. The American fox-hound : embracing a history of the celebrated Trigg, Birdsong and Maupin strains . I never knew her to pull out of a race,no matter how long it was, in her life; even after she got scold she could not keep up she would stay after the dogs all nightthe longest and darkest night in the year. I know you knowsome of these dogs by reputation and 1 dont believe there ishardly such a bred dog in this part of the State. Now as towhat kind of a fox dog he is: He is as fast as I care for; thatis, he will contend for the track from the start to finish withany dogs he has ever met, and as fair as a dog can be. Hestraddles the track and gives mouth free and after he runsthree or four hours no dog can beat him giving mouth and fewdogs I have ever seen can keep the track from him. He has afine mouth, short, coarse and fast, and the longer the race thefreer he yelps. He trails well, though he dont open as freeas some dogs. Will not cry a track twice in the same place,and the best broke dog T ever hunted. I have been huntinghim since he was nine months old and never knew him thrown. THE AMERICAN SOX-HOUND. 75 out of a race. The only weak point about him is he is not asgood a hunter as I would like him to be. You will have to bevery careful with him, as he has never had but one home, andthe most particular dog 1 ever saw about who he follows, thoughhe is very friendly with every one he conies about. I huntalmost altogether at night, but I believe almost every one elsehas quit night hunting. I would not give one race of fouror five hours at night for a weeks running in day time. I willrun Trooper to-night and ship him to you in the morning. Give me something of the history of the Birdsong dogs. Inever saw but one and was not pleased with it. Hoping tohear from you soon, I remain Yours, etc., W. S. Walker. Weatherford, Texas, Jan. 16, C. Trigg, Dear Sir : You ask for my opinion in regard to your breedof foxhounds as compared with other fox-hounds. Well, Ihave
