Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Third of a Century With the High Peak Harriers: Compiled From Mr. Nesfield's Hunting Diary Mr. Nesfield having, to the great regret of every hunting man in North Derbyshire. decided to retire from the Mastership of the High Peak Harriers, has allowed me to look through his healing journals, with the view of making a few extract; but I find this a difficult task, as I should like to "extract" the whole. Mr. Nesfield has hunted the hound for thirty-two season The gram number of day in any one season was fifty-three, in 1876-7. the smallest, twenty-four, in 1879-10. The total number of day is 1355. The greatest number of hare killed in any one season was fifty-seven, in 1876-7. the smallest, eight, in 1886-7. The total number of hares is one thousand exactly. This in such a strange coincidence that I Submit the figure hereafter. The hounds are dwarf foxhounds, twenty-inch standard. The pride Mr. Nesfield ha always taken is their appearance ha* been more than justified. Hear what "G. S L.," one of the best hound judges said in The Field in November, 1887: - "Nothing can be much more perfect and symmetrical than some of the little Belvoir hounds that Mr. Nesfield showed me. a although not over twenty Inches, they are fall of stuff and boon, and without a particle of weediness about them."
