CLEVELAND AND ESKDALE. 171 



Flourish ; and Gracious, by the Oakley Granby, 

 out of their Sprightly. Baronet did good service 

 in the pack, but the pick of the draft was un- 

 doubtedly Wrangle, a handsome and speedy 

 bitch, and an indefatigable worker, but somewhat 

 light of tongue. She bred some famous hounds, 

 and a son of hers has been used as a stud hound 

 this year (1888). In 1881 Mr. Proud got the 

 last draft from the Fitzwilliam kennels that has 

 come into Cleveland, and it is remarkable as con- 

 taining the first of the Belvoir blood imported into 

 the Cleveland kennel. The drafts consisted of three 

 and a half couple, viz., Winifred and Wisdom, 

 by the Belvoir Why-not, out of the Wentworth 

 Winifred ; Nestor, by the Milton Stormer, out 

 of Lord FitzwiUiam's Novelty ; Bandom, by 

 Lord FitzwiUiam's Stranger, out of his Bivulet ; 

 Bingwood, by Lord FitzwiUiam's Champion, out 

 of his Boguish ; Bajazet, by the Milton Bajazet, 

 out of their Scornful ; and Statesman, by the 

 Belvoir Statesman, out of their Bedcap. Bajazet 

 was a capital worker, especially good on a 

 moderate scenting day, but was rather too silent. 

 Mr. Proud was very partial to him, and used 

 him a great deal as a stud hound. Two couple 

 also came from the Oakley the same year, viz.. 

 Trinket and Trusty, by Oakley Trouncer, out of 

 their Heroine ; Worthy, by the Milton Wrangler, 

 out of the Oakley Gipsy; and Daisy, by the Duke 

 of Grafton's Driver, out of the Oakley Spillikin.
