HISTORY OF THE BRAMHAM MOOR HUNT. 



Duke of Buccleuch's kennel, but I have not been able to 

 trace any hounds by him in the Duke's kennel-books ; and 

 as 1 have already said the Bramham Moor kennel -books only 

 date back to 1841.* In the Duke of Buccleuch's kennel- 

 books the names of Lord Harewood's Benedict, Gilder and 

 Merlin occur as sires, but of them or their pedigree nothing 

 can be learnt. 



The hounds purchased when Mr. Wyndham gave up 

 have been noticed already, but a few of Mr. Lane Fox's 

 early sires may be mentioned, and their pedigrees may be 

 of interest to those who care for that most fascinating 

 of pursuits, — scientific hound-breeding. 



The first hound to be named is Streamer, by Mr. Fol- 

 jambe's Rifler — Lord Henry Bentinck's Airy, a hound that 

 was most likely obtained in a draft, for he figures as a two- 

 year old in Mr. Lane Fox's first hound-list. He was used 

 for several seasons at home, and was also used in the Duke 

 of Buccleuch's kennel. Baronet (1851), by the Duke of 

 Rutland's Prompter — Bonnymaid, by Lord Lonsdale's Limner 

 — Bonnylass, was also a good hound. Another, that was 

 descended from a bitch of Lord Harewood's, was Charon, 

 by Lord Henry Bentinck's Charon — Resolute, by Badsworth 

 Lubin, a famous hound in his day ; her dam. Ringlet, who 

 was bred by Lord Harewood, and was by Benedict — Rosebud. 

 Both these hounds were a good deal used. 



Later on there was a good hound in Grappler (1856), a 

 rare bred one, by the Duke of Rutland's Guider — Susan, by 

 Mr. Foljambe's Streamer ; her dam, Blowzy, a bitch bred 

 by Lord Harewood, by Lord Yarborough's famous hound, 

 Bluecap — Careful. Ronitm, by General (by Ringwood, by 

 Lord Yarborough's Ruler) — Rosamond, by Sir Richard 

 Sutton's Albert, her dam, Rarity, by Mr. Wyndham's 

 Remus — Blowzy, was also a good hound. These were both 



* There is a list of James Lane Fox's liounds in 1808.
