Some years afterwards tliey were amalgamated 

 with tlie Askrigg Harriers, and were called tlie 

 Wensleydale Hoimds, a snbscription pack, with 

 the late John Chapman as Master, who was 

 supported by the following well-known Dalesmen : 



George Robinson, Esq. 

 Henry Robinson, Esq. 

 William Purchas, Esq. 

 William Lodge, Esq. 

 John Clarkson, Esq. 

 Richard Winn, Esq. 

 Christopher Other, Esq. 



Mr. Chapman crossed the hounds with a 

 l)reed of old Lancashire hounds, which w^ere much 

 lieavier, with good deep mouths. I remember 

 several of them, they were principally tan, or 

 Hack and tan. Some little time after he bought 

 a black and white hound at Kendal, in West- 

 moreland, called "Lifter," a capital foxhound, 

 ^ery fast, with a good tongue, in fact Mr. 

 •Chapman would not have anything but hounds 

 with good voices. His chief aim was nose, 

 pace and music, especially the latter.
