130 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



View'd now, the rattling Tallyho 



Rang in his ears an awful omen ; 

 Met in these fields an overthrow — 



Few finer nans M-ere seen by no men. 



For seventy minutes, without check, 



Some nags were done ere they got lialf way ; 



And Johnny Newcomes — saving neck — 



Flat, here and there, as ever calf lay ! 



Mr, R.Barnard, of Lighthorne, Mr. H. Campbell, 

 and Mr. Hancox, went well, and were up at the death. 

 Several falls occurred in the course of the run, mostly to 

 young riders, who made too free with their nags. 



Lord MiDDLETON staked his favourite grey horse. 

 Smoke?', which cost him 500 guineas, near Moreton Morrell. 

 The huntsman told him of the accident, but his Lordship 

 continued to ride him. He was at length taken home, and, 

 though treated with the utmost care, he was shot to put an 

 end to his sufferings. His Lordship had the stake taken 

 up and preserved.

 was on Monday, November 10th, at Edge Hill. During this
