BEAGLE AND RABBIT.
"Engraved by Mr. SMITH, from a Paint-
ing of the same Artist.
THIS
PHIS beautiful breed of beagles
came from Baham Abbey,
Sussex. The dog, the portrait of
which is given in the plate, was
bred by Mr. Day, gamekeeper to
Earl Stanhope, who has paid par-
ticular attention to the breed,
and taken great care to keep it
pure. Finder is the property of
Mr. Fuller, of Froghole, Kent,
but mostly runs in a small cry, be-
longing to the Noble Earl named
above. Beagles are much used in
Kent and Sussex for the gun; in
hunting the extensive woods of
these counties, they are preferable

to spaniels-for rabbit shooting,
where there are few burrows, and
for a winged pheasant, they are
matchless, as they never leave
what they pursue for a fresh scent.
Many winged pheasants are lost,
both with spaniels and pointers,
but seldom with a beagle-they
are not so brisk as a spaniel, but
hunt their game more steadily. It
may also be said of them, that a
sportsman will get more shots at
rabbits and hares in cover, with a
couple or two of beagles than with
any other dogs; they run low, and
take the scent quick, and their
tongues are delightfully musical.
