AN' DREW CAT.DIX-OTT 



125 



Mr. Caldecott nuist ha\c IninU-d wiih the I'^ssex Hounds 

 al^oLit 45 vears, ha\iiH4' been a regular follower of them in the 

 time of Mr. Con\-ers. Until he came to Fishobin"y in 1865, he 

 used to send his horses to Oni^'ar or elsewhere over-nig-ht, and 

 drive on from W'ootlford. Mr. Caldecott was a very good judge 

 of a horse, and always rode a compact, well-bred animal about 

 15.3. He was noted for his geniality, whether in the hunting- 



Miss Maud M. Caldecott on "Mickey" 



field or at home, and in his faultless get-up was the envy and 

 admiration of all the dandies of the hunt. Better still,' he 

 always had foxes at Pishobury, and many a time have we run 

 over the border in the good old days when he lived there. 

 And if frostdDound, who ever gave a heartier welcome to the 

 skaters, or who ever defeated more bandy teams that ventured 

 to challeno-e them than Mr. Caldecott's family?
