| ENGLISH SCHOOL, EARLY 19th CENTURY OBELISK, TO THE MEMORY OF OLD BLUE CAP, A FOXHOUND, THE LATE PROPERTY OF THE HONBLE. JOHN SMITH BARRY (AT SANDIWAY, CHESHIRE) Inscribed on the right and on the left with a transcription of the dedication, watercolour with pen and ink 31 x 44cm. * The Bluecap Memorial stands in the yard of the Cheshire Hunt Kennels in Kennel Lane, Cuddington, Cheshire. Bluecap (or Blue Cap) was a foxhound owned by John Smith-Barry, son of the 4th Earl of Barrymore, and was a key member of the first pack of foxhounds in Cheshire. Bluecap earned distinction in 1763 for beating Hugo Meynell's hounds of the Quorn Hunt over a four mile race at Newmarket. For surpassing Meynell's keenly fancied pair so easily, Bluebell became a legend in northwest England and died at the age of 13 in 1772. Smith-Barry arranged for the memorial to be constructed and it was initially erected at Speedwell Hill before being moved to its current site in the yard of the Cheshire Hunt Kennels in 1959. The 2-metre high buff and pink sandstone memorial was designated a Grade II listed building in 1986. The designer is not recorded. ++ Some old breakages and tears, some retouched with Chinese white; some foxing and a little rubbed £150-200 |

Like his father before him, Barry married three times (the Hon Elizabeth Boyle, Lady Elizabeth Savage and then Lady Anne Chichester) and he fathered ten children. He served as Lieutenant Colonel under William of Orange before succeeding to the Earldom in 1699 (Laurence Barry, the 3rd Earl, had died without issue). He was promoted Colonel of the 13th Foot in 1702 and eventually gained the rank of Lieutenant-General in 1710/11. He was MP for Stockbridge in Hampshire between 1710 and 1715 before moving north to take the Wigan seat for twelve years from 1715 and again from 1734 to 1747.

| ROBERT RICHARD SCANLAN (1801-1876) PORTRAITS OF JOHN SMITH-BARRY (1793-1827); and HIS WIFE, ELIZA (nee COURTENAY) (d.1828) Each standing full length on the Fota estate, he wearing a beige coat and buff trousers, holding a top hat and cane, a dog at his side, his yacht 'Columbine' moored in the distance; she wearing a fur-trimmed red coat, a fur muff and black hat trimmed with ostrich feathers, watercolour and pencil Each 34 x 26cm. (2) * John Smith-Barry was the son of James Hugh Smith-Barry (b.1748). He married Eliza Mary Courtenay, daughter of Robert Courtenay of Co. Cork, on 21 April 1814. She bore him five children in seven years but died young. Smith-Barry married for a second time in September 1835, to Mary Felicia Heron. Having changed his name in 1821 so that he could bear the Smith-Barry arms, he settled at Fota but also lived at Marbury Hall in Cheshire (where his father was formerly High Sheriff). On the family tree, Smith-Barry is given the epithet of 'The Magnificent', probably on account of his transformation of the Fota estate although he had a terrific reputation for hospitality and high living. He was described by Robert Graham in 1835 as 'the richest man in the district [and] who has a magnificent domain.' He died on 24 February 1837 and although his son, James Hugh (1816-1856), inherited Fota and established the fine arboretum he lived principally at Marbury. ++ Each a little pale. £800-1200 |

| JOHN CORDREY (1765-1825) PHENOMENA, THE CELEBRATED TROTTING MARE, WITH JOCKEY UP, ON THE ROAD TO CAMBRIDGE NEAR FENNEY STANTON Signed and dated 1811, inscribed with horse's name (..HENONIMA), oil on canvas 34 x 42.5cm. * The famous mare, bred by Sir Edward Astley, Bt., at Melton Constable in Norfolk, was foaled in 1783. She won a remarkable succession of bets, based upon her stamina in trotting great distances over a set time. In July 1801, she trotted 17 miles in just 56 minutes on the Cambridge to Huntingdon road. Such was the astonishment at the ease with which she completed this feat that her owner, Joseph Robson, was persuaded to run her again a month later and the horse promptly trimmed a further three minutes off her previous time. She was later to increase this distance to 19 miles in the hour and Mr Robson wagered that she was capable of doing a further half mile in the sixty minutes. Having already proved that she could trot four miles in under eleven minutes, no bets were placed. Poor Phenomena became so exhausted by these relentless exertions that she was traded to Mr Boswell for just seven pounds in 1810. In 1811, aged twenty three, Phenomena nonetheless managed to trot nine miles in just over 28 minutes. It took the skills and cares of Sir R. C. Daniel to restore Phenomena to good health and she proved once more to be 'fresh and clean on her legs' well into old age. ++ Lined; some retouching £1500-2000 |
