1880] COLONEL HENEY C. NORRIS. 47 



l)iit now resides at Moreton Morivll. He is very loud of 

 hinitiiii;', and rides well, i^'oing very straii>'lit, and n'ettiiii;' a 

 lot of fun out of a siuall stud. Mrs. OsLorne is now a 

 regular ha/jilHr of the hunt, and rides a veiy good I)ay 

 horse. Captain Oshorne won the Pytchley " point-to- 

 point" race some years ago. We give a sketeh of the 

 gallant captain, when his figure was a little more exact, 

 engaged in reconnoitring duty. 



Mr. Cecil Boyle, who hunted for many years tVom 

 Banbury, is a very loval su])p()rter of the Warwickshii-e 

 hounds, and a dauntless rider. It may truly he said of 

 him that he does not know what fear is. We have often 

 seen him ride for a certain fall in order to get into the 

 same field with the hounds. He was formerly a famous 

 fast bowler of the Oxford eleven. 



Mr. J. P. Arkwright, of Hatton (" Johnny "), is 

 another well-known horseman in the Midlands both over a 

 country and between the flags. He is a worthy successor 

 of an honoured father, who is still, we are thankful to say, 

 "■oin"- to hounds. He will be with them, and it seems to 

 matter very little to him whether his mount cost 'M)()/. or 

 'M)/. When once between " Johnny's " knees he has to go. 

 He is now joint luaster of the North Warwickshire with 

 Lord Algernon Pei-cy. 



Captain liiddell is moiv strictly a Pytchley man, but he 

 often hunts at Hhuckburgh, and when anything good turns 

 up, Puggy Riddell is always well to the fore. On one 

 unfortunate occasion, mentioned in this book, he was not in 

 his usual place. 



Captain Pennell Elmhirst, so well known as " Prooksby," 

 is a very fine rider and determined horseman. No one has 

 a better knowledge of the East side of the Warwickshire 

 country, of which he WTote an admiralde descri])tion in the 

 7'7(" A/ amongst his manv accounts of goo<l runs, with which 

 he still d'.'lio-hts so nianv readers both at home and 

 al)i'oad. 



Major (now Colonel) Henry C. Norris, of Swalcliffe Park, 

 late of the Sth Hussars, resided for some years at Chalcombe,
