y'' Master of y*' Buck 

 Hounds 



V' 



EARL OF TANKERVILLE, THIETY-SEVENTH MASTEE. 293 



Mr. Lowen, the huntsman, very ably conducted all the details. 

 His superintendence merited and received the approbation of 

 the King, and with the followers of the hunt his assiduity was 

 much appreciated. From the death of Colonel Negus to the 

 appointment of Lord Tankerville, it would appear, by the 

 annexed warrant, that the wages of the six horse and three 

 foot servants of the pack amounted to 784^. a year, but, 

 apparently, this was exclusive of the salary of the huntsman 

 and the annual expenses incidental to feeding the hounds, etc.
