252 THE BROCKLESBY HOUNDS. [177G 



Driver, Wonder, Tuner, and Trojan among others, Mr. 

 Meyn ell's Grappler was extensively used in 1776, as was 

 his Ganymede, by Glider out of Garland, a daughter of 

 Grappler, in 1780, evidently a favourite strain of blood. 

 Lord Fitzwilliam's Ranger was by Lord Spencer's Royster 

 out of Trifle, Koyster being by Mr. Noel's Pillager, and 

 Trifle by Lord Thanet's Tarquin out of Angry. 



Then followed, in 1781, Mr. Noel's Collier (1775), by 

 Captain out of Jewel, a sister to Jupiter, Captain being 

 by Lord Townsend's Clinker out of Nancy ; Mr. Noel's 

 Cryer (1771), by Lord Granby's Royal— a son of Mr. 

 Meynell's Royal out of Rally, by Rebel out of Barbara ; 

 and Mr. Noel's Bloomer (1773), by Bacchus out of Cruel ; 

 she by Lord Townsend's Clinker out of Diamond, and 

 Bacchus, by Tarquin out of Brilliant. Lord Monson's 

 Broker was used in 1782, and a glance at his and the 

 pedigrees of hounds from other kennels used about that 

 time will show how it was one or two particular strains 

 of blood were sought after, notably Mr. Meynell's Glider 

 and Grappler blood. Broker was by Lord Fitzwilliam's 

 Boxer out of Gaily, Gaily being by Mr. Meynell's Glider 

 out of Lord Ludlow's Beauty, and she by Turpin out of 

 Buxom. Turpin was by Mr. Askham's Sparkler out of 

 Lord Townsend's Tawny. 



Another of Mr. Noel's hounds was used the same year, 

 Tracer, by Bouncer out of Veney, Veney being by 

 Dolphin out of Venus, and Bouncer by Bedlam — a son of 

 Bluster— out of Rose. Cryer (1779), Dashwood (1780), 

 and Tartar (1776) were the chief home-bred sires about 

 this time. Lord Monson's Regal, Victor, and Hymen 

 were used in 1785, as well as Lord Egremont's Jasper. 

 Lord Egremont hunted a pack of hounds from Petworth, 

 about sixteen miles from Goodwood. Lord Monson's 

 Regal was also extensively used the following year, also 

 his Bellman, and the Duke of Grafton's Voucher, who 

 sired one litter that year and five in 1787. Mr. Meynell's 

 Gayman was responsible for four litters in 1787. 



Home-bred sires were chiefly used in 1788, in which
