THE BELVOIR HUNT. 27 



pedigrees of hounds through each sugees- 

 slve generation — I will just touch upon 

 the most celebrated of their progenitors, 

 commencing with Rallywood, entered In 

 1853. Through his sire, Lord Yarborough's 

 Rallywood traces back to Mr Osbaldes- 

 ton's Furrier, whose birthplace. It must be 

 remembered, was the Belvoir kennels ; 

 and in some twenty wide-spread branches 

 to Lord Yarborough's Ranter of 1791. 

 Sprightly, the dam of the Belvoir gem, was 

 a daughter of Mr Foljambe's Singer, inherit- 

 ing the excellences of the Vine Pilgrim, 

 who was full of the best old blood of the 

 Badminton worthies, while two strains from 

 the aforesaid Furrier again present them- 

 selves, with a happy combination of similar 

 ancestry, through Bluecap ; and the Bad- 

 minton Justice Is conspicuous as an Im- 

 portant root. Another strain to Bluecap 

 is to be found, together with Gulder, and 

 many more of native worth.
