MR. H. T. IMUCE HAS A NASTY KAIJ.

and nephew out (first time this season) and Messrs. E. Sheppard, 

 Dalton, F. Ball, and others. Mr. E. Caldecott also was well to the fore 

 and M. A. J. Tweed, riding his famous hunter " Trumps," which he 

 subsequently had the misfortune to kill at Harlow races, would not have 

 received the brush if he had not earned it. 



Very wintry weather set in, and hounds did not get out again before 

 Friday, January 12th, 1894, at Great Easton. On Saturday, the 13th, they 

 had a rare good run from Witney Wood to the High Woods. It was in 

 this gallop that Mr. Price, who was right to the front on his chestnut, met 

 with such a nasty accident, through his horse landing in a rabbit-hole, that 

 he was kept out of the saddle for many weeks. Out for exercise with my 

 son, I came across Mr. Price as he was being put into a cart. Also Mr. 

 Usborne, and a lot of other road riders who were completely out of it.

 worth chronicling ; but the crcme de la crcine was that of Monday, January 

 29th. Hardly a breath of wind, merely the whisper of the departing gale, 

 ushered in a lovely hunting morning — a morning at which to linger at the 

 meet, and do justice, as we did not fail to do, to the hospitality of one of our 

 oldest and most open-hearted members, Mr. Sands. 



In addition to the Master (Mr. Arkwright), I noted Mr. Bowlby ; that 

 youthful member of the Hunt, the Rev. F. A. S. Fane, who has only 

 hunted, he told me, sixty-eight years with the Essex Hounds ; Col. Lock- 

 wood, M.P., Messrs. E. and F. Ball, Mr. W. H. P. Barnes, Miss Buxton, 

 Mr. E. Caldecott, Mr. Christy, Mr. Chaffey Collin, Mr. W. Cook, Mr. P. 

 M. Evans, Mr. F. Green, jun.. Miss Heseltine, Mr. Horner and his boy, 

 Miss E. Morgan and her niece, Miss Oliver, Miss Tait, Mr. J. Pelly, Mr.
