296 THE WAEWICKSHIEE HUNT. [1895 



In October, King Khama of Bechiianaland had a day's 

 hunting with Lord Gralway's hounds. He was an object 

 of much interest to those ladies and gentlemen who 

 happened to be out. He was mounted by his host, 

 Mr. Franklin, M.P., and seems to have thoroughly enjoyed 

 his day. I believe that Khama is a great " shikari " in 

 his own country. — W. E. Y. 



We take this opportunity of mentioning the Eev. 

 Edward Miller, the father of the Rev. George Miller, of 

 Eadway, who hunted regularly for some years. Though 

 not mentioned in the Old Book, Mr. Edward Miller was a 

 very fine horseman, and rode many young horses for the 

 sportsmen of that day. 



Colonel Arnold, of Adlestrop Hall, is mentioned several 

 times in the book. Though he resides in the Heythrop 

 country, he is a very faithful supporter of the Warwickshire 

 hounds, and seldom misses a Tuesday. His daughter, 

 who married Mr. Arthur Dugdale, son of Mr. Dugdale, of 

 Sezincote, is a very fine horsewoman, and few travel 

 quicker over the Vale than her husband. Colonel Arnold 

 is equally at home on a Scotch hill, and thoroughly under- 

 stands the theory and science of deerstalking, is a brilliant 

 shot, and a capital host. His Militia Regiment, " the 

 Lancashire Artillery," is second to none. 



Mr. Arthur E. Thursby, who resides and farms at 

 Priors Hardwick, where his hospitable house is always 

 open for the tired and belated sportsman and his weary 

 steed, is a nice rider, and thoroughly enjoys foxhunting. 

 He mamed Miss Maude Cartwright, daughter of Colonel 

 Cartwright, of Eydon, who represented Northamptonshire 

 in Parliament for several years. The Thursbys are all 

 sportsmen, and his father, Mr. Arthur H. Thursby, who 

 lived for many years at Wormleighton, nearly won a very 

 exciting point-to-pomt race in 1858 or 1859, for a 50/. cup, 

 given by Mr. Campbell, of Monzie. The race w^as for 

 farmers riding their own horses, and was run over about 

 four miles of country, starting from Hodnell Hill, over the 

 Vale into Wormleighton field, leaving the two barns on the
