The Duchesses and Grand Duchesse*. 389 



of Riot is quite a consulting counsel on leash law ; 

 and Lord Lurgan, a fresh-looking, hearty patrician of 

 fifteen seasons' coursing experience, passes a word of 

 good cheer to the Irish Brigade about the black dog's 

 health, and then adjourns upstairs to head the coursing 

 parliament. Cerito, that triple Waterloo Cup win-

and they averaged 92/. 13^. ^d. Sir Curtis Lampson gave 165 guineas 

 for Waterloo 2Oth, and Mr. E. Bowly 130 guineas for the Waterloo 

 bull Charger. In 1862 the herd was sold to Mr. Atherton, who soon 

 after parted with the Grand Duchesses (nine cows and four bulls), to 

 Mr. Hegan, of Dawpool, by private contract, and sold off the Cherries, 

 the Fenellas (from Booth's Fame) and the Grand Duke bulls. Mr. 

 Hegan paid 5ooo/. for his lot, and three cows were barren. He died in 

 1865, and his herd was brought to the hammer at Willis's Rooms, where 

 Mr. Strafford gave a splendid lunch to his friends and supporters. The 

 12 females were in four lots, and were all purchased by Mr. Betts, 

 whose herd was sold off in 1867.
