MR. COLLINS JUMP. 21 7 



(3uk in a lame circle to Barrini'ton Hall. Amonafst the 

 fortunate few who saw hounds find and were able to 

 live with them in this run, special mention is due to Mr. 

 Chaffey Collin. After riding his horse " Cedric " over a 

 brook between Man Wood and White Roding at a place 

 afterwards measured and found to be twenty-four feet in 

 width, he resigned his pride of place to take charge of 

 Bailey's exhausted horse, whilst the huntsman finished the 

 run on "Cedric." On March 17th hounds again ran well 

 towards Epping Forest, finding their fox in Mark Hall 

 Wood, and killing him in the open near Spratt's Hedge 

 Row, on the Copt Hall Estate. 



This year the Essex Hounds were for the first time 

 represented at the Peterborough Hound Show. The result 

 was most successful. Trouncer, bred at the Essex Kennels 

 by the Whaddon Chase Tuner, out of Truelass by the 

 Grafton Dancer, a compact and powerful hound, with 

 forearms like those of a prize-fighter, was adjudged first 

 out of thirteen entries in the Stallion Hound class. We 

 give a portrait of this fine hound, taken from a picture by 

 Mr. Frank Paton.^ Trouncer unfortunately died in the 



' This well-known artist lives at Moreton, near Ongar. The Essex 

 Hunt country has furnished subjects for many of his admirable sporting 

 sketches.
