ON THE FLAGS AND IN THE SHOW RING. 253 



Gamester, an own brother, two years younger, and Falstaff, 

 by Fencer — Whimper. They were also first in the class for 

 entered bitches with Syren, Dainty, by Fencer — Dahlia; 

 Gracious, a litter sister of Gamester, and Wisdom, by Roman 

 — Winifred, and they took second prize with Diver, by 

 Mr. Chaplin's Damper — Ruin, in the class for unentered 

 dog'-hounds. 



They were in good winning vein at Malton in the 

 following year. Nobleman, by Lord Portsmouth's Nobleman 

 — Dulcet, won in the class for unentered dog-hounds ; and in 

 the class for the best two couples of entered dog-hounds 

 they were first with Guider, a litter brother of Gamester and 

 Gracious ; Statesman, a litter brother of Striver ; Singer, by 

 Sailor — Lawless; and Marquis, by Mr. Leigh's Merryman — 

 Streamlet. Statesman and Gamester were first and second 

 in the class for stallion-hounds ; and in the class for two 

 couples of entered bitches they were second with Gracious, 

 Sunbeam, by Sportsman— Wisdom ; Whimsey, by Fugleman 

 —Welcome ; and Magic, a litter sister of Mountebank.

 In the class for unentered bitches they won with Cymbal, 

 by Racer — Chorus, and a litter sister of Chanticleer. The

 Show. The hounds shown by the Bramham were Gimcrack, 

 by Lord Portsmouth's Gainer — Dulcet, Struggler, by Sampson 

 — Gladsome, Marquis, and Dulcimer, by Dashwood — Musical.
