THE WARWICKSHIRE HOUNDS.

and the Brocklesby. The home sires are only three in 

 number. In 1857 Lord Fitzharding's, Mr. Greaves', 

 Mr. Morrell's, Mr. Foljambe's, and the Belvoir, with a 

 bitch from Mr. Whebly's, represent other kennels. 



The first two of Mr. Henley Greaves' trio of lists re- 

 present a change of method, for the names of other 

 kennels are, with a couple of exceptions,' conspicuous 

 by their absence, and the master seems to have seen 

 instead what could be done with the hounds he had at 

 hand. The hounds principally used were Admiral, 

 entered in 1852, by Lord H. Bentinck's Admiral — his 

 Roundelay ; Denmark, entered in 1852, by Mr. Drake's 

 Rufus — his Diligent ; and Gimcrack, entered in 1854, by 

 the Belvoir Guider — the Warwickshire Telltale. In 

 his last (1860), however, he appears to have gone to 

 other kennels, and the names of the Duke of Beau- 

 fort's, Lord Fitzharding's, Lord|Macclesfield's, and Sir 

 W. W. Wynn's appear among the sires. Of the three 

 Warwickshire sires used two of them bear the blood of 

 Lord Fitzharding's, as Ajax, entered in 1853, was by 

 his Farmer — his Arrogant, and Royal, entered in 1855, 

 was by his Mussulman out of Rosy, who was by the 

 Brocklesby Rally wood — Lord H. Bentinck's Ruthless, 

 and was bought by Mr, R. Barnard as a four-year-old 

 in 1853. 



Not a very brilliant chapter this, I am afraid, but in 

 it I have endeavoured to show of what material the pack 

 was composed during the period under view, and to 

 those to whose interest this does not appeal, I hold out a 

 promise of good things in my next, when I come to 

 the time when Mr. Barnard, as Lord Willoughby de 

 Broke, and the Hon. W. H. J. North take command 

 of the affairs of '* the Warwickshire."
