2 20 THE ESSEX FOXHOUNDS. 



After the masters ''Place aux dames." The late Lord 

 Rosslyn cared little for foxhunting and the Easton 

 coverts acquired in his time an unenviable reputation, but 

 the Countess of Warwick inherits from her father, the 

 Hon. Colonel Maynard, a genuine love of horses and 

 hunting, and insists that the preservation of foxes, as well 

 as game, must be attended to by every gamekeeper who 

 enters her service. Whatever can be done is done by the 

 Countess to ensure sport for her foxhunting neighbours, 

 and for such guests as the Prince of Wales, the late Duke 

 of Albany, the Princes Francis and Adolphus of Teck, the 

 Duchess of Sutherland, Lady Clarendon, Lady Algernon 

 Gordon Lennox, Lord Willoughby de Broke, Lord 

 Lonsdale, and Lord Charles Beresford. 



Hallingbury Place, long ago closely connected with 

 Easton Lodge in the management of the Essex Hounds, 

 has recently had its hunting memories revived by the 

 appearance in the field of Miss Archer Houblon, daughter 

 of the present owner, Lieut.-Colonel G. B. Archer 

 Houblon. 



On the southern side of the country, at Havering, 

 Mrs. Mcintosh often joins in a run from her gorse-planta- 

 tion, or from the coverts of her fox-preserving neighbour, 

 Mrs. Pemberton Barnes, who is represented in the field by 

 her energetic son.
