300 THE WARWICKSHIEE HUNT. [1896 



Mordaunt being second. Sir Charles Mordaunt won the 

 Farmers' Eace on Mr. Bawcutt's bay horse. They lingered 

 on for a few years, and then came to an end. 



The Hunt Eace took place for several years afterwards 

 at Stratford ; and was won on one occasion by Lord 

 Willoughby de Broke's Abbess, ridden by the owner. 



Mr. Fane Gladwin resided for some years at Broughton 

 Castle, where he always had a hearty welcome for the 

 Hunt, and generally a fox in the little Osier Bed. He 

 has only recently purchased a property near Cheltenham, 

 where no doubt he will prove as staunch a supporter of the 

 Chase as he was at Broughton. Lord and Lady Algernon 

 Gordon Lennox have now taken the Castle. 



Mr. Algernon Turnor, who is mentioned in a note on 

 page 800, vol. i., took Kineton House for one season from 

 the Dowager Lady Willoughby de Broke. One of us 

 remarked to Mr. Gillard, who came down, as he always 

 does, to judge the puppies at the annual show, that he was 

 a fine rider to hounds. " Yes," said Gillard, " he travels 

 along." 



Mr. William Wood, of Southam, is a very keen 

 sportsman, and enjoys a hunt, though sometimes when 

 riding the little brown mare he was obliged to enter a nolle 

 prosequi, as she frequently took the whole charge of 

 the case. 



We take this opportunity of apologising to those many 

 good sportsmen and sportswomen not mentioned in our 

 book. In a hunting country like Warwickshire the choice 

 is very great, and we have, no doubt, omitted mention of 

 a great number of names of those who might naturally 

 expect to find themselves immortalised in our pages. We 

 can only say that never intentionally have we erred, and 

 that we frankly acknowledge that a work of this kind 

 must, from its very character, be necessarily faulty in this 

 respect. 



We append Saffi'on's (59) pedigree, as supplied by Lord 

 North from Lord Willoughby's stud book and other lists 

 in his possession.
