HUNT CRICKET MATCHKS. I95 



to live in Essex, first at Tumours, near Chigwell, and 

 afterwards at Theydon Grove, Epping. 



Wliilst livinq- in Essex, Mr. C. E. Green has arranged 

 nianv Hunt cricket matches, in which he has often taken 

 part. In July, 1883, at Moor Hall, Harlow (then the 

 residence of Mrs. Perry Watlington), in a hard-tought 

 match between the Essex and Puckeridee Hunts, his score 

 of thirty-tour, coupled with an unexpected ciisplay of bat- 

 ting by Bailey (the Essex huntsman), in company with 

 Mr. R. B. Colvin, gave the victory to the P^ssex team. In 

 the following year, when the two Plunts again played at 

 Moor Hall, Mr. Green scored fifty-five in a match which 

 was drawn, but decidedly in favour of P^sscx. During his 

 mastership Mr. Green played cricket for the Hunt at 

 Beech Hill Park and Leaden Roding ; while Bailey, 

 animated by the master's example, scored further successes 

 as a cricketer. 



When Mr. Green undertook the mastership of the 

 Essex Hounds he had no previous experience of such a 

 position, nor was he united with Esse.x by the tie of landed 

 property in the county ; but his remarkable tact and good 

 fellowship, combined with his experience as a leader of men 

 in the cricket field, his ardent love for foxhunting and 

 lavish generosity, were high qualifications for his new office.
