140 FOX-HUNTING RECOLLECTIONS 



Windlestone, Mr. Gilpin Brown of Sedbury, Mr. 

 R. A. Morritt of Rokeby, Lord Londonderry, 

 Lord Henr}^ Vane-Tempest, Colonel Wilson of 

 Cliffe, Captain Wilson Todd of Halnaby, Mr. 

 Cradock of Hartforth, Mr. W. Scarth of Stain- 

 drop, Hon. Thomas Dundas, Lady Alice Dundas, 

 Lady Hilda Dundas, Mr. Herbert Straker, Mr. J. 

 Fife, Mr. W. Foster, and others; a pleasing picture, 

 in which it is shown that now, as in the old days 

 of Raby, the hunt still wear the black velvet 

 collar and gold fox. 



What real pleasure it was to hunt with Lord 

 Zetland ! Ever courteous and considerate to his 

 field, he never deviated from the one object in his 

 mind, and that was to show sport. To carry 

 out that endeavour he was ably seconded by 

 Champion, a brilliant man after a fox, a fine 

 horseman, with a good voice, and keen to show 

 a gallop at any hour of the morning or the 

 evening ; according to my views he was an ideal 

 huntsman. 



How many pleasant weeks year after year have 

 I passed at Aske, that charming home of Lord and 

 Lady Zetland, where hospitality is unbounded. 



For the purpose of hunting in that country, I 

 often stayed with Mr. Gilpin Brown at Sedbury, a 

 sportsman of the old school who could go a long 

 way back into history of the Raby Hunt.
