254 THE BROCKLESBY HOUNDS. [1790 



Redrose in 1790 included the great Ranter. Dover, who 

 was originally registered Dexter, was by Driver out of 

 Whimsey, Driver being by Charger out of Airy, and 

 Whimsey by Tartar out of Singwell, the former being a 

 son of Luther, and the latter a daughter of Lord Fitz- 

 William's Ranger and Molly, who, through Truelove, goes 

 l)ack to Lord Granby's Vonter. Dover sired litters in 

 each of the next four years, but was not used as exten- 

 sively as was Ringwood and his own sou Ranter. One of 

 the best strains in the Badminton kennels comes from 

 Ranter, for the celebrated bitch Gladsome, entered by 

 Philip Payne in 1811, goes back through Royster and 

 Vernon's Ranter to him ; and thus it was that Mr. 

 Codrington used to declare that his Colliers had the rarest 

 blood in England in their veins. Lord Fitzwilliam's 

 Captain and Dexter, Lord Monson's Conqueror, and the 

 Duke of Grafton's Bellman were used in 1790, Conqueror 

 and another hound from the same kennels, Tartar, as well 

 as Mr. Wrightson's Wonder, being also used the following 

 year.

Will Smith speaks of Ranter as follows : "A very 

 famous hound stallion. His blood has always been 

 considered as stout, or stouter, than any other in England, 

 particularly by Mr. Meynell and J. Evans, of Burton." 



Then came Mr. Wrightson's Banger, Lord Monson's 

 AVarrior, Trouncer, and Masher, Lord Fitzwilliam's Hedger
