140 BILSDALE AND SINNINGTON. 



But times took a turn, and since then the 

 subscriptions have increased, and the amount 

 paid to Jack in recent years has been something 

 like £140 or £160. 



After Mr. T. M. Kendall retired, Mr. Ellerby 

 carried on for some time, and when he resigned, 

 at the unanimous request of the country Mr. 

 Thomas Parrington assumed the reins of office. 

 With the energy for which he is so famous, he 

 soon put fresh life into the hunt, and began to 

 import fresh blood, especially from the Bramham 

 Moor, and the Quorn. Quorn Alfred was a 

 hound of which Mr Parrington thought highly, 

 and he contrived to get some of his blood into 

 the Sinnington kennels. 



In his efforts to show sport, Mr. Parrington 

 was ably seconded by the genial and persevering 

 secretary, Mr. Alfred Pearson, whose genuine 

 love of hunting has obtained for him the soubriquet 

 of "Nimrod," and to whose indefatio^able exertions 

 the present satisfactory financial position of the 

 hunt is mainly due. 



Perhaps the best run during Mr. Parrington's 

 mastership was from Muscoates Whin. Mr. 

 Parrington was always, during his mastershij), 

 eager to secure the presence of strangers with his 

 famous pack, and with an anxiety that they 

 should be pleased with their day, which could 

 only proceed from a genuine love of sport, never 

 left a stone unturned to secure that desirable end.
