AND STIRLINGSHIRE HUNT 



Rompish, of whose progeny the most noteworthy 

 were dog-hounds, became the dam of Renegade 

 (1892) and . Governor (1893), the grand-dam of 

 Genitor (1896), Woldsman (1898), and Hamlet 

 (1899); and the great-grand-dam of Hostile (1902), 

 all of which were used by Mr Fred Usher. But the 

 Blankney Fairy as well as Rompish was the for- 

 bear of more than one sire which has had his in- 

 fluence on the pack, since from her were descended 

 Genitor, before mentioned, Grappler (1898) and 

 Sounder (1900); while the blood of Atherstone 

 Trusty, w^hich had been continued through his 

 daughters, Fanciful, Fallacy, and Forcible (1888), 

 was to be found in Lavish (1893), and again in 

 her offspring Luther (1896) and Legal (1898). 

 To Captain Johnstone's Trueman and Templar 

 many couples could be traced, the former having 

 got Tapster (1891), Trimbush (1891), and Rene- 

 gade before mentioned ; and the latter. Blissful 

 (1894), also before mentioned, Faithful, Famous, and 

 Favourite (1894), and Donovan (1895). Although 

 the sires of other kennels were not much resorted 

 to. Lord Fitz William's Chanter (1891), the Duke 

 of Buccleuch's Trident (1892), the Dumfriesshire 

 Pilot (1894), the South Durham Streamer (1896), 

 and the Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Resolute 

 (1899), and their Raeburn (1900), were all used 

 between the years 1894 and 1904; and as their 

 stock proved themselves workers, their lines have 

 been perpetuated.
