APPENDIX B. 



As Mr. Milbank and Mr. Duncombe both owned the 

 hounds with which they hunted the country (1832- 

 1867), and each disposed of them on ceasing to be 

 Master ; there is no record of any ' * Bedale ' ' hounds 

 until Mr. Booth took over the country. [Note. I have 

 not been able to obtain any private hound lists between 



1832, 1867.] , ^ , 



The first entry of the '' Bedale " in the Foxhound 

 Kennel Stud Book, is for the year 1862. Two nine 

 season hunters, " Active," from the Duke of Rutland, 

 and " Lively " (Lifter, out of Lavender). 



In the same book, the first record of any home-bred 

 hounds is for the year 1870, when a couple or two were 

 put on, their sires being from Mr. Cradock's and the 

 Hurworth Kennels. There is then a break until 1874, 

 when two couples by Remus (1872), Lord Yarborough's 

 Bachelor, out of Lord Middleton's Rita (1866) were 

 entered. He left three couples in the following year, 

 and one couple in 1878. 



From this date until 1890, the pack seems to have 

 been entirely recruited by draft hounds, as on neither 

 the dam's nor the sire's side, is anything worthy of 

 mention to be found. 



Since 1890, the Bedale bitches have done better, 

 and although the stallion hounds have not always 

 been provided in the Kennel ; it is more satisfactory 

 to see that in eighteen years, an average of eight 

 couples a year, home bred, have found their way into 

 the Hound List. 



In considering the different Kennels from which this 

 outside blood has come, since the year 1870, they rank 

 in the following order. 



First, The Belvoir ; second, The Brocklesby ; third, 

 The Bramham Moor ; fourth, The Holderness ; fifth, 

 all about even; Lord Middleton's, The Milton, The 

 Cleveland, The York and Ainsty and The Grove.
