2]0 THE WARWICKSHIEE HUNT. [1890 



and Paul Jones, by Buccaneer, bred by the late Mr. 

 Spencer Lucy, was a very fast and brilliant hunter till lie 

 went wrong in liis wind. 



Mr. E. H. Milne, of Leamington, was a well-known 

 figure in tlie Warwickshire field. For some years he was 

 master of an excellent pack of harriers in Berkshire. He 

 understood hunting well, and rode good horses. 



His son, Mr. R. O. Milne, is good at all sports and 

 games, but gives foxhunting the first place in his 

 affections. He has become a very distinguished amateur 

 photographer, and our book is much indebted to his skill 

 and patience. 



Mr. C. H. Jolliffe, of Goldicote House, since he more or 

 less relinquished steeplechasing, has developed into one of 

 the finest 14st. men that ever crossed Warwickshire. He 

 rides good horses, and is always in a good place. 



Lord Willoughby de Broke's diary : 



November ISth, Long Itchington. — Found at Debdale, where there were 

 several foxes, got away with one, and ran towards Birdmglmry Wliarf , turned 

 to the riglit, and ran, heaving Leamington Hastings on tlio right, nearly down 

 to the Leani ; ran all along the side of the Leani, ])ast Kites Hardwick, 

 crossed the Leani near Bunker's Hill, and ran to ground in that covert after a 

 good forty minutes. 



Novemher )14th, Neivbold Pacey. — Found at Oakley Wood, ran well, 

 leaving Highdown on the left, and l)y Chesterton Mill Pool to Checkley's 

 Brake, and killed after running forty minutes. Found again at Itchington 

 Holt, ran towards Harbury, but turned to the right, and ran down the hill, 

 and away as if for Watergall, but tlie fox turned lieforo reaching the railway, 

 and ran a ring down the Vale, and was killed in the open between Bishops 

 Itchington and Kiughtcote, after a very good run of fifty-five minutes 

 without a check. 



From Sir C. Mordaunt's diary : 



On December Mli the meet was at Long Itchington, and the field was of 

 uiuisual size. Before a fox was found the master's second horseman counted 

 500 i^ass through a gate.* Found at Ladbroke, and ran fast for twenty 

 minutes, during which time there were about twenty loose horses galloping 

 aboiit, and when hounds checked at the canal near Wormleighton not more 

 than twenty horsemen were there. The run afterwards continued at a hunting 

 pace over the Watergall Brook and Great Western Railway nearly to Nunn's 

 Bushes. It is computed there were fifty falls, and one lady walked four miles 

 before finding her horse. 



* I remember being told by Mr. Henry ToUemache, M.P., that he once waited at a 

 bridle gate, when the Cbt-shire hounds were runniug fast, and plenty of men riding to 

 them, and coui.ted 300 horsemen pass through it.— 0. M,
