118 THE WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. [1884 



communication from Major Chambers, R.H.A., who writes 

 that unfortunately he sent his hunter home before the run, 

 that he thought Sir Charles Mordaunt was fortunate in 

 not changing horses sooner, and that as he came on along 

 the line he was much struck with the distinctness with which 

 it was marked, a man and a beaten horse being in almost 

 every field. He passed Lord Willoughby's dead horse, and 

 found Charlie Lowman (second whip) standing on a hill, 

 who said, " I have got this horse up this hill, and now I 

 can't get him down ; I think he's going to die, and what 

 is worse, he belongs to Squire Lucy." Charlie also said, 

 " Groodness knows where they are now, they were running 

 as hard as ever towards Chesterton, and there will be 

 nobody left at all with them if they don't stop." It must 

 have been Jack who found old Brocklesby and Squire 

 Lucy's groom, for he was the horse Lord Willoughby 

 finished on. Major Chambers goes on to say that riding 

 on towards Chesterton he came on Willie Low " trpng to 

 pour something out of a flask down Ids horse s throat," 

 and in the next field Henry Allfrey sitting on a gate 

 looking at his horse " dead beat." At Chesterton he went 

 home, and met the late H. T. Caine, who had come down 

 from town, and was looking for the hounds. Major 

 Chambers adds that, after the great run with the York 

 and Ainsty of December .2 3rd, 1893, he rode up to Mr. 

 Lycett Grreen, congratulatmg him, and remarking that it 

 was probably the finest run he or anyone else out that day 

 had ever seen, and that he is bound to say that though 

 Mr. Green had hunted the hounds himself, and killed his 

 fox handsomely in the open, his reply was at once : " The 

 second best, that run we talked of with the Warwickshu'e 

 in 1884 was a greater run." — W. E. Y. 



Mrs. Paulet, then Miss Clerk, went very well for the 

 fii'st hour till she was hung up in a gate, and had to 

 stop.
