1836] THE HOUNDS. 265 



Shirley, Sir Richard Sutton's huntsmau, who liked him ; 

 but Foster, Mr. Foljambe's huntsman, crabbed him un- 

 mercifully. He was by Carnival out of Tulip, Carnival 

 being by Sir Eichard Sutton's Chorister out of Felony, a 

 daughter of Lord Fitzwilliam's Fairplay, and Tulip, by 

 Sir Richard Sutton's Cerberus out of Tigress, who was by 

 Sir Bellingham Graham's Ravager. Mr. Osbaldeston's 

 Vanquisher, who was by old Furrier out of Vengeful, was 

 used in 1836, as was Mr. Foljambe's Clasher, by the 

 Belvoir Chanter out of Frolic, and his Abelard, who being 

 by Belvoir Comus out of Abigail, goes back on his sire's 

 side to Fleecer, who was brother to Fallacy, the dam of 

 Mr. Osbaldeston's Furrier. 



A very useful hound called Plunder was put forward 

 this year, and he afterwards proved of great service in the 

 Heythrop kennels, where Jem Hills used him to correct 

 the short head and neck and wide chest of the Dorimont 

 and Nectar blood. Ganymede, who was used in 1836 both 

 at Brocklesby and Milton, was the sire of the latter's 

 Goldfinch, whose son Hermit by Hector made a great 

 name for himself at Badminton. A Badminton hound 

 much used at Milton, Feudal by name, was a grandson of 

 Brocklesby Bluecap. 



In 1837 Lord Yarborough exchanged Filigree, a 

 beautiful bitch, and Harriet for Sir Richard Sutton's 

 AVildair, who was by his Woldsman out of Mr. Osbalde- 

 ston's Filigree, a daughter of old Furrier. Wildair sired 

 one litter of puppies at Brocklesby, and Sir Richard's 

 Chanticleer was also used. He was by Mr. Osbaldeston's 

 Vaulter out of Charming, both of which Sir Richard had 

 obtained from Lord Middleton, who in turn had purchased 

 them with Mr. Muster's hounds. 



Smith lost nine couples of puppies by distemper this 

 year. 



Will Smith sent a very useful hound to Will Danby at 

 the York and Ainsty this year, in Trimbush, by Bads worth 

 Tickler out of Virgin, one of the Osbaldeston's Vanquisher 

 stock. The "Druid" says —
