102 The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 



Where legend has graven a mark of the flight 

 Of CavaHer Graham from Long-Marston fight ; 

 Such memories flit through my brain as I ride, 

 On the white shingle-beach of that flat waterside. 



Then Turf-loving Middleham equips one or two 

 Of the world renowned trainers, and lads not a few. 

 Though Providence sometimes to sinners permits 

 Acquaintance unsought with the heels of their 'tits'. 



Mr. Powell,^^ from Sharow, will not be the last 

 Nor the Captain, excitable, hurrying fast ; 

 While the children of Sion-'^ are safe for a place. 

 The daughters and sons of a fox-hunting race. 



Then there's long headed Lascelles,"^ not often 



thrown out, 

 In business or sport he knows what he's about. 

 And his tact and suave manner have kept us afloat 

 When the Hunt didn't sail in a very safe boat. 



See RusselP^ the restless, the moody, the gay, 

 The thoughtless or thoughtful, I doubt which to say. 

 Musician and sportsman, he rides in the van 

 And the charm of his smile, resist it who can ? 



Next humorous Crompton,^ so fond of a swim. 

 On a brute which would tire any other but him. 

 His eye has a twinkle — I think if he chose 

 He could kick up a shine with the secrets he knows. 



33 The Rev. S. H. Powell and his son. Captain Sam 

 Powell. 



34 The children of the Hon. George Lascelles, of Sion Hall. 



35 The Hon. George Lascelles. Brother of the 4th Earl of 

 Harewood, The 2nd Earl having been Master of the 

 present " Bramham Moor Hounds." 



36 Mr. W. D. Russell, of Newton House. 



37 Mr. R. Crompton, of Azerley Chace.
