 reputation as an elephant shot, and one of the 

 best flat-race riders in the presidency of " the Be- 

 nighted ;" then came Fane and Johnstone, the 

 champions of the " Qui hy " division and their 

 foUowings, with Gordon, Anstruther, and a fair 

 sprinkling of " Ducks " from the far West. Then 

 there was Malcolm, the Assistant Resident, Eric 

 Sutherland, Davidson, Orr, and a host of " the 

 Nizam's Irregulars," Nolan, who afterwards fell at 

 Balaclava, and some of the hardest riders of Lovel's 

 hussars from Bangalore, Otter, Shortt, Chetewode, 

 Glassbrooke, Madigan, and a host of " The King's 

 Own,'* Bul-bul, Wylde, and a few other choice 

 spirits from the Nagpore, Nebudda, and Sanger

 Subsidiary Force who laid any claim to be con- 

 sidered " a sportsman," and their name was legion.
