72 SPORT WITH 



In smart grey coat and button-hole, for model seek no higher 

 Than he with smile and courteous word, a pattern English 



squire^; 

 If "Mr. George"^ has left us, he's equalled though not beaten 

 By two young brothers, when at home from Trinity or Eton, 



With calm dehberation, talking to many a friend, 

 Riding a bay he knows can stay, all day from start to end, 

 Straight as a die he steers him ; the man must e'en sit tight 

 Who from the springs of Babbington, would follow "Charlie 

 Wright. "3 



Our "only General"* greets us, as "keen" as any there. 



His wife rides straight, a feather-weight ! they are a sporting 



pair. 

 Then popular and pleasant "the Colonel"* dashes past, 

 His big black horse can pull like fun, and gallop fairly fast. 



Our military members quite muster up in force. 

 The "Adjutant"*^ so very smart on his black charger horse ; 

 The "Major'"' too from Bawtry can hold his own with most. 

 He has a wondrous chesnut steed, and loves its feats to boast. 



Another friend is coming, his horse looks full of go. 

 Sitting hghtly on the saddle, hard and well rides R.C.O.^ ; 

 The family from Eaton, all patronize the pack, 

 No one more anxious to be first, more plucky than young Jack, 



Aston's master** — always merry and real good fun is he 

 Though his lady beats her lord to hounds, unless he's on 



" Trustee ; " 

 Many miles two more have ridden, o'er the Hmestone roads so 



stony. 

 His "Reverence" ^° on a little grey, she^^ on a ripping pony. 



A couple^ 2 here from Ranby go like the wind together. 

 And in the chase undaunted face the roughest fence or weather, 

 We miss our friend from Scaf t worth i=^, no better man comes out. 

 And Where's the hunter from "The Grange, "^^^ what can he 

 be about ?
