TWO FAVOURITE HUNTERS 223 



Miss Christabel Pelly on " Bishop," I expect almost looks 

 upon this game little bay cob standing- 14.3 as her own, for she 

 rides it almost as frequently as her mother, Mrs. L. Pelly, of 

 Bowes. "Bishop" is a great favourite of Mrs. Felly's, having 

 carried her and her daughter for three or four seasons without 

 a fall, and I may add, has carried them very straight over our 

 intricate countrv. 



Mrs. R. Parkes on "Gay Boy' 



Mrs. Parkes never regretted her judgment in purchasing 

 " Gay Boy," a grey gelding 14.3, in 1892. A good hack, 

 capital harness cob, and a pleasant mount with hounds, he 

 carried her well for four seasons, and became a great favourite. 

 Alas, that, in the words of Whyte Melville, Mrs. Parkes should 

 have to write : — 



" Now for all my love and care, I've an empty stall and bare ; 

 I shall never ride my gallant horse again."
