LEAVES FROM A HUNTING DIARY 



of Writtle, she carried off the first prize for hunters, up to 

 not less than 14 St., at Champion Lodge ; and at the Essex 

 Agricultural Show, held at Harlow, in 1892, she was adjudged 

 the best hunter in the show. Since that time Mrs. Mcintosh 

 has not shown her, but has hunted her regularly and found 

 her a delightful mount. 



Mrs. Gerald Buxton on " Phroso " 



Mrs. Gerald Buxton on " Phroso" is another of those who 

 are able to share the pleasures of Fox-hunting with a partner 

 equally fond of it. She has inherited all the love of the sport 

 which runs in the Pease family, and is sister to Mr. A. E. 

 Pease, who wrote the " History of the Cleveland Hounds " and 

 other sporting books, and of Mr. J. A. Pease. Both brothers 

 have won the House of Commons Point-to-Point. " Phroso," the 

 animal upon which she is depicted, is a fair type of the class of 

 horse which, with perfect seat and good hands, she rides with 

 so much judgment and discretion with hounds.
