as may be very shy feeders and of an exceedingly delicate constitution ; the extremely sudden change from high feeding and hard work, to a state of comparative idleness, rendered still more heating by the naturally encreased warmth of the atmosphere at that period of the year, must, without doubt, create a disposition to form too great a quantity of blood, which may be plainly seen by any one who is acquainted with such matters, in the fiery appearance of the eye balls of hounds, in the month of May, which have not undergone the operation of being blooded. A dose of salts should then be given, and after a few days' rest, a course of sulphur should be immediately commenced, followed by a second dose of Epsom salts; previous to this second dose of salts there is no occasion for any exercise, further than on foot for a short time in the paddocks, two or three times a day ; but as soon as the effects of the second dose have sub- sided, horse exercise must commence for about two hours daily; in about ten days' time the sulphur ON PHYSIC AND DRESSING. 129 should again be given, in the same proportions as before, followed by a dose of Epsom salts, given in the same manner as the first; this will bring the time, when the hunting season has been continued through the month of April, to about the end of the first week in June, between which period and the end of July the whole pack ought to be dressed ; the best time to dress them is while their coats are stirring, as by attention to that they will be much kinder and brighter, than by dressing them when the hair is set ; as all packs of hounds do not shed their coats exactly at the same time, but vary according to the work they have done, and the physicing and dressing they have undergone during the preceding year ; of course the time for anointino- must be chosen with reo;ard to that period. The young ones should also be physiced and dressed in the same manner as the old ones; some huntsmen dress them twice, but, unless there is a great tendency to redness in their elbows and flanks, the operation once properly performed is quite suf- ficient. If you keep their insides clean and cool, their outsides will naturally become the same; if any of them appear foul in their bodies, or become subject to worms, besides the above course of physic, the balls composed of calomel, antimony, and jalap may be occasionally administered, the receipt for which I have given in the chapter on physic. Dressing the hounds will affect many of them equally as if they had had a strong dose of physic; some of them will be more or less swelled in their limbs and testicles, particularly if the turpentine or spirit of tar is rather stronijer than usual. Durino; the time K 130 ON EXERCISE. they are confined to the kennel from the effects of the above discipline, which will be about four days, the whole of the court-yards and the floors of the lodging- rooms should be carefully covered with straw, parti- cularly in the doorways, to prevent them from slipping and breaking their thighs, which I have known to occur; the grease from their coats rendering the ground as slippery as ice; sometimes I have seen a portion of mercury added to the dressing, but, unless the mange has shown itself, it had better be omitted, as from the heat and fever occasioned by the oint- ment, the hounds will be continually lying on the open floors, and when under the influence of that powerful mineral, animals are more likely to take cold, than at any other time. By the first of August, the whole of their physic, requisite to prepare them for their approaching labours, should have been administered, consisting of two more doses of salts and sulphur, as before directed ; and after the old ones have been walked two or three times into a deer park and amongst hares, particularly the two and three year olds having had a few extra bouts by them- selves, the new entry may be taken out with them, and regularly exercised until cub-hunting commences, going every day, if possible, into that country where the covers are situated in which they are about to hunt. The exercise of hounds during the summer should be slow and protracted, rather than quick, particularly in the early part of that season. The keeping them out with slow walking exercise does their constitutions, as well as their legs infinitely more good than "long trots," or "brushing gallops." The Late seasons and harvest in the north, 131 period for the commencement of cub-hunting varies exceedingly ; in some countries, where the limits of the hunt are not extensive, and the foxes rather scarce, the covers cannot be broken until the middle of September; but in many others it is the usual custom to begin the first week in August, or at any rate as soon as the corn is sufficiently cut to allow of it. By a book published some years since entitled, "The Ope- rations of the Belvoir Hounds," it appears that in the year 1808, His Grace the Duke of Rutland com- menced as early as the fourth of July; even supposing the corn to be cut,* few packs could begin so early as that, as the necessary destruction of young foxes would be far greater than most countries could afford. But when, by the number of the litters in the Belvoir country which were returned, averaged about sixty- five or seventy, and during some seasons the number of foxes which were killed amounted to nearly seventy brace, two or three brace having been murdered in a morning in the early part of the season, we cannot wonder at there being some impatience to commence operations. In the Earl of Yarborough's country, which is far too extensive for any one pack of hounds to hunt regularly and impartially, the foxes are so numerous, that the whippers-in and earth stoppers are frequently employed, during the frost and snow, in digging and destroying them in places which are ill * In the north tlie harvest is always, of course, much later than in the midland and more southern districts, even when the season may be genial ; but the close of the year 18.'59, and the commencement of 1840, presented scenes whicli few of the oldest of our cotemporariea can, I should suppose, remember. In December, and also in the January ensuing, it constantly occurred in the IloUlerness country, while hunting, to pass throuo^h fields of beans and oats, in which the farmers were employed in leading or caj tying them. k2 132 MR. herring's menagerie, calculated for sport. How different is the system in other hunts, which it is needless to mention, where there is scarcely a litter of cubs, which is not put down in the summer, and which have not found their way either from Mr. Herring's menagerie in the New Road, or from Mr. Baker's celebrated shop in Leadenhall Market, to the cost and detriment of other hunting countries. Fox-dealers may lie and humbug as much as they like about only selling foreign and Welsh foxes ; but it is a well-known fact, that all are fish which come to their nets. The sooner you can begin after the corn is cut, the better, as it gives hounds so great an advantage when the foxes are not come to their full strength ; a good beginning is half the battle, and that is one reason why it is generally recommended to wait for a shower of rain to cool the covers and improve the scent. Work of the right sort, added to blood, is what is required ; one without the other is of little avail, and where good luck forsakes you, cubs scarce, and the great desideratum cannot be obtained by fair means, others must be resorted to, let them be what they will, to gain the point ; however, anything in the world is better than turning out a bagman, the scent of which is as different from the natural smell of a wild fox, as a red herring is from a fresh mackerel. The ill effects which the custom of indulging hounds with this spurious kind of blood produces, will soon discover itself if frequently put in practice ; hares, cur-dogs, &c., will be all alike to them, and their hurry and wildness in drawing will be no less manifest, than their unsteadi- ness in chase. Even fox -hounds, which have before ANECDOTE OF A FOX. 133 been steady, after too much rest frequently become wild and ungovernable. Some years ago, when Lord Middleton hunted Warwickshire, and whose celebrated pack stood as high in the estimation of fox-hunters as any in the world, a most unfortunate occurrence took place, and which is a convincing proof that during any part of the year when the pack are not at work, they cannot have too much strong exercise. After a long and severe frost, the hounds met at Walton Wood, and having forced a fox into the open, were running him with a good fair scent, when suddenly they changed his line for that of a dark red-coloured dog (which had no doubt been coursing him), and fairly ran into him and ate him, before any one could get to them to stop them. I may have once or twice in my life hunted a "put-down fox," as it is sometimes called, but it is a custom I never approved of; nor have I ever known any good judges of hunting who recom- mended it. I once killed a fox in rather an extra- ordinary manner : he was not a bagman, although he appeared to have been just shook from the soot sack of a chimney sweeper. The facts were as follows : I was sitting late one winter evening, and just upon the eve of retiring for the night, when a neiglibourmg farmer brought me a fox in a large basket, which he had just taken in an out-house. As every body was gone to bed excepting myself, and not being able to shut him up in a better place of security, I left him in the room where I was then sitting, for the nigiit, and gave orders that he should not be disturbed till I came down in the morning ; however, the next day a maid- servant going in to light the fire as usual, about seven 134 ANECDOTE OF A FOX. o'clock, opened the shutters, when the fox perceiving the light, jumped from the chimney where he had gone to ground, and darting through the window like a rocket, made his escape. I was immediately informed of the departure of the prisoner, and perceiving that a heavy storm of snow had fallen, it being ankle deep and still snowing, and the chance of hunting on that day at the regular hour being completely gone, I ordered the horses to be saddled ; and in less than ten minutes they were out, the men mounted, and every hound in the kennel (forty-one couples) on the line of the fugitive : it proved to be a most burning scent, and after a sharp burst of about two miles, we killed him, as he was running in a direct line for a well known head of earths; if the scent of reynard was good, the smell of the soot was much more pungent, as it might be winded the whole way. The animal, when killed, certainly looked like a hunted devil, and the hounds, after they had eaten him, appeared as if they had had their mustachios blackened for a masquerade. The hole through which he had escaped was triangular, exactly the shape of his head, and so small that it seemed impossible for him to have forced his way through it. He had been during the night up and down the chimney some dozen times, as might be seen by the black marks all over the room. He had tried the chimney-piece, pictures, all the chairs, and had entered, as far as he could, into a hat and two caps which were on a table, to try to find an exit. This crIIs to my remembrance the anecdote of — " Mr. Stubbs, a crack rider no doubt in his time, Who hunting on Sunday considered no crime." CUB-HUNTING. 135 He kept a pack of harriers, with which he used occa- sionally to hunt bag foxes, and his plan for getting them into condition was, to shut them up in a snuiU place, with a hole to admit the light about six feet above their heads, at which they would continually employ themselves in jumping, to endeavour to escape, and by that means get into good wind and condition. As summer wears away, and the cub-hunting is drawing nearer to a close, the time of meeting may be at a later hour. But as that period of the year ought undoubtedly to be given up to the master of the pack for the purpose of educating his young hounds, and getting them into such order and condition that they may acquit themselves with credit, when the regular season arrives, I would never meet at such a time, as that the lateness of the hour would be an inducement to cause a number of persons to come out. Men who make a practice of going regularly cub-hunting are generally good sportsmen, and instead of doing harm, frequently do a great deal of good, by assisting to keep foxes back in large woodlands ; but a numerous field in October is never to be desired, and the only way to prevent it is never to meet later than about seven o'clock. When beset by the entreaties of gentlemen who may be subscribers or good preservers of foxes, a huntsman may be overpersuaded to draw covers which it may at that time not be convenient to disturb, and to endeavour to show sport in the open, which at so early a day is never to be desired. One of the best runs I ever knew in my whole life was on the 5th of September, with the Warwickshire hounds, when Mr. Shirley was master of them. It was an 136 EXTRAORDINARY RUN. accident, as the hounds broke away, and the men were not mounted to go with them, and consequently could not stop them. They found at five o'clock in the morning at the Bull and Butcher wood, which is situated on the edge of the largest woodlands in the county, six miles from Coventry, on the Oxford road, and killed their fox close to Crick in Northamptonshire, fifteen miles from point to point ; but as the line taken was circuitous, it Avas at least twenty miles. The pace was tremendous ; and no one who started with the hounds was up at the finish, except William Boxal, who was then the first whipper. There were nearly fifty couples of hounds out, seventeen and-a-half couples of which were of that year's entry, and had only been out four times before that day. It proved an old barren bitch fox. The country traversed for the last eight miles, till within two of the death, was what is known as the Dunchurch country. In those days there were no covers in that neighbourhood as at the present time ; Cooke's gorse, Hill Morton gorse, and Bunker's Hill, were then not even planted, or a fox would hardly have held on so straight without touching some of them. She proved herself a real out and outer, and although of the feminine gender, she was no doubt '' A traveller, stranger, stout, gallant and shy, With her earths ten miles off, and those earths in her eye, She was off like a shot at the sound of the horn, As the stars disappear at the pale peep of morn." 137 CHAPTER VI.

HUNTING LATE PREJUDICIAL TO SPORT. — CONCLUSION Among the numerous collateral branches appertaining to the science of hunting, we may, without any apology, 138 COVERS. introduce the subject of covers, the various descriptions of them, and the best mode of making the most of a country, which may by nature have been but moderately o-ifted with these indispensable requisites for the pre- servation of the "crafty animal," and consequently the ensurance of sport. Various are the kinds of covers and the names by which each variety is distinguished according to their locality. For instance, what is termed in the midland counties " a gorse," or " gorse cover," is called in the north a " whin," and in some places a " furze brake ;" " gullies," " dingles," " dum- bles," and " bottoms," are also synonymous terms. Woods are also defined by " holts," " roughs," *' cop- pices," " spineys," " brakes," " stubs," and " scrubs," according to the counties in which they may be situated, and no less varied are the tastes of sportsmen which may lead them to pronounce in favour of either the " woodland wild," or what in these " haste making" days may be denominated " a nice little handy gorse to get away from ;" giving one the very idea of some- thing pre-eminently dreadful in the mere presence of a wood or any other temporary shelter, which may either entice reynard from his line, or retard but for one instant the steam-like velocity of a modern " burst." Large woods and cliffs, clothed with briars and brush- wood, were no doubt the only places where our fore- fathers first bid the echoing horn to speak at early dawn ; but as " hunting the fox," which in those days might be compared to the refined amusement of badger- baiting, gave way to the " noble science," and as this princely diversion, which owes much of its patronage to the graceful and manly accompaniment of "horse- COVERS. 139 manship, gradually progressed to its climacteric, means were resorted to, to enable the sport to be enjoyed entirely in the open, and leave the " dirty woodlands," as they are called, for cub-hunting, or for bye days, when some neighbouring pack may be reached at a more genial fixture. Desirable as a fine open country is for fox-hunting, how often do we see the thing well done, and good sport shown, in many of the pro- vincials, where the nature of the covers and enclosures is just the reverse, and where the natives, from a truly English and laudable desire to spend their incomes at home, and promote the general good of their neighbours, and wishing to enjoy, in the best manner they can, " the goods the gods have provided them," set a far better example to the rising generation, than those debilitated scions of debauchery, who are daily wasting, not only their health, but their exchequers in the support of foreign allurements and frivolities. Although a large woodland cannot very conveniently be dis-afibrested, and converted into a flying country at a year's notice, nor the shades of Whittlebury be metamorphosed by a magic touch, into the far-famed grass grounds of Misterton, yet by proper management and atttention to a very few points, really good sport may be obtained in almost any country, let it be ever so dark and severe, provided the occupiers have spirit and liberality to pursue the following plans. Let bridle-gates, or riding gates as they are sometimes termed, be placed at divers points for the convenience of not only the sportsmen in general, but more especially to enable the men, attendant on the hounds, to get at them quick, and assist them as occasion may require, without the 140 COVERS. risk of breaking their limbs at some great boundary fence, or other impassable barrier ; let small wooden bridges be thrown over the worst of the larger dykes or ditches ; let the rides be kept well trimmed, the rackways, trigs, or small bye-rides kept open, and the earth-stopping department properly attended to, and it will be seen that sport of the first order may be had provided that the rest of " the means and apperti- nences," be in equally good keeping. To the neglect of the above management, and to the well-known fact, that the generality of masters of hounds would rather at any time draw the open under an uncertainty of finding, than run the risk of a long day in the woods, and to the destruction of foxes by unfair means con- sequent to such neglect, may, in nine cases out of ten, be attributed the odium attached to woodland-hunting. I can only add upon this point, that if more days were devoted to rummaging the woodlands than the modern systemallows, there would be fewer blank days, and more clipping runs in the open, and the necessity of going to Messrs. Herring and Baker, would be alto- gether done away with. The large woods and cliflfs before mentioned, were undoubtedly natural covers, and to these may be added brakes, composed chiefly of blackthorn and the briar, or blackberry ; these are the favourite resort of foxes, and indeed all other wild animals, from the almost impenetrable nature of the plants which compose them ; and although not nearly so numerous as they were thirty years ago, when agriculture was not attended to as it now is, they are occasionally to be met with, particularly in open fields ; and where the land is what may be termed "fox ARTIFICIAL COVERS. 14 I Sjround," a find usually accompanies a draw. One qreat recommendation to encourage brakes, is the impossibility of shooters and poachers walking in them especially during the night, consequently they are quieter. We may also add to the list, natural gorse covers, which are met with generally upon the sides of hills, or on what are termed hangings ; these are considered by many persons as much more preferred by foxes to kennel in than the artificial gorses (of which I shall speak hereafter), and one reason given by old sportsmen is, that when the gorse is young, after having been cut, the sheep and cattle eat away the grass as it grows up, which allows the gorse to shoot stronger ; moreover that the bare places occa- sioned by the cattle grazing, make excellent kennels for a fox, where he can bask in the sunshine, and dry himself after wet weather. Let it also be remembered that gorse which grows upon stiflf clay soil, although longer in coming to perfection, remains in full vigour during many more seasons than where the soil is sandy, and, consequently, more congenial to a quick growth. As to artificial fox-covers, they may be classed under the heads of gorse, broom, osiers, and stick or fagot covers. The oldest artificial gorse cover in the Pytchley country, as I have been informed upon good authority by several sportsmen who have hunted in North- amptonshire all their lives, was a cover in Yelvertoft- field ; there were two, but the one known as Lord Spencer's cover was the oldest, and to which I now allude. Since those days, the numerous covers which have been made (and if half of which were destroyed 142 ARTIFICIAL COVERS. would be all the better for sport), would fill a roll which might reach from Melton to Brixworth ; but a quick find and a sharp burst are all now required, and whether that is sport or not, I leave for others better qualified than myself to pronounce judgment upon ; seven minutes and a half racing, where the amalgamation of horses and hounds will scarcely allow of determining which are leading, and to which the powers of scent may by nature belong. Producing a cover by means of sowing or planting gorse has always been a favourite substitute for the absence of a natura asylum for foxes, and the old and well-known toast of " The Evergreen," alluding to the never-fading exuber- ance of that plant, is a striking proof of the estimation in which it has always been held by sportsmen. The beautiful effect which a large patch of gorse in full bloom, like burnished gold, gives to rural scenery, can never be surpassed amidst the numerous attractions of spring, and which, even to a certain extent, is to be met with during the whole year, and which was the origin of the old saying, " When gorse is out of bloom, kissing is out of fashion." For the sake then of the best and fairest of our species, let it be hoped, that fox-hunting and " the evergreen" may flourish for ever ! The best spot to fix upon for making an artificial gorse cover is, if possible, upon rather a lightish soil, which is rendered the more diflficult from the country in which it is most desirable being grass, and conse- quently, more frequently than not, a stiflf clay ; however, let the soil be what it will, it should be in the very best state of cultivation, previous to the seed being sown ; it should be fallowed and well cleaned, ARTIFICIAL COVERS. 143 and prepared in every respect as for a crop of turnips. The seed should then be sown by drill ; about seven or ten pounds of seed to the acre is sufficient ; and it should be kept well hoed and hand -weeded twice a year, until the gorse has out-topped the grass and weeds. From the nature of the soil being more genial to this kind of plant, some covers will hold a fox in three years, while others will scarcely hide a rabbit in double that time ; April is the best month for sowing the seed, which may be procured at any of the first-rate seedsmen in town, at two shillings per pound ; and it may not perhaps be generally known, that nearly all the gorse seed sold in this country, is imported from France ; some persons have recommended mixing broom with the gorse in equal quantities, but it has been found not to answer, as the broom comes to its growth some years before the gorse, and consequently requires cutting at an earlier period, which not being practicable, it perishes, leaving large patches either bare, or so thin and weak as to be of little use for the purpose intended. I have occasionally seen a fox- cover made by sowing the seed with a crop of oats, beans, or wheat, this practice may do very well where the soil is heathy and the plant indigenous, but in a stiff clay, hke some of the Leicestershire country, it must be nourished and cultivated exclusively, or the labour and expense bestowed, will, in all probability, end in a failure and disappointment. If the land is wet, it should be well soughed through all the furrows, or the plants will perish every where during the first winter, excepting upon the tops of the lands when it is dry and sound. Some covers have succeeded to 144 ARTIFICIAL COVEHS. admiration, by first sowing the seeds in a nursery ground, and then setting out the plants at two years old, during the autumn ; gorse is a plant which makes a prodigious shoot very late in the year, it consequently becomes settled and rooted in the soil before winter sets in, and the dry weather in the spring and summer does not materially injure it, as it would if planted out in March or April. When a furze cover is established, there is still almost as much labour and skill required to keep it constantly in perfection and sufficiently strong to hold a fox, as there was to produce it. To achieve this, care should be taken to cut about a fifth each year, after it begins to get hollow and weak, until the whole has undergone the operation, when, after a couple of years holiday, you may recommence at No. one ; in speaking of cutting, the system of burning is highly to be recommended for several reasons, in the first place the fagots will hardly pay for tying up, and in the next place, the operation renders the ground perfectly clear from all weeds, which are totally eradi- cated by the fire ; not so the gorse, the roots of which extend too far into the ground to be injured by the heat^ moreover the ashes form a most excellent manure to the new shoots, and the long black stumps which should not be cut off" until two years have expired, are a most excellent preventive against persons either riding or walking upon the young buds and destroying them. When the aid of flames is resorted to, the cover should be cut out in quarters, or the whole may be inad- vertently set on fire at once, and the day chosen for the conflagration should be one on which the wind blows from a favourable point ; it is also to be highly ARTIFICIAL COVERS. 145 recommended to take the precaution of cutting* round the part intended to be burnt, for the space of about four or five yards, to prevent the possibility of the flames extending- to the hedges or the adjacent parts. Burning a cover has a most extraordinary effect upon the hares and rabbits which inhabit it ; when the flames are at their greatest height, so paralized are these un- fortunate sufferers by fire that instead of attempting to escape they run headlong into the devouring element and are thus consumed. Artificial covers are also occasionally made of privit and blackthorn, and even of laurels, but a severe winter is a terrible destroyer of the latter, the ravages of which two genial seasons will scarcely replace. Osier or withy beds as they are called in some counties, also form excellent covers, and are invariably favourite places of resort for foxes, partly on account of their principle food the field- mouse abounding there ; but more especially because the high banks on which osier beds are formed, affording such dry lying even in the wettest weather. I recollect many years ago, when I was an " Oxford boy," seeing a good run from the osier bed at Ded- dington turnpike with the hounds of the late Duke of Beaufort; the brook on the lower side of the cover was more than a bumper, and the pack had actually to swim over to draw this small island, flooded as it was, and which is scarcely half an acre, before the old gentleman made his exit ; however, he beat us after a sharp burst, by going to ground in Sir Thomas Mostyn's (now Mr. Drake's) country near the village of Adderbury. Modern invention has in some places substituted L 146 FAGGOT OR DEAD COVERS. covers made of dead wood, instead of planting or sowing. These are denominated " Stick covers," "Faggot covers," or "Dead covers;" they maybe found to answer occasionally in the total absence of real brushwood, until a regular gorse cover can be raised ; but they are also highly objectionable on many accounts, in the first place no good wild fox will lie in them ; and secondly, they are dreadfully distressing to hounds when drawing, on account of the thorns breaking off after they have punctured them, and, in consequence, frequently causing an obstinate lameness; lastly, they are awfully expensive, and at the best only last about three years. Where there are many old whitethorn bushes (of twenty or thirty years' growth) upon the side of some w^arm and sequestered bank, the boughs may be advantageously nicked down, and the interstices filled up with strong stakes and dead wood ; by this means, a good cover of several acres may be at once formed, quite equal to any gorse cover, which will last for many years without renewing, and to which foxes will be found to take more kindly, than if the whole were composed of faggots and such rubbish. An artificial earth may also be made in one corner, but it will be found of but little avail for the purpose of rearing turned- down cubs in, unless there is a good supply of water close at hand ; this is indispensable, as without it, young foxes will inevitably wander away and be lost, and thus starved to death or destroyed. No game should be encouraged in a cover, which is rented or kept up solely as a fox-cover, for reasons too obvious to mention, and even rabbits, where they are allowed to DRAWING SMALL COVERS. 147 get to too great a head, defeat the object for which they were at first introduced, by attracting every idle boy and cur dog within six miles of the place to hunt them. The more frequently large woodlands are ransacked the better, but small gorse covers or spinies should on no account be disturbed oftener than about once in every three weeks or a month, that is if the find is to be booked as a certainty. Beckford recom- mends the encouragement of gorse covers as a great protection to foxes from poachers and fox-catchers ; such might have been the case in the days of that great authority, but it is well known by every one conver- sant in that nefarious practice, that there is no place in the world where foxes can be more easily taken than from gorse covers, unless well watched and pre- served by persons employed for the express purpose. In drawing small covers, it matters but little whether you go up wind or the reverse into them ; if the animal is at home, and a moderate share of pains taken, he is almost sure to be found, and two or three cracks with a whip in the adjoining field, and calling the hounds back with a loud voice, as a huntsman usually does when travelling along, will generally give sufficient warning for a fox to get upon his legs and prepare himself for a start, without the danger of being chopped. Where there is a large riding in a cover, the field had by all means be better collected to that point, as there will be less chance of the fox being headed back, than when each person is left to his own discretion ; the jealousy of getting a good start has been the chief cause of spoiling many a good run. I have occasionally seen a small cover L 2 148 MR. meynell's hounds. drawn by about four or five couples of hounds, the body of the pack being kept in reserve at some dis- tance, and must confess, that although the motive was excellent, viz., that the fox should have every advantage in making his point aw^ay without being overpowered by numbers and chopped, it took away in no little degree from the true spirit of the thing. Colonel Cook mentions, in his " Observations on Hunting," the circumstance of Mr. Meynell's hounds waiting in the same field, while a few couples selected from the pack were running hard in an adjoining gorse, nor did they attempt to break from the whip- per-in until cheered to the cry by Jack Raven. In some hunting countries, where earths are scarce, and it is found necessary to establish an artificial one, for the sake of rearing young cubs, which may have been put down, the best method of making one is by digging a deep trench on the sunny side of some rising ground, inside the cover which is intended to be stocked, if possible ; when you have dug the first trench, which ought to be about four feet deep, and about of the same width, being in a semi-cir- cular form, with two entrances, and from the centre turning oif into an oven or den, lay a drain of very small soughing tiles, placed upon flat ones, to prevent rabbits from working under them ; by this means, the artificial earth will be kept perfectly dry after severe soaking rains ; having formed the large trench, in which the earth is to be made, lay the bottom with large flat stones, wMch may be generally procured from the rubbish of stone quarries at a low price, taking care to build, in the afore-men- DIVIDING THE TWO PACKS FROM THE FIRST. 149 tioned oven or den, a kind of raised kennel, in which the foxes may lie secure and dry, having two or three small spouts in the side, into which a fox may stick himself, with his head only exposed, in case of a terrier being sent in by a poacher or fox catcher ; by taking this precaution, it will be next to an impossi- bility for a dog, which is small enough to creep into the earth, to bolt or draw a fox out. The earth may then be built of stones or bricks upon the floor, ter- minating at each entrance with a hole of such a size as not to admit a dog larger than a fox. The mouth should be made with a heavy stone, or large piece of timber, to prevent its wearing away, A large mound of soil should be heaped over the earth, and, for a better protection, a quantity of dead cover placed upon that. Badgers are a sad nuisance when they take to an artificial earth, and should be imme- diately caught, or they will in a short time pull down and destroy the whole of the interior. Great care should be taken to select a dry place for an earth, or the foxes will become mangy, and, by dying in the earth, spoil it for ever. As long as there is a chance of finding and killing foxes in large woodlands, hounds should never on any account be taken to draw small spinies, or be suffered to work in the open; it is impossible to keep so large a body together as are generally taken out at that time of the year, and the mischief they may be led to commit, and the vices they may contract, will be much easier acquired than cured by such a practice. Some countries are so extensive, and the foxes so well preserved, that the two \^acks necessary for four days 150 MR. HALLS HOUNDS. a week may be divided from the very outset, which is a most excellent plan. Five years since, being in Somersetshire, in August, I had the pleasure of stay- ing with Mr. Hall, who had then lately purchased Mr. Codrington's hounds at a long price ; he hunted his dogs and bitches separate, through the whole of cub-hunting, his men-having plenty of horses for five days a week, and what was of equal importance, there was no lack of blood, forty-five litters of cubs being known to be safe, besides other outsiders which were not enumerated. This was as it should be, I am also aware that many other masters of hounds pursue the same plan from the very commencement of the season. When the young hounds begin to show an inclination to work, and to enjoy a scent, and to be tolerably steady, about a fortnight before the regular season, the two packs should be formed ; they may then be allowed to work over the open, and such as are noisy or cannot go the pace, or are guilty of any flagrant vices, should be immediately put back ; at this time it is the cystom in some kennels to rest for a week, dress, and give a mild dose of physic. I should consider a week spent in hard work to have a much more salutary effect, as nothing is so prejudicial as too much rest, particularly during the autumn ; and by hunting three days instead of four, it is a very easy thing to give each pack a mild dose, which is all that is requisite. It is an excellent prac- tice to stir up every cover before November, except where the foxes are very shy of lying, and where " the find" is always uncertain; it teaches them to break sooner when they are regularly hunted; and DRAWING ACCORDING TO SIZE AND PACE. 151 by this means better runs will be obtained previous to Christmas, than by nursing them, as is too fre- quently the case in some favourite covers, until the end of November, when they show but little or no sport. If the number of hunting days in each week is four, one of them ought, without fail, to be in the woodlands ; and as fifty couples of hounds, which would be necessary to hunt four days a week, would be all the better if they hunted five, when the country is sufficiently extensive, and the " sinews of war" will allow of it, a fifth day should be invariably devoted to rattling those covers, which, from being situated in the worst part of the country, are not favourite fixtures ; it would only be the expense of three more horses for the men ; by this means each pack would get a woodland day every week, which would keep them steady, and their condition would be much better than if they hunted only four. The foxes, too, would be better preserved by the farmers who might reside on that side ; and by driving them so continually out of the large covers, they would fly to the smaller ones, and afford much better runs when found afterwards, from their geographical knowledge. The possession of fifty couples of really good and steady hounds is certainly a desideratum, which is not so easily accomplished as some persons may suppose ; a thorough knowledge of the individual capabilities of the animal, and a quick discernment in the differ- ence of their constitutions and speed, will be found absolutely necessary for the arrangement of the pack, so that they may run together; and that their labours may be performed with the correctness and regularity 152 DRAWING ACCORDING TO SIZE AND PACE of a well-constructed piece of machinery. Now, the young sportsman, to whom 1 am more particularly addressing myself, and whose knowledge in drawing his pack has not been matured by much observation and experience, would be saved from a great deal of anxiety and disappointment, if he would consider before he commences this most important part of the duty of a huntsman, why he classes such and such hounds. The grand point to be achieved is, to get them to run and work together, their being all of one height is quite a secondary consideration, although I grant, that perfection cannot be said to be obtained until that is the case. The fashion of the present day is very frequently to hunt the dogs and bitches separate ; but unless the forces are very numerous, I fear that the ranks will not be filled up with much credit and satisfaction ; a man must be either a very successful breeder, or a very extensive purchaser, who fancies he is to achieve so difficult a task during his first two or three seasons. Another method is, to divide them according to their size, so as to form a large and a small pack, which is far more advisable than hunting the sexes separate ; by so doing, the necessity of drafting the smaller dogs may be dis- pensed with, and consequently, the services of some of the handsomest and best shaped of the puppies secured. But the best of all systems is, in com- mencing a pack of hounds, where it is a four-day country, to form one good pack first, composed of the elite of the kennel ; none should be older than four- season hunters, and no two-year-olds which are very wild, nor any of the last entr^^, should be admitted. ON WHIPPERS-IN. 153 but such as take a share in the work, and such as are tolerably steady. The other may be considered the awkward squad, consisting of old line hunters, which can always be depended upon, particularly as finders, and such as require perpetual drilling in the wood- lands to keep them in order. Be, if possible, strong in hounds at the beginning of the season, it is very easy to put away the incorrigible, and such as cannot run up, and by strict attention and perseverance, a few years will produce a second pack equal to the first both in capabilities and appearance. Nothing will be found to be of greater importance in the well conducting of the operations, than steadi- ness and persevering exertions on the part of the whippers-in ; servants of that description are quite as difficult to meet with, as a first-rate huntsman ; a master who " puts up" a booby of a groom, merely because he can ride young horses, and scream like a fish-woman, must never expect to see his hounds any thing else than wild and vicious in their drawing, and heedless and unhandy in their attention to the hunts- man when casting. It was the opinion of Mr. Beck- ford, that first-rate abilities in a whipper-in were of more consequence to the promoting of good sport, than they were in a huntsman ; and although I must beg to differ with that universally acknowledged oracle in hunting matters, in considering that it is impossible for a huntsman to know too much, or to be too aufait at his business; yet as my opinion with regard to the knowledge and acquirements of a whipper-in, so exactly agrees with the ideas of that great man, I will give them in his own words, omiting such parts as 154 ON whipper's-in. I may consider immaterial: " I must, therefore, remind you," says he, " that I speak of my own country only, a country full of riot;* where the covers are large, and where there is a chase full of deer and full of game. In such a country as this, you that know so well how necessary it is for a pack of fox-hounds to be steady and to be kept together, ought not to wonder that I should prefer an excellent whipper-in to an excellent huntsman. No one knows better than yourself, how essential a good adjutant is to a regiment : believe me, a good whipper-in is not less necessary to a pack of fox-hounds. But I must beg you to observe, I mean only, that I could do better with mediocrity in the one than in the other." And again he says, " I cannot but think genius may be at least as useful in one as in the other ; for instance, while the huntsman is riding to his head most hounds, the whipper-in, if he have genius, may show it in various ways; he may clap forward to any great earth, that may by chance be open; he may sink the wind to halloo, or mob a fox when the scent fails ; he may keep him ofFhis soil ; he may stop the tail hounds and get them forward ; and has it frequently in his power to assist the hounds, without doing them any hurt, provided he may have the sense to distinguish where he may be chiefly wanted. Besides, the most essential part of fox-hunting, the making and keeping the pack steady, depends entirely on him. In short, I consider the first whipper-in as a second huntsman, and to be perfect, he should be not less capable of hunting the hounds than the huntsman himself. Most huntsmen, I believe, are jealous of the whipper-in ; they fre- * In these days, owing to the increase of game preserves, all countries are full of riot. ON WHIPPERS-IN. 155 quently look on him as a successor, and therefore do not very readily admit him into the kennel; yet, in my opinion, it is necessary he should go thither, for he ought to be well acquainted with the hounds, who should know and follow him as well as the huntsman. To recapitulate what I have already said, if your whipper-in be bold and active; be a good and careful horseman : have a good ear and a clear voice ; if he be a very Mungo, here, there, and everywhere, having at the same time judgment to distinguish where he can be of most use; if, joined to these, he be above the foolish conceit of killing a fox, without the huntsman ; but, on the contrary, be disposed to assist him all he can, he then is a perfect whipper-in." Added to these qualifications, he should be fond of work, and habitually sober. There can be but one opinion upon the vice of drunkenness in any man ; and the second fault in either a huntsman or whipper-in ought to be the last to be overlooked. Many of my readers, may, I have no doubt, been disgusted in the course of their lives by such an outrage; but to see a whipper-in drunk on champagne would be rather a novel sight. I recollect once meeting at the house of a jolly good fox-hunter "of the olden time," who shall here be nameless, where he had a most splendid breakfast upon the occasion ; and our worthy host, not being content with giving his guests plenty of that exhilirating beverage, absolutely sent a bottle out to the men who were waiting with the hounds upon the lawn ; the result may be imagined. Upon remonstrating afterwards with the elder of the two upon this most disgraceful occurrence, the answer was, that he was sorry for what had happened, but that 156 THE OLD AND NEW SCHOOL. he thought there could be no harm in the contents of the bottle, as he had seen a lady drinking some of the same kind, through the window, just before. This man had but one fault in the world ; in other respects, he was a most excellent and trustworthy servant, and one of the quickest and best sportsmen I ever saw handle a whip ; he had lived twenty years in two of the most noted hunting establishments in England, but gin became his ruin. Changed as the system is, during the last fifty years, for the better, still the old school had a deal of the right sort of knowledge gained by extreme patience and the observation of circumstances ; the pace of the present day is too fast to allow time for a huntsman to reflect; all bethinks about is "how they are going," I shall be all behind with these jealous fellows, and his eyes are on the horses instead of where they ought to be, on his hounds. Hunting was no doubt at its zenith about twenty-five years ago, when men rode well enough to get to the hounds without doing mischief; the huntsmen of that day had been mostly bred up as whippers-in under real good sports- men, they could hunt as well as ride, and knew what they were about, whether in the woodlands or the open ; but the modern huntsman has been put up since steeple-chasing came in, because old Tom Cast- well, or Jack Cheerly had got too slow to ride against modern fields, but Tom generally killed his fox or run him to ground every day he went out, and his hounds could hunt through deer, hares, or village gardens,* * Nothing is more prejudicial to scent, than the smoke from a wood or turf fire, which Langs about small cottages. This may be easily perceived by hounds generally getting into difficulties when approaching those places. A frenchman's idea of a huntsman. 157 and Jack Cheerly's system of working his hounds hrough woodlands, without their dividing or changingt their fox, was the admiration of all sportsmen far and near. But the modern performer seldom kills his fox after a run, to be sure he mops up a good many weak stupid brutes, that have no knowledge of hounds, and, in fact, have not been introduced to the pack since their arrival in a perforated box from the "Foret de Guines," or '' the large woods in the vici- nity of Amiens," whence poor things they were cruelly forced from the tender embraces of their anxious mothers. The old huntsman, although a shade slow, " knew hunting and hounds well," he was not only a huntsman in the modern acceptation of the word, but a sort of " maitre de chasse." When he did not hunt, he shot for his master, and when he did not shoot, he either fished, or was vermin catching, not by trap, but by hunting them with terriers, and digging them. In reading a very old French book on hunting, some few months since, I was much struck with the following passages, which I shall quote, and which shows that the Frenchman's ideas of what a good sportsman should be, were not very far from the mark. In describing a good sportsman, he says : — " Un bon cognoisseur ; c'est un veneur qui a toutes les cognoissances des bestes dont il traitte. Un bon piqueur, c'est quand un veneur, et un bon cognoisseur, homme de jugement, et experimente, a faire chasser les chiens courans."* And again, in describing the qualifications of a good huntsman, or as he terms it, " un bon piqueur." * Venerie Roy ale, I6tjj. 158 ON HANDLING A PACK OF HOUNDS. *' ir est done apropos qu'il soit homme de jugement, vigoureux et hardy, a fin qu'il n'apprehende pas de franchir, et sauter un fosse, ou les branches et les epines le pourront egratiner, et s'il le rencontre bon sonneur, il s'en sera mieux entendre, eten don- nera plus d'emotion aux chiens,* There are, undoubtedly, some few first-rate per- formers as "gentlemen huntsmen," but taking all things into consideration, a master of hounds had much better give up that part of the business to " a professional,'''' according to the modern state of afifairs, they are not in their places, and as Mr. Bunn, in his book entitled "The Stage," justly observes, that when "actors are managers and actors too, they certainly labour under a great disadvantage." Nascitur venator, non fit, is equally applicable to huntsmen as poets, and to tell a man how to hunt a pack of hounds, and kill foxes, on paper, is absurd, his actions must be guided by circumstances entirely, there are no general rules for drawing, casting, or following the line of a fox ; but in working a pack of hounds over a country, if more confidence were placed in the noses of the ani- mals, than in the huntsman's skill in forcing and lifting, not only more foxes would be killed but far better runs would be ensured. When a huntsman does exhibit his own scientific manceuvres, let him combine patience with quickness, and watchfulness with cool determi- nation ; when " the field" press upon his hounds he should by no means lose his temper, nor allow himself through jealousy or recklessness to be driven from his ground, nor from a want of nerve and decision be led • Venerie Roy ale, 1665.

Let 'em work it themselves as long as they can, and when they can't let 'em fancy they are doing all the work while you are hold- ing 'em on the line without taking off their noses, or casting them. When you do make a cast, let it be a good large one, and not across the middle of fields but under the line of hedges, or in an open country along the green balks, or unploughed ridges. Hang to your hounds, and they will in difficulties hang to you ; never deceive them or disappoint them of their well- earned blood. Keeping a pack in blood is the grand secret, and next to this, luck in weather is of the greatest consequence. Hounds which have been unfor- tunate for weeks, owing to adverse weather, have, by one genial and good-scenting day, been restored to their accustomed efficiency — I mean the sort of hunt- ing morning on which Will Todd* used to look so delighted in Oxfordshire, when after his first saluta- tion he was wont to observe in his broad Yorkshire lingo : — " This is a naice morning, sir ; he mun either fly or die to day." No doubt it is the duty of both master and huntsman to show all the sport they can in the open, but the pack, upon the goodness of which all depends, should never be sacrificed to suit the caprice of a set of foolish school-boys, and steeple- chase dandies. Nothing is so vexatious as being beat • VVill Todd, tlie varmint, was second whipper-in to His Grace the Duke of Beaufort, when Philip Payne was huntsman, and Will Long was first whipper-in. He is now huntsman to the Old Berkeley. 160 THE FOX AND MANY FRIENDS. day after day, by want of scent or luck, and then when the fruit is almost within your grasp to be denied the attainment of it. There is an old story of Shaw, when he hunted the Duke of Rutland's hounds, being beat by his foxes for fourteen days in succession ; he however at last got one to ground late in the day, and being ddtrmined to have him out, dug two hours by candle light, when he drew him out himself, and to make sure of him threw him amongst the hounds, who being dazzled by the light missed him, and away he went as safe as a large woodland at eight o'clock at night could make him. Amongst the numerous instances of my being beat and cheated of my fox, the following is worth relating, and which proves how careful a huntsman should be to stand close to the mouth of the drain or earth when blood is the object in view. After a long, slow, run of one hour and a half from Hay Wood, my hounds run a fox to ground, in the month of October; we dug him, and although I had him in my hand and con- dermwd, to gratify a good preserver of foxes in the neighbourhood, I ordered the whipper-in to put him down in the next meadow, being more easily per- suaded by an improvement in the scent during the last twenty minutes of the first run. After two minutes' law the hounds were laid on the line, and away they went for eighteen minutes like pigeons to ground again in a large main drain leading from a fish-pond at Spring- field, the seat of J. Boultbee, Esq., as good a judge of hunting, and as great a friend to foxes as ever rode a nag. I requested the pond sluice to be turned, and booked the fox as " dead as a stone." I was almost ,->^?a ^»n 3 ?3 ^ ^ '\3 ^:^ 1^ -^^/ii ' v; ^-^ > ^ 4 /> ^ '^ « 1. T' *] #-"?' CURIOUS MISFORTUNE WITFI A BADGER. IGl feeling for my knife to brush him, and stood about fifty- yards from the mouth of the drain to allow the pack to have a clear run at him as he came out ; with breath- less anxiety we watched the clouded water as it streamed out over the greensward, — here he comes ! here he comes ! here he comes ! and sure enough he did come, attended by his three sons. Tally ho ! by Jove, we'er beat again ; our old friend slipped through the next hedge, and the hounds hung to a fresh one, we could not stop them until too late, and found ourselves at five o'clock at night in a great woodland without blood ; I can only add I have always since taken better care in similar cases. Another time we were beat in a very singular manner, we had run a cub to ground early in the morning in Ryton Wood, and as the sun was getting up and little proba- bility of getting blood on that day, excepting by digging the fox which we had marked, it was resolved to have him out ; the spout was not a very deep one, and the hounds had marked the end of it and had scratched down upon the fox, while I was keeping the other hole safe by standing in it until one of the whips returned with a spade. The baying of the hounds at the further end so alarmed an old badger, who was the lawful possessor of the said earth, that he immediately determined to make his exist at my end, and charging me with all the force he could muster, and getting between my legs, fairly put me on my back ; the hounds of course seized him before he had run fifty yards, and the cub taking this opportunity of de- camping, effected his escape, to the great mortification of the whole party. M 162 ACCIDENTS TO HOUNDS IN CHASE. Trying as the circumstance of being frequently beat by your fox is, I think accidents to the hounds are by far more annoying, nevertheless they are not of very frequent occurrence. In the neighbourhood of coal- pits and mines hounds sometimes disappear rather suddenly, and when hunting near rocks and cliffs, fall over and are thus destroyed. During the time I was hunting on the Yorkshire coast, I never met with anything like a bad accident, although the hounds on one occasion killed their fox on the top of a bank above the sea, which gave way while they were worrying him, and let them down about thirty feet upon the sands ; it was not sufficient to injure them, but it knocked out the wind, and the fox ran away for one hundred yards into the breakers, before they laid hold of him a second time and finished him. Mr. Hodgson who was in the Holderness country fourteen years previous to his taking Leicestershire (to which country I have just alluded) met with a far more serious misfortune in 1838, being his last season in Yorkshire, and which is one of the most melancholy disasters that ever befel a pack of hounds in chase. They had run their fox from the neighbourhood of Burton Agnes to the Speeton Cliffs, which are about four miles to the north of that well-known point Flam- borough Head ; being near their fox they flung them- selves too close to the edge of the precipice, and in their ardour four or five couples went down the distance of two hundred feet, some were dashed to pieces, while others escaped by lodging in their descent upon some parts of the rock which jutted out.

The fox, however, escaped by some means or other into a cleft in the rock. What Mr. Hodgson's feehngs at this dreadful moment must have been, can be better imagined than described. When he viewed from the summit of this awful precipice his favourites wreathing in the agonies of a lingering death, while their piteous bowlings were only responded to by the greedy and fiend-like scream of the sea-bird, or the distant croaking of the raven as he watched his mangled prey from an adjoining rock. ON HORSING THE MEN. With regard to horsing the men belonging to a pack of fox-hounds, I shall write but a few words, as the system of managing hunters used for that purpose is, or rather ought to be, exactly similar to the one pursued in the care of the first studs in the country. No animals in the creation work harder than the horses of a huntsman or whipper-in, who rides hard and does his duty, particularly in a woodland country ; nor is the proof of condition put to the test more frequently than in the long-tiring chases, which horses attendant on a pack of hounds are continually experiencing. To say nothing of the respectability of a well-mounted and properly appointed establishment, the purchasing good-shaped and fresh young horses will be found far less expensive in the end, than picking up cheap under-bred brutes which may be half worn out before they enter the service. Beckford justly observes, that it is highly essential to mount the men well, " and that there is no economy in giving them bad horses they M 2 164 ON' HORSING THE MEIf. take no care of them, but wear them out as soon as they can, that they may have others. It is won- derful how almost all horses which are continually being badgered about, learn to take care of themselves when they have had enough ; good seasoned hunters of this description are invaluable in a kennel-stud, to put the under-whips on, as they will go on at a certain pace for ever ; they never are killed by distress, and are invariably good fencers, which is a consideration of the first importance. Some men will declare, that anything which will go fast enough will do to carry a whipper-in ; but persons who make these sort of ridi- culous assertions, only expose their gross ignorance, and evidently set forth to the world the slight expe- rience they must have had in all hunting matters. Nine foxes out of ten which are lost at the end of good runs, and which undoubtedly ought to have been killed, owe their escape to no other circumstance in the world than the men's horses being so beaten that no assist- ance can be given to the hounds at a time when they most require it. For this reason a huntsman should invariably have a second horse out, and if another spare horse was always in readiness for either of the whip- pers-in who might stand in need of it, it would be all the better, and in the end considerably save the wear and tear in the hunting-stable. I recollect, many years ago, an excellent run in Northamptonshire, from Stamford- hall (Mr. Otway Cave's), when Sir Charles Knightley hunted that country; Jack Wood, of whom I have spoken before, was at that time huntsman (previous to his going into Warwickshire), and his horse being dead beat near the end of the day, close to the Hermitage, Mr. Whitworth, the sporting draper of Northampton, MR. tilbury's system of LETTINti HORSES. l(JO whom many of my readers will recollect as a hard rider, offered him his nag, which was still comparatively fresh, which he immediately mounted, and getting for- ward with his hounds, killed his fox at Brampton-wood, after a most severe run of upwards of an hour and a half. This act of kindness and attention towards a huntsman was not thrown away, as it was the cause of Mr. Whitworth selling his horse on tlie following day, to a gentleman in Leicestershire, for two hundred and fifty guineas. Some horses last much longer than others, partly owing to the strength of their constitu- tions, but more especially to the care with which they have been ridden over the country, and the manner in which they are kept during the summer. In some hunts the horses for the servants are jobbed by the season ; and where a pack of hounds are kept up by subscription, without any certainty of their being continued from one year to another, it may bo found to answer; but it is a disreputable way of doing- business, to say the best of it. The horses, from lame- ness or some other cause, are continually being changed, and by their not being accustomed to be ridden amongst hounds, frequently kick and injure them. With regard to the danger of kicking, I can speak most feelingly, having suffered with a fractured limb from the very cause I have been mentioning. Amongst the many speculators in horse-flesh, who have at- tempted to provide hunters for the above purpose, none have ever succeeded in giving satisfaction to their employers, excepting Mr. Tilbury, and his extreme liberality, and constant desire to accommodate those gentlemen who have been induced to hire hunters from his yard, has no doubt been the chief rceson of his 166 THE FARMERS NEAR KENILWOKTH. having almost an entire monopoly in that description of business. To give general satisfaction to all classes, who may be interested in the operations of a hunting establish- ment, will, I fear, be found a task too difficult for any one, however indefatigable and courteous he may be, to accomplish. Each side of the country ought to be hunted fairly, the bad with the good; and this system, when impartially pursued, will be found more likely to produce a continuance of sport, than perpetually relying on the smaller covers, merely because they are situated in the open. When the fixtures are made out for advertisement, care should be taken not to hunt any favourite covers on that side of the country Avhen it is the market-day of the neighbourhood; it causes a great disappointment to decidedly one of the most respectable body of men in the British community, — namely, the yeomen and farmers; and upon whose good will the preservation of the foxes, and a kindly feeling towards the numerous gentlemen who come out, more materially depends than is very often consi- dered. I remember, some years ago, complaining to a farmer who was a good sportsman, and who resided near the celebrated Kenilworth chase, of the scarcity of foxes in his neighbourhood, a large woodland having been drawn blank on the previous day. His answer was, that his neighbours having been deprived of the pleasure of hunting, by the hounds being sent to that side on the Friday, when they all wished to go to Coventry Market, had determined to have a grand battue on every Thursday, it being more likely to have sport on that day, as the woods would have had six days' rest. If we were to give too ready THE WRONG SORT AND THE RIGHT. 1()7 a credence to every murmur and complaint which the ill-conditioned are always, and in many instances unjustly, prepared to make about damage done to crops and fences, we should be laying ourselves open to a very heavy tax upon fox-hunting ; but where absolute mischief has been caused by inadvert- ently driving sheep into pits or rivers, whereby they have been drowned ; or where a crop has been undoubt- edly injured by being frequently cut up by the horse- men near to a favourite cover, a handsome remuneration ought undoubtedly to be made to the farmer thus suf- fering. If this kind of attention and courtesy, from the field, towards the country people, were rather more practised than it is, the disappointment of a blank day would be scarcely ever experienced ; and those self- created men of fashion ivho swarm in the various Spas in many of the hunting countries, to the annoyance of the gentlemen and farmers, would meet with a far more welcome reception in November than is frequently the case. THE WRONG SOliT AND THE RIGHT. 168 ANECDOTE OF MR. CORBET. Nor would I forget the wives and daughters of the farmers, who are occasionally, though not frequently I hope, fellow-sufferers in the cause with their hus- bands, from the rapacity of reynard, invariably through the idleness and neglect of their servants in not pro- perly securing the feathered inhabitants of the farm- yard before the night closes upon them. The money arising from the produce of the poultry-yard is almost invariably appropriated as pocket-money to the female branches of the family ; and in more instances than one, I regret to state, that the disappointment of not having new bonnets and dresses, in which to attend the neighbouring races, has been caused by the total destruction of a flock of turkeys in one night. When Mr. Corbet hunted the Merriden country, he was always particularly attentive in remunerating those who might be losers; and on one occasion when ridmg out to visit his puppies which were at their walks in that neighbourhood, was informed by the daughters of a farmer, who was a well-wisher to fox- hunting, that they had lost all their turkeys and fowls by the foxes, which were strictly preserved in those days in the Packington-woods. This kind-hearted man truly sympathised with their disappointment, and observed that it would be highly proper for them to go into mourning upon the occasion, and that he would send them some ribbons to wear for the sake of their poor turkeys. But how great was their astonishment upon receiving, on the next day, some very handsome bonnets and dresses, but not of quite so sombre a colour as they had expected. Mr. Corbet's benevolence in word as well as deed FROST AND PHYSICING HOUNDS. 169 was highly and justly conducive to his universal popularity as a master of hounds, independent of his well appointed establishment. Even in anger his mildness and polished method of rebuke never ex- ceeded the limits of good breeding ; and amongst the numerous anecdotes related of the Squire of Sundorn, the following is highly characteristic. Having run a fox to ground in the neighbourhood of Hampton cop- pice, at a place called Olton End, the residence of two old maiden ladies of the name of Spooner, who were inveterate card players, Mr. Corbet requested to be permitted to dig him out. This was peremptorily refused by the old maids, and as such an objection was exceedingly ill-natured, the master of the pack of course felt much disappointed in consequence. " Give my compliments to the ladies," said Mr. Corbet, "and tell them I hope they will never get spadille as long as they live." After the regular hunting season has commenced, a general physicing will be needless where the pack have been properly prepared, until after Christmas, when the first opportunity of administering a mild dose should never be lost sight of; but as the endurance of frost is always very uncertain, it should be of such a nature that the field may be taken immediately, upon the sudden return of open weather ; but when hunting is fairly stopped by the extreme hardness of the ground, and the chance of again going to work is undoubtedly gone for many days, the attention of the huntsman must be awakened towards allaying the excess of stimuli, which a long continuance of hard work and high feeding, have produced ; those hounds 170 HUNTING IN THE SNOW. which may be down in their eyes, or such as may have had fits, should have a little blood taken from them, and all of them may have a little dressing rubbed on their arms, briskets, flanks, elbows, and hocks ; a moderate dose of salts may then be administered, with which some mix syrup of buckthorn, it is a very strong purgative, but I am convinced it is a thing which the stomach is a long time getting rid of, which is evident by the manner in which hounds lap water, when out, for many days after, therefore no favourite of mine. Strong exercise, after the effects of the physic have worked off, must be given, for at least six or seven hours daily. Perhaps I may be singular in my opinion, and not so happy as to persuade others to imbibe the same taste ; but I should prefer hunting the whole of the long frosts, providing there was snow sufficient to counteract the concussion from the hard ground. One anecdote I have recorded of kiUing a fox in the snow, which was ancle deep, and I can assure my readers, that I have repeatedly gone out in large woodlands, when it lay much thicker on the ground, and enjoyed excellent sport; of course I am not trying to prove that it is as practicable for a man to ride over a country in a deep snow as in open weather; but I am thoroughly convinced from experience, that hounds had much better be employed in rummaging the extensive dis- trict of woods which some hunting countries are blessed with, during a long frost, providing the snow is suf- ficiently deep, than crawling about the lanes and roads in the immediate vicinity of their kennel for two short hours and spending the rest of the day on their benches, while the men who have the care of them are getting A RUN WITH MR. WARDES HOUNDS. 171 lid of their extra leisure at the nearest public house.* There is very frequently a most excellent scent in a snow ; I recollect some years since, when Mr. Warde hunted Berkshire, seeing a capital run from that well known cover, Stype, near Hungerford ; we met late, and after drawing some time, found on the hanging- side towards the Kennet, which we crossed twice, and after a very severe run, were unfortunately defeated, by changing our fox in Marlborough forest. The snow, which was much drifted, was above tliree feet deep in many places, and I remember WiHiam Neverd, who was at that time Mr. Warde's huntsman, making one or two excellent hits himself by the fox's pads. The winter of 1813-14, which must be still in the remem- brance of most sportsmen as affording less open wea- ther during the hunting months than may have been known for half a century, was perhaps one of the hardest recorded in the memory of man ; the whole country had the appearance of Salisbury plain, only for the trees ; gates, hedges, and even rivers, were in many places invisible, and the snow being frozen ex- tremely hard, it was an easy matter to ride over fences and other hidden dangers, without the labour of jumping. During a great part of that dreadful season, the Pytchley hounds, then the property of Lord Al- thorp, hunted the Northamptonshire woodlands regu- larly, having excellent sport, and killing many foxes. Two years ago, the following anecdote was copied from the Forfar paper. On Tuesday, the third instant, * During a hard frost the courts and door ways of the kennel should invariably be covered with straw to prevent the hounds from slipping about and laming themselves, the litter should be shook over, well cleaned, and partially renewed as often as required. 172 J. WALKEU AND THE FIFE. the Fife Hounds met at Logie, and found a brace of foxes in the Muir, but could not press them, the morning being stormy and the ground stained by sheep. Afterwards they drew blank all the neighbouring covers, and late in the afternoon, found a fox in the planta- tions of Bridge of Murthel. Sauve qui pent being the order of the day, reynard retreated into the woods of Inchwan, but was speedily dislodged ; — thence fled northwards across a heavy country, followed by the hounds at their best pace, keeping west of Deuchar, through Glenquiech, to the top of the hill of Ogil, nearly six miles from where he was originally found. Further pursuit being impracticable, from the depth of the snow, the field reluctantly came to a resolution of '■'■ nolle prosequi.''' It being a decided case of '^ no go"" among the prads, " Merry John,"* fertile in expedients, instantly dismounted; that laudable example was fol- lowed by the whipper-in, Jack Jones. Leaving their horses on the hill, both padded the footsteps of the hounds through the snow, nearly four miles up Glen- ogil, when fortunately they fell in with the pack, after they had eaten their fox — a pad or two being the sole emnants of the banquet ; these were carefully trea- sured up, and will doubtless find a niche beside " Rival,' f in Sandie Ross's hunt parlour. We believe Mr. Walker's pedestrian performance quite unparalleled in the annals of hunting.

ON SCEMT. 173 the increase or diminution of it. Scent is well known to exist in all weathers, and with the air at all tempe- ratures ; I have seen a most brilliant scent, in the hardest black frost at Christmas, and also under the scorching influence of the sun in the months of April and May ; I have witnessed a total absence of it in the gloomy and soft misling damp of November ; and in the boisterous and drying winds of March, I have known hounds to run for an hour, as if they had been tied to a fox. The spring, with the exception of the period when the blustering March winds set in, generally produces better runs than any other part of the year ; but I have also known the day to produce a good scent, even during that tempestuous season. I was onceridingto cover in a perfect hurricane in March, and calling at the house of a friend to breakfast, observed to him that it would be quite useless to attempt to hunt, as the air was so piercing, and the wind so tremendously strong, that I could with diffi- culty keep my cap on my head, and consequently there could be no scent ; he smiled, and said I was much mistaken, as there was a most burning scent, which he had proved, having had a most capital run just before ; the fact was, he had started his gardener, with a quarter of an hour's law, in a circle of about two miles round his park, and had then hunted him with two blood-hounds which he kept ; away they went in right good style, and the aff^righted gardener had only just time to escape into a tree near the house, as " Yelled on the view the opening pack." My friend's conjectures proved perfectly true ; not- withstanding the continuance of the storm, we threw 174 ON SCEXT. off; it was a large deep woodland where we found, but the fox, which was no doubt a traveller, faced the wind in a most determined manner, and we killed him, after fifty-five minutes hard running, close to Broms- grove Lickey. What impressed it more particularly on my mind was, that we had to ride a distance of twenty-five miles home afterwards. The general indi- cations of a good scent are, — when the hounds smell strong when they come out in a morning ; and when they puke on their road to cover ; if the pavement sweats or looks damp ; more frequently on the baro- meter rising, than when it is the reverse ; when the horses are faint on their road to the cover side ; in a black frost the scent is frequently good, but in a white one, when it is going off, there is seldom any ; frosty mornings, with stormy weather after mid-day, are sel- dom favourable to sport ; and if a large black cloud comes suddenly over, the scent generally fails during its influence. One poet tells us, that " a southerly wind and a cloudy sky" are necessary for a good day's sport ; while another describes one of the best days ever seen in Leicestershire as taking place " with the wind at north-east, forbidingly keen." Some persons fancy that the wetter a country is, the better the scent will be ; this is, to a certain extent erroneous, as although moisture in some shape is conducive to it, so, on the other hand, too much wet chills the soil, and also the atmosphere, and destroys it. When I hunted Holderness, which is allowed to be one of the deepest and wettest countries in England, I observed that there was always the best scent when the ground merely showed the impression of the ball of the fox's foot ; CAUSES OF SCENT FAILING. 175 when it was soft enough to allow the leg to penetrate deep into the soil, the result generally was, that there was little or no scent. Again, in sandy countries, I have frequently observed a burning scent in the spring, when the exhalations were the strongest on liot simmj days. In speaking of Holderness, and the East Riding of Yorkshire, I before remarked (with the exception of the Wolds), how wet a great portion of the country was, particularly after heavy rains. Some years ago, when Lord Middleton hunted the country known as Sir Tatton Sykes's country, old Tom Carter being at that time his Lordship's huntsman, the hounds were brought to cover one morning at the usual hour, when Tom, to relieve the gentlemen already arrived, from the anxiety of waiting, with a low bow thus addressed them. "My Lord's compliments, and he does not intend hunting this morning, as the country is so deluded with water." Natural land which has never been fur- row-drained, is generally allowed to afford better sport from its scenting qualifications, than soil in a very liigh state of cultivation; fresh strewed manure will stop hounds as all huntsmen know, so will soot after it has been spread a month on the young wheat in the spring. Changing from good scenting ground to bad, is undoubtedly more prejudicial to hunting, and has saved the lives of more beaten foxes than any other untoward circumstances to which hounds are liable. The old story of the huntsman and the violets, is too stale for insertion here, but the fact that the wild garlic which abounds in Lord Hotham's cover, Dalton wood, near Beverley, rendering it next to an impossi- bility to hunt a fox through it, is too well known by 176 TRAVELLING HOUNDS IN A CARAVAN. hundreds of sportsmen to be contradicted. Any thing which attracts the attention of hounds in chase, may cause a check the most fatal, and I have more than once seen my hounds, when running over the York- shire Wolds, allured from their line by the cry of wildgeese, which abound in thousands all over that district which borders on the Humber. In the first instance, the geese are attracted to the spot by the cry of the hounds, and the hounds when checkings hear a cry so nearly approaching their own sweet noise, that they absolutely stare up in the air, and seem to try to join these aerial choristers. In mentioning this circumstance to Mr. Frank Watt, who hunted the Wolds with his harriers for many seasons, he assured me that he had repeatedly seen, and been highly amused by a similar occurrence. If the distances are very long to cover, it is some- times necessary for the hounds and horses to be taken on over night; but to some gentlemen who may keep what is termed a three day pack, this may be very inconvenient ; as having only one body to draw from, by sending them to lie out, many of the hounds will very frequently not get even one clear day's rest between the hunting days. This difficulty may be remedied, by having them conveyed on the morning of hunting, in a carriage built like a caravan, with a large dickey in front, capable of containing three per- sons abreast, with a small boot underneath to hold caps, whips, great coats, or anything else which it may be necessary to convey in it. I believe Lord Southampton, when that nobleman hunted Leices- tershire, was the first sportsman who introduced this TRAVELLING HOUNDS IN A CARAVAN. 177 method of conveying the pack to cover, which has since been adopted by other masters of hounds. It is undoubtedly economical in the end, in the wear and tear of hounds, as by thus saving them so many miles of road work in bad weather, they will be enabled to undergo an additional day's labour in each fortnight, or even oftener; where the utmost distance to the place of meeting does not exceed eleven or twelve miles, it is of little consequence, but the constant habit of travelling hounds a long way to cover in a morning, and dragging them home in the dark, for upwards of twenty miles, cuts them up, and jades them infinitely more than most persons are aware of. A huntsman should take especial care never to let his hounds lie down, even for an instant, upon the cold ground, particularly on their return from hunting ; if it is very late, and necessary to call at any inn or other place for gruel for the horses, the more advisable plan is, if the distance from the kennel is very great, and the hounds have had a hard day, to shut them up in a clean stable or barn for five or ten minutes, and to buy five or six large loaves of stale bread, which may be cut into pieces, and distributed amongst them as equally as possible. When the horses have finished their gruel, a very small quantity of scalded meal and milk, just sufficient for each hound to take six or seven laps, should be mixed in several different pails, at certain distances in the yard, and when the men are mounted the hounds may be let out. By having it mixed in several pails, they will be all more likely to come in for a share. The good effects of this slender repast will be N 17B KILLING A MAY FOX. not only evident by the curling of their sterns, and the high spirits with which they will travel homewards, but their freshness on the following morning will be considerably promoted by it. How long do you intend hunting? is a question perpetually put to a master of hounds. The best answer to give is, as long as the peas and beans will allow us. From the difference of the nature of the soil, and the grain grown thereon, some countries are better calculated for spring hunting than others; but where the above mentioned description of vegetable produce is the prevailing crop, the sooner the season is closed after the first week in April the better. How frequently do we hear " Ware wheat" dinned into the ears of some unfortunate aspirant to the honours of a " lead," every day we are hunting ; but if Ware beans, peas, vetches, and seeds, were substituted for the above ejaculation, it would be much more to the purpose ; excepting where the land is very wet and tender, the riding over wheat does little or no harm, and of this I have been repeatedly assured by some of the most intelligent and experienced farmers in the country, and who have occupied farms close to fox covers all their lives ; but with all kinds of pulse, young clover, or very rotten and tender meadows, it is a very different thing : if the wet settles afterwards in the clinkers, or marks of the horses' feet, the roots generally perish. The fashion of hunting very late, and the custom of killing a May fox, is now becoming almost obsolete, more probably because the latter part of the season is spent in woodlands and forests, where the modern fox-hunter would be as much out of his element as the emperor THE APRIL MONTH AT KETTERING. 179 of China would be in the frozen region of Kamschatka. The New Forest hounds which used to hunt out the first week in May, now generally close their campaign on or about the 20tli of April ; and I am not aware of any other hunt of the present day which prolongs the season beyond the end of that month, excepting the Pytchley, which remain at their woodland quarters at Brigstock until about the 6th or 7th of May, and sometimes even as late as the 12th. From the nature of the country, there being little or no arable land between the woods, and part of it including Rocking ham Forest, no mischief can be done here at this season of the year any more than at Christmas, and there being plenty of foxes, their sport is always of the very first order. A great part of the woods belong to His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, who is not only a master of hounds himself in the North, but a good friend to the cause ; and his head keeper, Mr. Fletcher, is, perhaps, the finest old sportsman and the best pre- server of foxes in any district in England. He con- stantly joins the hunt, and no one can forget his animated figure who has seen him when viewing a fox across a riding, and blowing his horn, which he inva- riably carries. Strangers who have passed " the April month" at Kettering for the purpose of enjoying spring- hunting in perfection, have been not more delighted with the excellence of the runs, than astonished, as well they might, at the great destruction of foxes, the hounds being repeatedly seen while crossing to have the half of a fine cub in their mouths ; yet the increase is so great, and such excellent care is taken of them at other times, that when the season again commences, n2 180 ,marten-cats. plenty of game is found, and by the end of October, they can generally count from twenty to twenty-five brace of noses on the door of the Brigstock kennel. Owing to that growing evil, the preservation of pheasants, many districts which were a few years since full of foxes, and afforded excellent sport, both in cub hunting and the spring, are now nearly deprived of the presence of those animals. I, for my own part, am a great admirer of spring hunting, and have frequently seen as good sport and as hard running at this time of the year as at any other. When hunting in large woodlands twenty years since, it was not a very uncommon occurrence to meet with a Marten Cat ; he is a beautiful animal, and where they abound he may be seen easily in a morning running about, and drying himself along a piece of park-paling, or other wooden fence, previous to his going into his place of retire- ment, which is sometimes a hollow tree, and occasionally the usurped nest of the magpie or carrion crow ; but the murderous system of trapping, has nearly annihil- ated, not only the Marten, but almost all other wild animals and birds of prey. In those days the great Glede, or Forked-tailed Kite, the Buzzard, and the Raven might be both seen and heard continually, when hunting in the neighbourhood of any large woodlands, in the solitude of which their well-known forms and notes made an interesting addition to the harmony of the scene. But they have vanished, and that more fashionable foreigner, the pheasant, has supplanted them. The scent of the marten cat is remarkably sweet, and eagerly pursued by almost every description of dog ; our forefathers used to enter their fox-hounds to him, ^■i^fy^ -ir vv 'I" ,1- Ws?

Although in the constant habit of climbing, when hunted, he will stand sometimes for above half- an-hour before hounds, with a good scent, without treeing, when the following method for dislodging him is frequently practised. A man climbs part of the way up the tree, and holds under him some damp straw or hay, which is lighted ; immediately upon his perceiving the smoke he darts out of the tree, and so great is his agility, that he will, more frequently than not, escape through the legs of the hounds which stand baying at him, and eagerly watching his descent. About fifteen years since, a remarkable coincidence occurred to the hounds of Sir Richard Sutton, in the Burton country, and which were divided into a dog and bitch pack, each killing, during the season, twenty-one brace and a-half of foxes, and each a marten cat, in a wood near to Lincoln ; one was killed in cub-hunting, the other later in the season. If the outstanding woodlands are large, and the foxes plentiful, there can be no harm in protracting this noble amusement, as long as the farmer is not injured by it ; but where the land is totally arable, and where the cubs will be well taken care of, and where they will be useful to enter the young hounds in autumn, I would on no account cut them off in the spring by killing the old vixens. A brace or two of cubs killed in August or September will be of moi e service to the welfare of the pack than twice that nu nber would be, if murdered in April or May. Vixen foxes generally lay up their cubs from the middle to the end of the 182 MR. osbaldeston's hounds. month of March ; some litters are produced as late as the middle of April, but not often. In some instances, cubs have been discovered in the depth of winter, though such occurrences are rare. I recollect Mr. Osbaldes- ton's hounds once killed a bitch fox in cub during the month of December, in Northamptonshire. A good nursery, as a feeder to the rest of the country, is a most essential thing, and as some persons are not fond of having their covers disturbed very late in the season, the convenience and wishes of all large landed proprietors, whose covers are extensive, and whose love for hunting and its concomitants prompts them to preserve the cubs, as well as the old foxes, ought on all occasions to be considered. It is, I am sorry to observe, a cir- cumstance of every day occurrence to hold out the appearance of preserving, while not one litter of cubs is ever permitted to remain, for fear that some old one-legged hen pheasant should be kidnapped. This is as illiberal as it is deceitful, for it is as totally impossible for a pack of hounds to be taught their work without plenty of cubs to enter them to, as it would be for a lad to attempt to construe a play of Sophocles without having first learnt the Greek grammar. No animal was ever created in vain, and if the good that foxes do was weighed against the mischief of which they are very frequently and wrong- fully accused, I am convinced that the former would greatly preponderate in the scale of an impartial judge. I was once taken by an earth-stopper to be shown, as a convincing proof of the utility of these animals, the remains of the prey belonging to a litter of cubs in the neighbourhood where I was then THE FOX AND MICE. 183 residing. In a large kennel, or bathering place, as it is sometimes called, we discovered the skins of five hedge-hogs, the mutilated remains of nearly a dozen moles, four or five rats, rabbits' legs, the feathers of small birds, two frogs, and the half consumed carcase of one old solitary hen ; but it was evident from her extreme age that she must have ceased to produce, and consequently, would have been of no earthly use to the farmer, from whom she had been taken. The chief food of foxes, although I candidly allow that they at times destroy game and poultry, consists of all kinds of reptiles and insects, but more particularly field mice, of which any one may be thoroughly convinced, if he will take the trouble of either examining the animals' billeting, or of following the nightly track of one in the snow; he would then plainly see how curiously they hunt and examine every tuft of grass and stubble cock, and where they pounce upon the mice and devour them. It would not be fair to mention names on such a 184 HUNTING IN THE MIDLAND COUNTIES. subject, but the fact is beyond question, and it bears so closely and forcibly upon what I have been saying about the destruction of foxes, that I shall mention an anecdote relating to it. The hounds of a noble lord,* who some years ago hunted one of the Midland counties, were advertised to meet at the covers of a gentleman which were in those days more celebrated for the number of pheasants which they harboured, than for the good runs wliich they afforded to fox- hounds. As it was well known that there was no chance of a find, the keeper, as I am charitable enough to suppose that it must have been done without his master's connivance, procured a bagman, which was to be put down in due form when the hounds were drawing; this disgraceful intention having come, by some means or other, to the ears of the noble owner of the pack, he was determined to be even with the intended perpetrator of the insult. Riding up to the cover side exactly as the hand of his watch rested upon the appointed hour, he thus addressed his hunts- man. " My hounds meet at half-past ten, and I wait for no one, throw them into cover, Harry;" in they went, and a blank draw was the result. " Why there is not even the slightest touch of a fox," says his lordship, and away he trotted to another cover seven miles distant, leaving the keeper, the bagman, and a large party of gentlemen in the lurch, who were at breakfast, and anxiously expecting the arrival of the hounds. Before I conclude my labours, I suppose I must, according to custom, give a description of a perfect * The Late Lord Middleton. GALLANT RUX WITH THE BELVOIR HOUNDS. 185 run. Now I consider that imaginary runs are almost too puerile for even cockneys to read ; and although I could describe a run perfect in all its parts, even to the " who whoop " and where I might add " e/ quorum pars magna fid,''' the fact of its having taken place in a provincial district, and consequently the ground traversed only well known to a few snobs*, I will content myself by transcribing from " The Journal of the Operations of the Belvoir Fox-hounds," a run which took place on December 10, 1805, and which has justly been pronounced as one of the best runs ever recorded. There will be no imaginari/ conversa- tion between imaginary persons introduced, no line of country selected to serve the purpose; and although there will be no " death holloa" wafted on the Q^ales to Cottesmore, I hope I may be allowed to introduce it without further apology. Waltham, Dec. 10. — It had snowed considerably in the morning, and was inclined to freeze; and, as the Sun had little or no power, we soon perceived, on meeting at \Yaltham, that there was no probability of the snow melting sufficiently to enable us to throw off in that country. As the Vale of Belvoir appeared free from snow, we determined, by a rapid and sudden movement, to reach Jericho Cover. Unex- pected as our appearance was in that quarter, yet the foxes were not taken by surprise. On our arrival there, we were informed that a fox had been disturbed from an adjoining stubble-field, and had entered the cover. Probably he had passed through it ; for, on throwing in the hounds, some of them would have * All who may have never made their debut in Leicestershire. 186 GALLANT RUN WITH THE BELVOIR HOUNDS. brought away a scent at the gate in the top part of the cover. They soon however found ; and the fox came away along the hedge-row that runs from the North-east corner. The hounds came out with* another fox at first ; but hallooing them from him, we laid them on the scent of the former, and ran him very hard across the road that leads to Whatton ; then turned to the right, and, crossing the Whipling, came up nearly to the canal, two fields from Redmile Bridge. Here we experienced a check, by the hounds being overrode : but they hunted him forwards, and he got up in view to the pack from some rushesf in a field opposite to the Windmill, which stands on the Bel voir side of the canal. They now set off at the best pace, making a direct point for Bottesford Town; and then bearing to the left, crossed the Nottingham Turnpike Eoad, at the Toll-bar, leading to Elton, leaving Bottesford completely on the right. Crossed the riverj Devon ; and leaving the Village of Nor- manton on the right, and Kilvington on the left, made a direct point for Staunton ; but turning to the right, went over§ the road that leads from Bottesford to the North Road, up to Normanton Thorns. The fox had skirted the cover without entering it, leaving it on his * This fox had returned into the cover; and we were lucky in getting the hounds away from him. t Many gentlemen were thrown out at this point; and such was the pace of the hounds from hence, that they never saw more of them until we turned back from Gotham. i The only persons who leaped this wide brook, were Mr. Forester, and J. Wing, a farmer ; the latter fell in the attempt. The rest of the field leaped into the bottom of it, and got out at a watering-place for cattle, which fortunately offered itself on the opposite side. § The only check that occurred between the field where the fox jumped up in view, and the point whence they turned back from Cotham, was at this place, owing to their being pressed along a hedge-row. GALLANT RUN WITH THE BELVOIR HOUNDS. 187 left ; and when we reached the top of the adjoining hill, we viewed him two fields a-head. He now took the road which leads to Long Bennington ; but turned from it into the lane that leads to the left to Gotham ; and leaving that, he made his point to the North Road, which he kept on his right till close to Gotham Village. He had now run ten miles, with the wind directly in his teeth ; and all persons were unanimous in considering it as a fine run, and in expecting immediate death. They little knew the strength and intentions of the animal before them. He had been sorely pressed since he jumped up in view ; and finding that his upwind course was no longer safe, he deserted whatever point he had in that line, and turned back down wind, from Mr. Evelyn Sutton's White Farm- house ; by which measure he at first threw the hounds* to hunting. They however recovered their terms in a few moments ; and going back close to Long Ben- nington Town, stretched away on a line for Foston, until they reached the road that runs from the former place towards Allington. They ran along it nearlyf a mile, until they came to a small fir plantation on the eastern side of the lane, in Allington Lordship. Hence they turned away to the right by Bennington Grange; crossed the Nottingham Turnpike-road, left Muston Village on their right, and went up to Sir John Thorold's Plantation. The fox came out in view * Mr. Cholmondelev, who had been thrown out ia the course of tlie run, hearing the bounds returning towards him, looked for the fox, and saw him come through a hedge close to him, and not more than two fields before the hounds. He crouched for a few moments, and then returned through tlie hedge back towards the hounds ; but of course speedily changed h s direction again. t Some men had viewed him in this lane, and he was then about four or five minutes before the hounds. 188 GALLANT RUN WITH THE BELVOIR HOI NDS. to many gentlemen, and made for the Canal Bridge opposite : but being headed by a man there, he returned through the cover, and away at the opposite end. Two couple of hounds got away close to his brush ; and the remainder hunted after them over the river, and overtook them when within three fields of Sedgebrook Village, They now again ran very hard over this beautiful country, leaving Sedgebrook on the left, with their heads direct for Barrowby Thorns : after going within two* fields of that cover, they suddenly turned to the right, and ascended the hill which lies between the Nottingham Road and the Thorns ; on the top of which is a clump of fir trees. From this point, several horses dated their discomfi- ture. The hounds, after ascending the hill, proceeded without any relaxation of pace, leaving Barrowby Town half a mile on the right, pointing for Gunnerby Village ; but when they entered Gunnerby Open Field, they turned sharp to the right; and, going over a hollow that runs up from Grantham, they crossed the hill on the other side ; went over Earle's Fields, and came down to the canal, within two hundred yards of the wharf at Grantham. The fox had intended to nick a Swing-bridge,'}" opposite the toll bar; but, having missed his point by three hundred * Previous to this point, be Lad been again twice viewed, and each time was five minutes before the hounds. t This fox had shown a marked dislike to water during- the whole of his widely extended course. At Muston Plantation, when headed from the bridge, he made no other attempt to cross the canal, though it probably was his intention, at that time, to make a direct point for the Woodlands, which he could have done with a saving of five or six miles. Again, at the Grantham Swing Bridge, he was determined, in defiance of the man who was upon it, to pass over it, and effected bis purpose : and in crossing the river at Great Paunton, he did not go through the river, but availed himself of a foot-bridge. GALLANT RUN WITH THE BELVOIR HOUNDS. 189 yards, he ran the Towing-path, and then crossed over the bridg-e. A man who was there, informed us that he had pushed across during the time he was actually standing upon it, and that he was then ten minutes before us. Crossing the Melton turnpike-road, we now ascended the hill, and, leaving Harlaxton Wood just upon the right, went away, at great speed on the part of the hounds, to Straxton. Leaving this place immediately on* the right, they crossed the Earths, and made a straight point down to Great Paunton Town. Here they crossed the highf North Road, and, going by the north-end of the town, went over the river, and the Earths by the mill ; ascended the opposite hill, and going across the Stone Quarry, skirted Paunton Wood, as if bound for Boothby, but, turning to the right, went over the fine country to Stoke Park. They left that cover on the right, and Bassenthorpe Village on the left, and, topping the hill, went away for Burton Slade Wood ; when, the company being now reduced to five or six persons, the horses of the huntspeople tired, and not in sight, the spirit, exertion, and strength of our extraordinary fox, undiminished and unbroken, and a prospect of an immediate change in these great Woodlands, it was deemed advisable to whip off the hounds at this point;]: ; which was effected, with much difficulty, by • They went through a small garden close to the village. t Very few horsemen went forward from hence ; — horses were to be seen in all parts of the country in great distress, and the only gentlemen who were at the conclusion, were Messrs. Forester, Berkeley Craven, and Vansittart; and of these> the two latter had not been near the hounds during the severe part of the run, after the fox jumped up in view between Redmile and Bottesford. X Of twenty-one couples of hounds that were out, eighteen and a half couples were either immediately with the pack at the time of stopping them, or caiue up with the huntsjieople immediately after. Among the stoutest hounds were particularly distinguishable, Traveller and Helen. 190 GALLANT RUN WITH THE BELVOIR HOUNDS. Cecil Forester, Esq., and one or two others. On examining the period of duration of this wonderful chace, it was found to have lasted three hours. This run is supposed by all sportsmen to have been the best that can be remembered in the annals of fox-hunting. Its great distinguishing marks were, the distance of the point where the fox was found from the place where the hounds were whipped from the scent, and the still greater distance of the furthest point in the run (Gotham) from the same place. The former is not less, as the crow flies, than fourteen miles ; the latter, eighteen. The other qualifications which give this run a decided superiority over all others that can be remembered, were the beauty and the novelty of the country over which the fox carried us, and the extraordinary and continued pace at which the hounds ran during the whole time. Con- fident in his own strength, the fox never endeavoured to keep farther away from the pack than a few minutes ; and to this, perhaps, is partly to be attri- buted the apparent goodness of the scent, and the consequent severity of the chace. He was at no time pressed to defeat*, excepting when he gave up his Gotham point; nor did he fear showing himself occasionally, as he did before we reached Bottesford, and again at Long Bennington, and a third time at Sir John Thorold's Plantation. It was thought by * It must be recollected, that this fox was possessed of such stoutness, that he endured, for three hours, the pace which is in general supposed equal to the destruction of an ordinary fox in forty minutes. He had evidently a knowledge of Mr. Musters' county, by his running up wind to Cotham ; and when he found that it was not safe to persevere longer in that line, he immediately determined upon reaching the Great Woodlands, nearly twenty miles distant in another direction. CONCLUSION 191 many persons that the hounds must have changed here : but the only foundation upon which they could rest this opinion, was the impossibility of a run so severe and extensive, being the exertion of a single fox. At Muston Plantation he was viewed thrice, and by most of the company ; and it was easy to be seen that we had not then changed : and as there never was at any time the most trifling division of scent, and we never entered any cover whatever, with the exception of the above mentioned plantation, it is certainly equally fair to presume that we never did change. It remains only to add, that during the three hours that the hounds were running, they were supposed, on a moderate calculation, to have run from thirty-five to thirty-eight miles ; — and that they crossed, during that period, through twenty lordships. Of the extraordinary fox which they pursued, we can only say: — " Semper honos, nomenque suum, laudesque manebiint.'' There is something to me always particularly melan- choly in the spring ; as the close of the hunting season approaches, it invariably brings with it a train of gloomy ideas and reminiscences; of by-gone happy days ; of the absence of friends, who have taken their departure, until the revolving year brings winter round again, and perhaps never more to return. Whether it is the consciousness of the departure of life, or feelings imbibed from the soft Favonian breath of spring, I know not, which makes this period appear so depressing to the spirits, and so productive of a desire to reflect and moralize, but there is undoubtedly something in the atmosphere of this season, which is 192 CONCLUSION. not to be perceived during any other quarter of the year. Although the weather is generally finer than in the previous months, and the new and beauteous livery with which nature is still in the act of adorning herself, seems to impart not only to the vegetable, but also to the animal creation a freshness and splendour, which one might suppose would awaken different ideas and feelings in the bosom of man. As we ride along the sunny side of some lengthened and impenetrable wood, listening to the monotonous and gloomy sound of the voice of the whipper-in, or the opening note of some distant hound challenging upon the drag of a disturbed fox ; every vision which rises up before us, and every object upon which we allow the eye to dwell, seems to remind us that May is not the season of the year for fox-hunting. The shrill bleeting of the helpless lambs, as they start from the bank-side on which they were basking, warns us of the danger of their situation; the high notes of the thrush, and the lengthened song of the blackbird, seem to mock us as we cheer the well known find; even the modest primrose, and the powerful scent of the violet, lend their assistance to baffle our attempts to pursue our unseasonable amusement ; and remind us by their looks, if their voices are mute, that this must be recorded in our journal, as the last day of the season. Even the honest farmer, as we pass his homestead, or the newly repaired gap, over which he peers with an indignant scowl, greets us with a very different expres- sion, both ofcountenance and voice, to what he did at Christmas ; and instead of the accustomed smile, and CONCLUSION. 193 the proffered glass of his wife's ale; the sullen remark of " I suppose you won't come any more this turn," forms the whole of both salutation and adieu from that disapproving quarter. All this is anything but conducive to quiet and satisfactory feelings, and by drinking the pleasures of life to the dregs, we totally defeat the object with which they ought always to be pursued. As we draw nearer to home, these con- flicting reminiscenses and visions seem to dwell more forcibly upon our fancy, and as the fleeting echo of the last blast of the horn dies away upon the ear, as we approach the kennel for the last time, this painful idea rushes across the mind, shall I ever again enjoy this most enchanting of all recreations? this most noble and manly of all pursuits; shall I ever again read in this " Table wherein all my thoughts Are visibly character'd and engraved ?" or must I exclaim when I turn my face away, as the door is shut upon the unwilling steps of my lingering companions, — FAREWELL.
