1844] THE HOUNDS. 273 



responsible for hounds in the 1844 entry, and Her 

 Majesty's Satellite, Lord Lonsdale's Senator, and Lord 

 Dacre's Hector were also used. Satellite was also used 

 the next year, as were the Duke of Buccleuch's Sailor, Mr. 

 Meynell's Edgar, Lord Harewood's Jovial, and Lord Fitz- 

 william's Koman. Basilisk sired one hound in the entry, 

 and the following year (which saw the first of Eally wood's 

 stock entered to fox-hunting) also saw some of his stock 

 in the field. Lord Fitzwilliam's Roman sired four and a 

 half couples of this entry, and was the only sire used from 

 other kennels. 



Rallywood again figured as a sire of some of the 1847 

 entry — the Ranter of 1842 sired a couple, and there was 

 a fine litter of two and a half couples by Basilisk out 

 of Rosebud, the parents of the great Rallywood. Lord 

 Henry Bentinck's Foiler and Comus, and Mr. Foljambe's 

 Royal, were also represented. Ruler, who was first used 

 in 1846, was a great stud hound in his time. He was 

 bred by Mr. Foljambe, being by his Albion out of his 

 Rosamond, was a rich yellow pie in colour, and the pick 

 of the entry. 



Flasher, a son of the Druid of 1834, and Rallywood 

 divided the entry of 1848, Contest and Mr. Foljambe's 

 Albion being the- only other sires, the former siring one 

 and the latter two couples ; Flasher and Rallywood were 

 again the chief sires in 1849, though Lord Fitzwilliam's 

 Hermit and Lord Bentinck's Tomboy were also represented. 

 Ruler, above mentioned, and Rallywood were responsible 

 for most of the 1850 entry, the Belvoir Falstafi* being 

 the only foreign sire ; and the following year Rallywood 

 had no fewer than six couples entered, the Ranter of 1842 

 having one solitary representative, while Mr. Foljambe's 

 Render and Foiler also sired puppies. Reveller, by 

 Basilisk out of Rosebud, and so a brother to Rallywood, 

 had puppies in the 1852 entry. Lord Henry Bentinck's, 

 Sir Richard Sutton's, and Mr. Foljambe's kennels also 

 providing sires ; Reveller also had stock in the following 

 year, as did Ranter's son Bellman, Lord Fitzwilliam's
