YOKOHAMA 



159 



A good hunter, and in '96 had done first charger with the 

 3rd Hussars for four years, for his owner, Mr. Tower, who hke 

 his brother-in-law, Mr. R. D. Hill, is a first fiighter. It is a 

 case of in or over with him. 



Upon the loth December, '96. the day on which he very 

 kindly took the trouble to be photographed for this book, and 

 when he was riding, not "Boomerang," but "Yokohama," it 

 was a case of in, for he went a plumper into the brook that runs 

 below Bullock Wood, near Earls Colne, in the East Essex 

 country, but in company with four others. Managing to get his 

 horse out on the right side, as bad luck would have it, the 

 bridle came off " Yokohama," w^ho, galloping round the field, 

 took the brook back by himself. Mr. Tower returning, suc- 

 ceeded in catching the horse, and sending him at the brook 

 again with a will, landed handsomely over, the only one of a 

 large field who succeeded in doing so, with the exception of 

 Mr. R. D. Hill, who was riding his '' Fancy Mare." 



Arthur Capel-Cure 



Arthur Capel-Cure, alas ! has joined the majority, cut off in 

 his prime. He gave up hunting when he took to the Stock 

 Exchange. He was always very candid about his prowess in 

 the hunting field, which is more than can be said of everyone.
