[Footnote 4: I must express my regret that it has not been found possible to reproduce the photograph of this famous hound, though it was most kindly sent me by Mrs. Pryse-Rice.--Editor.] The stock of Restless are well to the fore, for last year--1897--no fewer than nine of her descendants were winners at the Peterborough Show. Rigby, a fine upstanding hound, of pure harrier blood, by Eamont Barrister--their Russet was second for the Champion Cup in 1897, and as he was unentered and was shown against old dog-hounds, this was a remarkably good performance. To quote once more from Mrs. Pryse-Rice's own words: "We have never," she says, "had a big count of hares killed. We--my husband acts as my first whip and A. Mandeville is K.H. and second whip--are quite content to come home having accounted for one hunted hare, or when we kill a brace in this way, it is quite a red-letter day for us. I do not see any fun in either chopping them, or in killing three or four hares that only run a few fields, though of course this does make up the count." Touching on the subject of the introduction of the foxhound cross with harriers, Mrs. Pryse-Rice says that she is "in favour of an infusion of foxhound blood, in moderation, into the harrier kennel." The country hunted by Mrs. Cheape lies round Redditch, and extends into Warwickshire and Gloucestershire. In 1892, when "The Squire" inherited the Bentley estates from her father, she bought the well-known pack of harriers belonging to Captain Spicer, of Spye Park, and several couple of the Herondon Hall harriers. The Bentley pack of the present day includes many Peterborough winners, and deservedly ranks very high among the harrier packs of the land. The hounds, however, have not been bred for show purposes only, but for nose and tongue, and to show sport. At the Peterborough show of last year (1897) the first prize for dog hounds, under 19 inches, was taken by Mrs. Cheape's Wellfield and Gainer. The former of these is by Lord E. Somerset's Dancer--Woodbine, and through his dam, which was the winner of the champion cup for bitch hounds not exceeding 19 inches, at Peterborough in 1893, strains back to the Aldenham Restless. Gainer, on the other hand, is a home-bred hound. A grand three couple, which took the silver cup in 1897, are Buxom (Wellfield--Bracelet, dam by Boddington Borderer--Breconshire Lightstone) also winner of the champion cup; Gadfly, home-bred; Verity (Aldenham Valiant--Their Restless); Waterwitch, home-bred (Waggoner--Woodbine); Warlike, also a son of Wellfield; and Dahlia, home bred (Druid--Worry); the sire of the last (Ashford Valley Pillager--H. H. Dewdrop) being one of the winners of the first prize for best couple of entered hounds, not exceeding 19 inches, in 1894, at Peterborough. Truly a triumph of breeding and selection of which any woman may be proud. [Illustration: _BRACELET_, _WATERWITCH_, _VERITY_, _WOODBlNE_, _GENEROUS_, _WORRY_. _MRS.
