In 185 1, the year succeeding Sunder- cup Puppies, 

 land and Foreman (who were beaten for 

 the Cup by Dorimont by Drake's Duster), Bobadil by 

 Bobadil from Favourite, and Freeman by Sportsman 

 from Friendly, were esteemed remarkable entries ; 

 but Rutland and Trumpeter were bracketed for the 

 Cup. Rutland was nearly twenty-six inches, and one

 land's dam, and by Belvoir Royal, who had been 

 sojourning at Mr. Drake's, after being exchanged for 

 Duster, and then went on to Wynnstay. Belvoir

 was as straight as an arrow himself, but got his stock 

 rather crooked. Both of them came in the evening of 

 their days to the North Staffordshire kennels, and 

 were there put away.

 Grasper descent. He was somewhat throaty, and was 

 bred from rather for his qualities than his look ; as 

 he always ran to head and could sound his own trum- 

 pet into the bargain, whatever pace they were going. 

 Lord Dacre used his sire, the Puckeridge Trickster, 

 who pleased Dick Simpson not a little, as he would 

 draw on ahead, and get to the wind side of him, and 

 speak minutes before anything else. Sylvia, from a
