242 THE MEYNELL HOUNDS. [1897 



In July of this year Lord Hincllip, who had been 

 intimately connected with the Meynell Hunt for a great 

 number of years, died after an operation for cancer on the 

 tongue. Samuel Charles, second Lord Hindlip, succeeded 

 to the title in 1887. He was born in 1842; married, in 

 1868, Georgina Millicent, daughter of Charles R. Palmer- 

 Morewood, Esq., of Alfreton Hall, Derbyshire, and was 

 educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge, where 

 he took his M.A. degree. He was J. P. and D.L. for 

 Staffordshire, J. P. for Derbyshire and Worcestershire, and 

 Deputy-Chairman for the Great Northern Railway. He 

 •entered Parliament as a Conservative in 1873 for East 

 Staffordshire, but was defeated in 1880 by Mr. Bass (now 

 Lord Burton) and Mr. (now Sir Henry) Wiggin. In 1882, 

 however, he again entered Parliament as M.P. for Taunton, 

 for which constituency he sat till he succeeded to the 

 Peerage in 1887. In the election of 1885, when Mr. G. 

 Hardy was opposing Mr. Bass, Mr. Charles Allsopp was in 

 the chair at a meeting in St. George's Hall, Burton, and 

 left the platform to try conclusions with the ringleader of 

 some of his opponents, who were creating a disturbance. 

 A m lee ensued, and he returned, minus his watch, with 

 his clothes torn and his face bleeding. The watch was 

 subsequently returned. 



He lived at Field House, Marchington, and subsequently 

 at Doveridge, where he entertained the Prince of Wales 

 for Derby races, in 1888. Though not a hard rider. Lord 

 Hindlip was a good sportsman and a staunch supporter of 

 the Hunt. He could describe all the details of a run when 

 the day was over better than any one, and was a past 

 master of the art of riding to points, while his knowledge 

 of the country was wonderful. Put him down where you 

 would, he could tell you the shortest way to anywhere. 



In this year Mr. C. A. Chandos-Pole (son of the late 

 Rev. W. Chandos-Pole, rector of Radburne), who had been 

 for some time in Australia, began hunting again regularly 

 with the Meynell. Like the rest of his family, he is a born 

 horseman and good sportsman, and always wears a hunting
