230 THE ESSEX FOXHOUNDS. 



Mr. Ernest Ouare keeps up the traditions of his 

 family. So quicls are his eye and ear that he can see the 

 whole of many a good run without risking his neck by 

 cross-country ridinsf. Wlien the foxhounds are not in 

 his neighbourhood, he brings out an excellent pack of 

 beagles, which has won distinction at the Peterborough 

 hound show, and gives capital sport with the stout 

 Essex hares. 



From over the Hertfordshire border, Mr. Archibald 

 Peel and his daughters, Mr. F. E. Lloyd and Mr. Edmund 

 Pelly are often out on Wednesdays. 



Turning to the Ongar district, we find at Stondon 

 Mr. Tyndale White, Joint Secretary of the Hunt with 

 Mr. R. Y. Bevan. Mr. White came to live at .Stondon 

 in 1881. We have heard him assert that the Essex 

 ditches at first frightened him very much, and gave him 

 five or six falls every time he came out, so that, had it not 

 been that it was absolutely necessary for him to hunt in 

 the home counties, and he was thoroughly sick, after some 

 fifteen seasons, of the great Kentish woodlands, he should 

 have retired after the first fortnight. 



However, he soon learnt the knack of clearing the 

 Essex ditches as well as anyone, though timber has always 

 been more to his taste, and like old Jem Morgan, he will 

 go out of his way to jump a stile.
