Sinopsis
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892. Excerpt: ... The name is half obliterated by time, but at a guess it was Riotous, and he was the only hound on record in our parts that ever ran a fox from start to finish, and killed 'single-handed.' This happened through his sneaking down a hedge-row outside Freeby Wood, unbeknown to the whips, and getting on an outlying one, which he chased across the valley, over Buckminster Park, with no check at Newman's Gorse, or any of the other coverts. All fair' racing and chasing,' till with a veer to the left, and the mask towards Ponton, the hound brought his fox to book about where the Great Northern Railway now runs. What a feast that hound must have had all to himself! There wasn't much left, when a Corby shepherd discovered him at his revels and took him home to the castle, where he (the shepherd) not only received a handsome guerdon, but sampled Robert de Todcnei so thoroughly, that they had to give him a 'shakedown,' and send him back next morning. NOTES ON NOVELTIES. UITE up to date, and treated with his well-known power of originality, is the new Series of Steeplechasing Subjects from the pencil of John Beer. Disregarding all that has gone before, he has approached the illustration of this increasingly popular sport from a standpoint peculiarly his own, and with a freshness of style and brilliancy of colouring that will commend itself to devotees of Steeplechasing. The first plate depicts the field in various positions, warming up their mounts at a fence preliminary to the race itself. In the second they are well away, and some are topping the first fence with all the 'go' of perfect vigour. In the third is represented the water jump. One is negotiating it in good style, a riderless horse is apparently doing the same, while another is floundering in the middle wit...
