The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 101 



I should think that no trouble could ever displace 

 The smile of content on his prosperous face. 



Next Lawson,^^ who fearing a mistress might vex 

 His bachelor household, fights shy of the sex ; 

 With Wilmot,^ the quiet and skilful, whose horse 

 Knows his rider means work, when a fox quits the 

 gorse. 



And our Argus-eyed Chief of Police,'" who you'll find 



With Allan and Cecil lags never behind ; 



Or the Master-^ of Larpool who reared in his pride, 



A palace, the glory of Hambledon-side. 



From his bride and new home comes young Bell,^* 



of the Hall, 

 Near Miss Hodgson,=^° whose grey will not give her 



a fall ; 

 Then Jester's bold owner, '^ and some who were rough 

 On the neighbours with whom they claim kinship at 



Brough. 



And Stobart^^ has passed through the park gates at 



Wath, 

 Where Sir Bellingham's manor lies hid from the path, 

 That home whence old Norton who dared to defy 

 The might of the Tudors, departed to die. 



25 Mr. Andrew Lawson, of Aldborough Manor. 



26 Mr. Wilmot-Smith, brother-in law of above. 



27 Captain Hill (late Chief Constable of the North Riding), 

 and his two sons. 



28 Captain E. Turton, late 3rd Dragoon Guards, of Upsall 

 Castle 



29 Mr. Reginald Bell, The Hall, Thirsk. 



30 A very fine rider, sister of Mr. Lumley Hodgson, of Sand 

 Hutton. 



31 Mr. Teasdale Hutchinson, of Catterick. 'His horse ' Jester* 

 took many prizes in the show ring, and was also a very 

 fine hunter over a country. 



32 The late Mr. William Stobart, then tenant of Norton 

 Conyers.
