Sale of Lord Stamford's Hunting Stud.

The sale of the Earl of Stamford and Warrington's
hunting stud, consequent on his lordship having resigned
the mastership of the Quorn hounds, took place on Satur•
day at the kennels, Quordon. There were 80 lots, exclusive
of Lord Stanford's brace of favourite,,, Bradgate (now white
with age) and the foxhound Albert, who will never be
parted with. The special trains brought in a large number
of persons of high rank from various parts of the country.
Of the foxhounds Colonel Clewes has taken the greater part
of the original pack, the remainder being bought its by Sir
Watkin W. Wynn, Bart. The sale was to have taken
place in the gra,s-yard adjoining the kennels, where a
gallery was erected for the accommodation of visitors; but,
in consequence of the large number of persons present, it
was found insufficient, and an enclosure, octagonal in form,
was made in the paddock adjoining. The sale commenced
shortly after 12 o'clock Messrs. Tattersall presiding.
Amongst the company on the ground were the Earl and
Countess of Stamford and Warrington, Count Batthyany,
Sir J. C. Fowke, Bart., Sir R. Clifton, Lord Macclesfield,
Lord H. Bentinck, the Marquis of Hastings, Lord Reimers,
Colonel Marriott, Colonel hood, Equerry to his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales; Colonel Clewes, Duke of
Buccleuch, Lord Middleton, Captain Duncombe, Lord
nacre, Sir F. Johnstone, Lord A. St. Maur, Viscount In-
gestre, &c. After Mr. Tattersall had commented on the
fine stud to be presented, and intimated that it was the in-
tention of the E ,r 1 of Stamford to continue to subscribe
largely to the Quorn Hunt, notwithstanding that he had
resigned the mastership, the sale of tho different animals
was proceeded wiih. The fine appearance of the horses
elicited general admiration, and the bidding was throughou
very spirited. Colonel Hood, acting for his Royal High..
nese the Prince of Wales, purchased Bentinck and Right
Man, the former for 500, and the latter for 310 gumeae•
The Earl of Dudley gave 400 tor Po, ester, and Lord Henry
Bentinck the same amount for Phamix, both capital hun-
ters Rocket was purchased by he Marquis of Hastings
for 480 gutneas, and Charmwood was knocked down to the
same nobleman at the price of 460 guineas. Lord Middle-
ton gave 310 guin,as for Sultan, and Sir F. Johnstone be-
came the owner of Skylark for 310 guineas. Lord Stain-
flrd's once favourite hunter Trumpeter had a reserve of
600 out upon him, and no offer in advance of that sum
having been made, he was returned to his stable. The
whole 80 lots realised 16,846 guineas, being an average of
187 guineas each horse.
