CLEVELAND BAYS. 251 



Fitzwilliam, the price being £100, and he stood 

 for several years at Coolattin, in Ireland. The 

 only representatives of his blood now in existence 

 spring from the stud of the Rt. Hon. James 

 Lowther, who bought the whole of Earl Fitz- 

 william's Cleveland Bays some five or six years 

 ago." 



The younger Brilliant, fortunately for the 

 country, but not for his owner, happened to dis- 

 place a hip joint, and, consequently, could not be 

 sold to go abroad, a fate which would undoubtedly 

 have been his had he kept perfectly sound. He 

 was of great service in his native land, and many 

 good horses are sired by him. 



The same may be said of Captain Cook, own 

 brother to the older Brilliant, whose stock have 

 been very successful both in the show ring and at 

 the stud. He was bought by Mr. Grayson of 

 Pickering, and was ultimately sold to leave the 

 country, though not until he had stocked it with 

 many excellent hor&es. 



The only pure-bred filly Damsel bred is Duchess 

 of Cleveland, who, after winning a few prizes as 

 a yearling, was sold to Mr. Thomas Darrell, of 

 Spiker's Hill, West Ayton, near York, for whom 

 she has bred some useful animals. 



There was a fair demand for horses of the 

 Cleveland type for Germany some thirty or forty 



■■'• Two of this strain are in the Duke of Hamilton's stud at 

 Easton Park, and are used for breeding hunters, &c.
