sister. Miss Ethel Peel, whose portrait on her well-known grey 

 nvAW " Blanche" is given on the previous page, when she was

 mount on the -rev, but whether mounted on the favourite or 



Mrs. H. Butler on "Ladylove" 



any other animal, she always rode her own line, as far as it 

 was possible to do so in Essex, and I can honestly add that 

 I have never yet seen a lady out with the Essex Hounds 

 who went better than Mrs. Butler and Miss Ethel Peel, when 

 hounds were running. It would ha\e been impossible.
