 Hounds through four generations. Mr. Thomas Dawson, 

 of Shern Hall, Walthamstow, was one of Mr. Conyers's 

 first subscribers and a good horseman. He kept horses 

 at the "Cock," Epping, and at the "Saracen's Head," 

 Dunmow, and always hacked there and back. His son, 

 Mr, James Dawson, lived at Snaresbrook, where he kept 

 a pack of beagles, with which Mr. R. C. L. Bevan used to

 hunted regularly with the Essex Hounds until 1866. He 

 thoroughly understood hunting and went well. His son, 

 Mr. George Hogarth Dawson, was long without a rival in 

 the art of being with hounds on any horse. For some 

 years he was unable to ride owing to an injury to his 

 hip received in a polo match at Bishop .Stortford, but his 

 indomitable pluck has enabled him to take the field again.
