THE BELVOIR HUNT. 31 



a day on the flags, in early summer, when 

 Render was in his bloom. The veteran 

 Singer, with rare shape and good bone ; 

 Alfred, somewhat above the average height ; 

 and Stripling, were objects of his especial 

 favour. 



The entry for the season 1871 reads 

 well, and is no doubt equal to predecessors. 

 Two couples are due to the good old hound 

 Senator, the last of Destitute's descendants. 

 There is also the same number accredited to 

 Rambler, his son, whose dam Remedy was 

 daughter of Rallywood. One couple and 

 a half are the produce of Ruler, grandson 

 of Render, and great grandson of Mr Fol- 

 jambe's Forester. And a similar lineage 

 is displayed through Wildboy to one couple; 

 Stormer, Fairplay, Ringwood, Contest, 

 Nectar, and Wonder, have each of them 

 a single representative. Lord Kesteven's 

 Seaman is sire of one couple and a half, 

 and his lordship's Primate of one couple.
