124 FOX-HUNTING RECOLLECTIONS 



afternoons were short of daylight ; but there were 

 other considerations also which induced me to 

 resign. 



My successor was Mr. William Forbes of 

 Callendar, who had much previous experience 

 as Master of the Kildare Hounds in Ireland. I 

 sold my Blankney lot to Lord Chesham, who at 

 that time had the Bicester, and it was with very 

 great regret I said farewell to the Hurworth 

 country on the ist May 1888.
