C. E. GREEN AND HIS SECOND HORSEMAN 



229 



does not include a portrait of Mr. Green's second horseman, 

 Charles Crawley,* a faithful servant, who must have been in 

 Mr. Green's service nearly all his life, and who was as well 

 known in the Essex hunting- field as his master. 



There is no room here for a long- biography of Mr. Green. 

 What he has done for cricket in Essex he has, and is striving 

 to do, for hunting with the Essex Hounds, i.e., make it an 

 unqualified success. Entered at a very early age with the late 



The King William 



(En route to the Axe and Compasses, Nov. 21, 1896) 



Mr. C. E. Green's "Factotum" Mr. Brindle James Dunmow 



Charles Crawley Mr. Sheffield Neave, M.S.H. (age 83) 



Mr. Henry Vigne's Harriers, he has hunted on and off with the 

 Essex Hounds ever since. Taking up his residence in the 

 southern borders of the country about the season 1881-82, he 

 assisted the late Mr. Loftus W. Arkwright as field master in the 

 seasons 1886- 1888, and succeeded Mr. Arkwright as Master in 

 1889, retaining office until 1S93, when Mr. E. Salvin Bowlby 

 and Mr. Arkwright's son took up the task, the latter 

 relinquishing it and handing it back to Mr. Green at the end of 

 the season 1898-99. 



* If anyone wanted to know the way home after a long run, from what- 

 ever part of the country he hailed from, nine times out of ten it was a 

 case of " Oh, ask Crawley ! " — Ed.
