^QQ THE BROCKLESBY HOUNDS. [1838 



" To be in Will's (Danby's) society, and not learn about Trinibush, would be 

 drawing him blank indeed. . . . Will Smith sent him to the Ainsty with a 

 broken arm and a beautiful pedigree of five and twenty years ; but he never 

 greatly distinguished himself till he worked it out about half a mile down a road 

 near Shipton-on-Ouse, which the hares were crossing every instant, while the 

 rest could hardly feather on the grass. Both Mr. Lloyd and Will thought he 

 was taking it too far ; and the former had just said, ' Will ! it's a band on a 

 stallion,' when he ' went through the hedge like a gun,' and killed him soon 

 after. Tom Carter was a great admirer of his, and sent several bitches to him. 

 Some of his grand-daughters, with their long, dark-coloured heads, are still to be 

 found in the Hurworth." 



Sir Richard Sutton's Ringwood, the grandsire of the 

 great Rally wood, was used in 1838, he being by Mr. 

 Osbaldeston's Fencer, who was a son of old Furrier and 

 Chorister's daughter Vicious, and out of Relish, who was 

 by Lord Middleton's Trusty. Rosebud, the dam of Rally- 

 wood, was also whelped this year, she being by Rector 

 out of Frolic. Basilisk, the sire of Rally wood, was by 

 Sir Richard Sutton's Ringwood out of Brajela, who was 

 entered in 1832. 



In 1839 Lord Yarborough decided to reduce the size 

 of his hounds to twenty-three inches, the bitches not to be 

 below twenty-one inches, and in consequence Duncan, 

 Flagrant, Sifter, Prompter, and Vanquisher, who were too 

 big, and Factious, who was too small, were exchanged for 

 three couples of Sir Richard Sutton's. These were : Fear- 

 naught, who was by Belvoir Rocket (a brother to Rasselas, 

 and so a grandson of Brocklesby Woldsman) out of Rosy, 

 who was by Sir Tatton Sykes's Barrister out of Rachel, a 

 daughter of the Duke of Beaufort's Rutland ; Foiler, who 

 w^as ])y Mr. Osbaldeston's Fencer out of Riot, a daughter 

 of Lord Yarborough's Grappler and Lord Middleton's 

 Racket ; Hotspur, by Hector (by Belvoir Hector out of 

 Brocklesby Woodl^ine) out of Darling, by Mr. Muster's 

 Dancer ; Brusher, by Barrister out of Remnant, Remnant 

 ])eing by Brocklesby Reveller out of Frantic, who goes 

 back to Brocklesby Dreadnaught, and Barrister by Mr, 

 Osbaldeston's Sportsman ; Lexicon, a son of Mr. Osbalde- 

 ston's Vanquisher, who was used at Brocklesby, and 

 Lightning, by Sir Tatton Sykes's Lounger, Vanquisher
