WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 355 



Mr. John Lucy signalized himself by being one of 

 three that went the tremendous run Lord Middleton had 

 from out of the Warwickshire Vale country to Ditchley 

 Park, twelve miles from Oxford — every other man being 

 beaten to a stand still, and the hounds taking up their 

 abode for the night in the Duke of Beaufort's kennel at 

 Heythorpe. Not one of Lord Middleton's men, capitally 

 mounted as they were, could get in reach of their hounds. 

 There were also a few crack Meltonians at starting, but all, 

 save one, shared the same fate. One of the best of them 

 declined when I cut it, about six miles from the finish. 



I call Mr. Hay a capital horseman. In fact, no man 

 need ride better than he did, in every one's opinion, when 

 his hounds hunted Warwickshire — very straight forward 

 and very quick. 



Mr. Boycott, of Rudgehall, Shropshire, was for many 

 years a very leading man in Warwickshire, in the early 

 period of Mr. Corbet's hunting it. 



Mr. Charles Boultbee, brother to Mr. J, Boultbee 

 of Baxterley, near Atherstone, a clipping rider of a great 

 weight. There are but few Charles Boultbee's. 



Mr. Hugo Campbell was a leading man in Warwick- 

 shire in Lord Middleton's time. 



Mr, F. Charlton, a superior Sportsman in his day, 

 was also a regular attendant, for many years, of the 

 Warwickshire. 



Mr. Henry Williams — better known as Harry 

 Williams — son of the General of that name, is a proper 

 dare-devil over a country, and a very good rider withal.
