a silver horn* and a purse of 230/. in recognition of his 

 indefatigable exertions to show sj^ort for eight seasons, 

 during which he had hunted "the Warwickshire hounds." 

 The money was presented in a purple velvet purse, 

 beautifully embroidered by Lady Willoughby de Broke. 

 The presentation was made by Lord Camperdown at a 

 dinner at the White Lion Hotel, Banbury, over which his 

 lordship presided.

* I suggested an inscription for the horn from Sir W. Scott's " Ivanhoe," but it 

 was not put on. " I can well of woodcraft, and can wind a horn clear and lustily, 

 and holloa till every oak rings again." — AV. R. V.
