196 THE ESSEX FOXHOUNDS. 



Amongst Mr. C. E. Green's numerous supporters none 

 was firmer than his cousin and partner in business, Mr. 

 Frederick Green, who has constantly joined in the sport of 

 various Essex packs ever since, in 1877 (shortly after 

 coming" to live in the county), he was alone with the Essex 

 Union Hounds when they ran into their fox after a run of 

 more than an hour from Purleigh Wash. Though his 

 residence at Hainault Lodge is distant from most of the 

 Essex fixtures, no one is better known with the hounds 

 than he, and the family he has entered to foxhunting. 



Intimately associated with the names of Mr. C. E. 

 Green and Mr. Frederick Green is that of Mr. Roland 

 Yorke Bevan, the vatcs sacer and present joint Secre- 

 tary, with Mr. Tyndale White, of the Essex Hunt. Mr. 

 R. Y. Bevan comes of a good hunting stock, being a son 

 of the late Mr. R. C. L. Bevan and Lady Agneta Bevan 

 {iide Yorke). Mr. R. C. L. Bevan and his brother, Mr. 

 Richard Lee Bevan, lived in their boyhood at Walthamstow, 

 and the first time that they attempted to jump timber was 

 when aged respectively nine and seven, their father brought 

 them over to Harlow, where he went to shoot on land 

 occupied by one of the Stallibrass family. Mr. R. C. L. 

 Bevan jumped his pony successfully over a gate, but Mr. R. 

 L. Bevan could not induce his diminutive steed to follow.
