100 The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 



^*Then Sir Charles, the eccentric, with chatterbox Fred, 

 And Matthew, Oxonian, just out of bed ; 

 From rook-cradled Thornton, their sister^' would 



speed, 

 But it's seldom the brothers will lend her a steed. 



And there is the Colonel,^^ mistake him who can. 

 That ever vivacious and popular man ; 

 The Russians did well, when they spared him to grace 

 Our ballrooms and meets, with his debonnaire face. 



There is Hutton,^^ once Westminster's youngest M.P., 

 Whom Father some day of the House we may see. 

 With his brother, and Carter^° who fought in the van. 

 When troubles were thickest in far Hindustan. 



Fair Kiplin and Carpenter met but to part, 

 And for Vyner,^^ the Turf has first claim on his heart j 

 But fox-beloved Bonvilles' plantations of larch 

 Send the Chairman,^ quintessence of new pink and 



starch. 

 There's Robinson^^ dead on short cuts, and young 



Marr 

 From Thirsk, who escaped without even a scar, 

 After nearly an hour, every moment of which 

 He seemed destined to drown in that bottomless 



ditch. 



And that sprucest of bankers^^ — the sightmakes one 



yearn 

 To have shares in what must be a pa5dng concern ; 



16 The brothers Dodsworth of Thornton- Watlass. 



17 Lady Beresford-Peirse. 



18 Colonel The Hon. A. Cathcart, late Grenadier Guards. 



19 Mr. John Hutton of Solberg. 



20 Captain Charles Carter (late 58th Bengal Native Infantry). 



21 Mr. R. C.Vyner, of Newby Hall. • 



22 Mr. J. R. Hildyard, Chairman of Quarter Sessions. 



23 Mr. J. T. Robinson, a farmer from Leckby, with ex- 

 cellent hands, and a capital man to hounds. 



24 Mr. Gerald Duncombe. Son of the late Dean of York.
