LEAVES FRO^r A HUNTING DIARY 



hy name, one of Mr. Neave's very best, was never taken, but ran 

 hounds completely out of scent in the neighbourhood of Hatfield 

 Broad Oak, and although the Master persevered in his search 

 tor her until a comparatively late hour, his efforts were unre- 

 warded, and, much to his chagrin, she had to be left out — three 

 sportsmen only, Messrs. W. and A. Sewell and Mr. Oldham, 

 remaining with him until he threw up the sponge. 



Miss Dorothy Sewell. 



William H. Sewell on "Jack" 



This good little chestnut horse by "Jove " by "Thunderer" 

 by "Thunderbolt" out of a high-class mare, was bred at 

 \\'arren Hill, Loughton, l)y Mr. Sewell's father, being foaled in 

 May, '79. He began his hunting career as a three-year-old. 

 when he was uncommonly tricky to ride, and has been ridden 

 bv Mr. .Sewell ever since ; not hacked about, but ridden hard 

 and straight to hounds, and very long days, too, for Mr. .Sewell 

 would never go home Ijefore the hounds ; yet in '96-'97 he was 

 still going brilliantly, and in '98-'99 taking his turn regularly
