1835] SIR WALTER CAREW. 125 



with the pack, and, wishiiiii^ to make himself out something 

 of a sportsman, asked okl lieale the name of a hound. The 

 answer was, " Well, we used to call him Jowler, sir; but 

 now we calls him Jowhv/y." * 



Sir Walter used to u;et in rather a state of mind if his 

 daughters, who rode very hard and well, did not turn up. 

 One day we found a fox at Euddybroke, on the edge of 

 Dartmoor, when ]\lr. Cubitt brought his hounds from 

 Fallapit for a day on the moor, by permission of the late 

 Squire Trelawny. There was such a dense fog that it was 

 not fit to hunt, l)ut the fox took straight o^er the moor for 

 Piles, and we all disappeared in the mist. Someone asked 

 Sir Walter what was the matter. " Matter enough," he 

 answered ; " I have just lost two daughters, a niece, and 

 two nephews, and I shall never see them again." He was 

 a splendid shot, and used often to shoot with the great Sir 

 Eichard Sutton, sometimes using his own percussion guns 

 and Sir Richard's flint and steel alternately, without knowing 

 which was going to be put into his hands. He was 

 also very fond of yachting. — W. E. Y. 



I remember a very old Scotch gillie, who was for 

 some time employed by us, relating that he was with Sir 

 Richard Sutton when he killed a hundred brace of grouse 

 to his ovrj gun on one dav, using a muzzle-loader, which 

 he loaded himself. The gillie characteristically added: "I 

 mind varra weel that Sir Eichard was much troubled 

 because his companion shot his preencipal dog." — C. M.

February 24th, 1835. — Met at Lighthorne this 

 morning, and found at Chesterton, and ran a fox in the 



* In the supplement to the Sporting Magazine, Xovember, 1824, there is rather a 

 good story by " Ximrod." The Hon. Newton Fellowes sent his whipper-in, John 

 Nohle, with some draft hounds to Dr. Troj-te, and amongst them was a hound called 

 Ganymede. Now, in Devonshire, with the provincials the vowel a is sounded soft, and 

 vowel e broad ; so, when the doctor's huntsman heard the name of Ganymede among 

 the draft, and found it was a dog hound, he exclaimed, " Ganymaid ! What! call 



a dog a maid ' What the do you mean by calling a dog a maid ? If it was a 



hitch, there would be some sense in it. It's Gunyhoy to be sure ! " and Ganyboyhe was 

 called ever aft-erwards.
