Excerpt from The Reminiscences of Frank Gillard (Huntsman): With the Belvoir Hounds, 1860 to 1896 My feelings prompt me to dedicate this volume to the memory of my late master, Lord Charles Cecil John Manners, Sixth Duke of Rutland, as a slight token Of unchanged regard and esteem. The kind personal feeling and interest always shown by the house of Manners towards me during my long tenure of office as huntsman to the family pack, has been an inspiration to excel so far as in me lay. To encouragement from the late Duke Of Rutland I owe the habit of keeping a continuous record of the doings of hounds in the field through all my time, to which fact this book owes its origin, and I venture to hope that the anecdotes and sayings recorded therein of a succession of generations Of Sportsmen who have made 'leicestershire famous will be read in no unkindly spirit, but will keep their memory green for many a year to come. Amongst those whose remarks in print I value greatly and have kept for reference when discussing hounds, are those of Mr. G. S. Lowe, Captain Pennell Elmhirst, Plantagenet, and Phantom, of the Field newspaper, who spent many an hour on the flags with me at Belvoir. The writings, too, of Whipster of Land and Water, and Tally-ho of the Grant/lam J onrnal, I gratefully acknowledge; whilst through the kind permission of Mr. Basil Nightingale, the proprietors Of Land and Water.
