170 CLEVELAND AND E8KDALE. 



young hounds bred had all the characteristics of 

 the denizens of the Fitzwilliam Kennels. Mr. 

 Andrew also used the Durham County a little, 

 and got a hound or two from Col. Cowen which 

 did good service in his pack. Once some hounds 

 were obtained from Ireland through the liberality 

 of the late Admiral Chaloner, but they did not 

 do much good, and were only bred from once or 

 twice. As already stated, Mr. Wharton used 

 theHartforth blood largely, and also obtained some 

 drafts from the Puckeridge. Admiral, General, 

 and Nelson have already been referred to. 

 Perhaps no hound ever did more good in the 

 Cleveland kennel than Admiral, a big hound 

 with famous legs and feet, good shoulders and 

 loins. He was a splendid hound in his work, as 

 were also General and Nelson.* 



In the second year of Mr. Proud's mastership 

 a draft of good hounds came from the Oakley, 

 through Mr. W. H. A. Wharton, the present 

 master of the Cleveland. This consisted of thi-ee 

 couples, viz.. Skilful by the Milton Sailor, out of 

 Oakley Discord ; Wrangle, by the Milton 

 Wrangle, out of the Oakley Flora ; Trinket 

 and Trouncer, by Oakley Trouncer, out of Skil- 

 ful ; Baronet by Oakley Bachelor, out of their 



■'•' Admiral, by Lord Portsmouth's Fencer, out of Major Browne's 

 Adamant ; General, by Major Browne's Chanter, out of his 

 Gracious ; and Nelson, by Major Browne's Noble, out of his 

 Needful.
