NliMROD'S NORTHERX TOUR. 293 



And for a time can ruralize, 

 The Turriff sport to criticize ; 

 Discard all riding from your mind, 

 For here no jealous swells you'll find : 

 Fair science here alone has sway, 

 Fine horse, fine man, are thrown away. 

 Come, then, and see, that nose and pace, 

 Are the twin-sisters of the chase." 



Over the side-board is a short-horned heifer, together with a new 

 Leicester ewe, and Keith-hall in the back ground, which are all in cha- 

 racter here, his lordship having signalized himself as a farmer, and 

 more especially as a breeder. In other parts of the room, are the follow- 

 ing pictures and prints : — " Lord Darlington and his Hounds." '' Hounds 

 breaking cover," by Chalon (capital.) '' A Mail Coach." (It is scarcely 

 necessary to observe, Lord Kintore is a coachman.) " The Mails leaving 

 the London Post-office" — both good. " A Plan of a Kennel," in sections. 

 Excellent print of a man, with a bumper in his hand, about to drink 

 fox-hunting. " The Exeter Waggon." " Tom Oldaker on Brush." 

 " Mr. Ralph Lambton on Undertaker." *' Philip Payne* on his old 

 Grey Horse." " Daviesf on Columbine." " Mr. Parker and the 

 Worcestershire Hounds." " Mr. Charles Newnham finding his fox." 

 *' Tom Crane, and three hounds, with these lines — 



" Alas ! honest Tom ; he's gone to repose. 

 And he and the foxes no longer are foes." 



" A jolly party," viz. — Farley, Matthews, and Liston ; with the fol- 

 lowing under-written, in his lordship's own hand, as if he longed to 

 have made the fourth : — 



" We'll drive all care and pain away, 

 And pass a jovial night." 



* Philip Payne, huntsman to the late Duke of Beaufort, 

 t Davies, at j)resent huntsman to his Majesty.
