C. K. CARR ON TWILIGHT 1 69 



before the hounds, and if your way is his, it will be your own 

 fault if you or your horse g'o home fasting'. 



Saturday, the 20th, a Pleshey meet quite sustained its reputation for 

 being the centre of some very staunch fox preserves, no less than three 

 brace being chased on the land of the Tufnells, to the satisfaction of a 

 Saturday field. 



Monday, however, at Kelvedon must form my piece de resistance for this 

 week. Never, perhaps, has a Kelvedon meet been more numerously or 

 more fashionably attended. On wheels, in carriages, on horseback, they 

 gathered in shoals. 'Twould have been interesting to have known how 

 much a guinea cap would have realised at Kelvedon Common. Somewhat 

 more, methinks, than the paltry £j 7s. which, at the Thrussington meet of 

 the Quern on February 15th, marked a new era in the history of that noted 

 Hunt. 



C. K. Carr on "Twilight" 



This horse, ridden by Mr. Carr, won the Roothing- Plate at 

 Harlow in '95. He is a brown gelding by "Bellerophon." 

 " Flirt," however, on whom Mr, Carr won the Fox Hunters' 

 Plate at Harlow in '96, was his favourite hunter. Mr. Carr is 

 as fond of hunting as racing, and shares with his brothers the 

 reputation of being a very straight rider across country.
