SEASON 1894-95 



277 



March this season was one of the wettest and 

 dirtiest months on record. Melton, as usual, was 

 very full for the wind up and the Leicestershire 

 chases. Amongst those who had house parties for 

 the occasion were Prince and Princess Henry of 

 Pless, the Duke of Marlborough, Mr. and Mrs. 

 W. Lawson, Captain and Mrs. Burns Hartopp, 

 Mr. and Mrs. de Winton, Mr. and Lady Augusta 

 Fane, Colonel and Mrs. Baldock, Mr. and Mrs. 

 Alfred Brocklehurst. At Croxton Park chases, 

 Gillard was the only one of the hunt staff off the 

 sick list able to keep the course and wear a tall hat. 



The season, which finished on April 23rd, was a 

 short one of 87 days, and 98 foxes were killed ; 48 

 marked to ground.
