376. Confidence, however, in good breeding and breaking often induces sportsmen to give large sums for young dogs without seeing them in the field.
LARGE SUMS FOR POINTERS.
377. In July, 1848, thirteen pointers were sold at Tattersall’s, which brought the large sum of two hundred and fifty-six guineas, though only two of them had ever been shot over.
378. The following description of each was advertised before the sale. I have prefixed to it the prices they severally realized. Such sums mark how highly the public appreciate the qualifications of the breaker who lives with Mr. Moore, of Derbyshire, and ought to stimulate others to increased exertions.
379. To be Sold by Auction,
AT MESSRS. TATTERSALL’S,
On Monday, July 3d, 1848,
FOURTEEN SUPERIOR BRED POINTERS.
