entered in 1858, by his Falstcitf— his Teiltaie ; Contest, 

 entered in 1857, by Lord H. Bentinck's Contest — the 

 Duke's Mischief ; and Archer, entered in 1858, by his 

 Abercorn — his Pensive. Three couple of hounds are 

 attributable to Lord Southampton's, two couple to *' the 

 Duke's," and two couple to ** the Cheshire " who are only 

 only represented by one hound, Rockwood, by the 

 Brocklesby Kockwood^-the Cheshire Costly. The dams 

 are all of the home kennel. The Saffron blood is found 

 among them in Sportly, who, entered in 1859, claimed 

 Saffron as her sire out of Ruthful. 



Champion appears in the list of entries for 1863, 1863. 

 being sire to two and a half couple. Forester also 

 appears, being sire to one couple and a half. Saffron II. 

 and Wellington are also met with, the former with one 

 couple and the other with a single hound. The only 

 fresh stud sire is, therefore. Bouncer, who was entered in 

 1860 and was by the Duke of Beaufort's Banker — 

 Rapture. He is sire to a couple and a half. Lord fl. 

 Bentinck's Stormer, Mr. J. Baker's Chieftain, Sir 

 W. W. Wynn's Nelson, the Duke of Beaufort's Harle- 

 quin, Lord Portsmouth's Lancaster, and Lord Fitz- 

 harding's Ottoman are the sires from other kennels. 

 Mr. J. Baker's Dewdrop, and Sir W. W. Wynn's 

 Mistletoe are the only dams from other kennels. The 

 Saffron blood comes in among the dams in Songstress 

 and Singwell, before referred to. 



In the list of entries for 1864 Wellington and Lexicon, i864 

 of the home kennels, are the principal eires, as to the 

 former of these four couples and to the latter three 

 couples are to be attributed out of a total of fourteen 

 couples. Their entries, therefore, consitute half of the 

 complete list. With the parentage rf Wellington I 

 have already dealt. Lexicon was entered in 1861, and 

 was by the Belvior Lexicon out of Warwickshire 

 Winifred. From Winifred he got the Saffron blood, 

 as she was entered in 1857 by Saffron out of Wood- 

 bine. The Saffron blood also appears in Saffron II.,
