whom sprang the celebrated Yarborough Druid. Jason 

 by Genial from Duchess was an old stager when Tom 

 Sebright came, and it was of Genial (who had been 

 killed by a kick from a horse just before), that Lord 

 Lonsdale said, he was the best constitutioned and 

 stoutest hound he ever used. 



Milton Stud His lordship had also a great many 

 Hounds. of the Monarch sort. He was by Yar- 

 borough's Fairplay from his Vanity, and was entered 

 in 1826, and Tom still loves to tell how he went right 

 away from the body of the hounds near Weston Grove 

 in a great run from Elton's New Closes. The yellow 

 pied Marmion was a son of his, and got his stock with

 Lord Ducie's Marplot, who made that celebrated 

 jump over the pommel of Lord Portman's saddle, as 

 he stooped to open a gate, did not belong to it, but 

 was of Fitzhardinge blood. 



The Shiners have always been very celebrated at 

 Milton. He dates about 1824, and was by the Scar-
