2 26 Mr. Selby- Lowndes. 



always a wonder that he did not bite it off ! He 

 was a very hard rider, and an excellent all-round 

 ^ sportsman. 



Mr. John Leech, of Punch renown, came out 

 with the Whaddon Chase Hounds, and there 

 found subjects suitable for his sporting cartoons. 



No man was more popular than the Honourable 

 Robert Grimston. Being rather a welter weight 

 he used to ride strong blood horses and well 

 understood how to make use of them. With 

 honourable notions of the highest order he was 

 often consulted as referee when difficulties arose 

 between two people. He was a distinguished- 

 looking man, of a peculiar type, and wore a hat 

 with a very broad brim on the back of his head, 

 with a black band under his chin. This gave 

 him a rather clerical aspect ; and he was very 

 fond of telling a story of two boys in a crowd 

 who were attracted by his appearance. One boy 

 was calling him names, when the other rebuked 

 him, saying '' Hold your noise, he will hear you; 

 it's the Dean of Westminster!" Mr. Grimston 

 was a fine sportsman, and was highly esteemed 

 by his numerous friends and acquaintances. 



Another good man at that time was Mr. 

 Cazenove, who was also fond of the vale hunting, 

 whether after fox or stag.
