John Squires came from Hampshire in 1862 to carry the horn with theLanarkshire and Renfrewshire pack, and he soon established himself as auniversal favourite with followers, for he had a cheery manner, and wasone of the old type of huntsmen we so seldom see nowadays. The countrywas at this time rather bare of foxes, and Squires accomplished muchimprovement in this respect by laying down vixens where necessary. Uptill 1874 he showed capital sport, and was credited with a wonderful knackof knowing the usual course taken by old foxes. It was under tragiccircumstances on a November day that the familiar blast of his horn wassilenced never to be heard again. The meet was at Bridge-of-Weir, andhounds ran fast from Torr up to Barcraig, and when passing through thiswoodland Squires fell from his horse and was killed. 7° The Lanarkshire and Renfrezvshire Hunt.
