THE WARWICKSHIRE HOUNDS. 83 



was by Lord Middleton's Bachelor out of his Rarity -lol^^tPok 



and was entered in 1819. Blemish, dam to three of 



the hounds attributable to Mr. Osbaldeston's, was by 

 Lord Sondes' Bajazet out of his Rarity, and was 

 entered in 1823. Hyale, the dam of a couple by Mr. 

 Osbaldeston's Caliban, was entered in 1821, and was by 

 Lord Althorpe's Horsa out of Lord Sondes' Laundress. 

 Ominous, the dam of Ornament by the Duke of Beau- 

 fort's Hectar, was entered the same year and was by 

 Lord Althorpe's Orpheus out of his Purity. The two 

 remaining hounds in the list of those supposed to have 

 been bought from Mr. Shirley are Dafifodil and Dairy- 

 maid. Daffodil was bred by the Duke of Beaufort and 

 was entered in 1818, while Dairymaid was entered in 

 1825, being by the Duke of Beaufort's Dorimont out of 

 the Warwickshire Barmaid. 



Such were the principal elements of the pack as Mr. Fellowes' 

 established by Mr. Newton Fellows in 1827. His triesT^°*^°' 

 entry for the following year consisted of nine and a 

 half couples. Rocket, by the Duke of Beaufort's Hermit 

 out of Rumsey, entered in 1824, being the sire of 

 three and a half couples. In the list for 1829, which 

 consists of twelve and a half couples, the same hound 

 appears as the sire of five couples. He also appears 

 in the lists for 1830 and 1831 ; in the first as the sire 

 of three couples, and in the second as the sire of two 

 and a half couples. As he appears as the sire of four 

 couples in the original list of 1S27, it will be seen 

 that he was an important member of the pack. In 

 Mr. Fellowes' list for 1828, he does not appear to have 

 used any other kennel for breeding purposes, but in 

 that of the next year there appears three sires from 

 the Duke of Beaufort's : — his Boxer and Rubens, 

 who also appear in his first list, and his Vanguard. 

 To these three are to be attributed five couples. In 

 Mr. Russell's list for the next year (1830), Rubens 

 and Vanguard also appear, the former as the sire of 

 Remnant, out of the Duke's Waspish, and the latter
