1893] MR. HENRY EVERARD. 253 



And bis tlieii coiiteinporaries were the old earl, Sir Richard Sutton, 

 Mr. Clowes, Lord Gardiner— who was a great friend ; so was Mr. Gilmour j 

 and that beautiful horseman Sir Thomas Whicbeoto was his bosom 

 companion. From Langton Hall he bunted with th(3 Pytchloy and 

 Mr. Tailby. In 1864 he camo to Ladbroke Hall, the seat of Mr. C. A. 

 Palmor-Morewood, and hunted with the Warwickshire and the Pytchloy on a 

 Wednesday, throAving in an occasional day with the Bicester and Atherstone. 

 He was a man of sound judgment, strong will, and so perhaps strong 

 prejudices ; true to his friends, and liberal to the deserving poor. He was a 

 man who hated shams and falsities, but loved and delighted in all that was 

 noble and true ; one whoso memory is a goldeu link between the past and 

 present generations of sportsmen. He followed hounds forty-one seasons. 

 Often since he resided in Leamington, where ho wont when he left Ladbroke, 

 on returning from the Wednesday Pytcliley days, when riding over the 

 Homplow Hills towards Rugby, he would point out the lino of some 

 historical run, and toll the incidents of the chase concerning- some of his 

 friends who had then joined the majority. Peace to our good old friend. 



Lord Willougliby de Broke's diary : 



December l'2th. — Found three times in Oxhill Covert, but did not have any 

 sport. 



December Ibth, Wroxton Abbey. — Found in tlie gardens, ran towards 

 Claydon Hill, but turned to the loft and went l)etweon North Nowing-ton and 

 Broughton, and went on, leaving Withycomljo on the left, nearly to Banbury; 

 crossed the road, and ran by Chamlierlain's Gorse and down the Yale, 

 crossing the brook three or four times. The houiuls, however, ran on without 

 checking, and killed just above Angel's Piece, after rather a good forty-five 

 minutes. Found a good fox on Burton Hills, who took us over both railways 

 and on towards Ladbroke, but we had to give in near Watergall Farm.
