LKAVKS FROM A HUNTING DIARY 



w itlc inllLicncc she exercises is all lor ^oocl. 'Tis doubly so 

 when that inlliience which ^ixcs the tone to a Hunt, welds it 

 and binds it together in a chi\alr()us band, is shared and 

 advanced by a kindred spirit, by one holdin<4 a similar position, 

 the wife of a brother Master. In Mrs. Bowlby and Mrs. 

 Arkwrii>ht all these conditions are fulfilled. 



Arthur Salvin Bowlby 



Arthur Salvin Bowlby hunts his two or three days a week 

 regularly ; dislikes jostling for a gap in the crowd, but dearly 

 loves a good gallop in the evening. To his skill in amateur 

 photography I am greatly indebted for several of the best 

 illustrations in these volumes, notably the meets at the "Green 

 Man.' Harlow, the portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Bowlby and 

 Mrs. Arkwright, Parndon Hall, &c. 



Monday, March 12th. — Blackmore, a blustering windy day, with falling 

 glass, (lid not portend good sport, but the unexpected often happens, and if 

 we did not have the run of the season, we certainly had a most enjoyable 

 woodland day, winding up with a fast straight scurry in the open.
