 Cambridgeshire country. I understand that 

 many Masters experience difficulty now in 

 getting the funds in. How is it ? Does not 

 the Chase appeal to the present generation 

 as it did to their fathers? 



Among other old friends and good hunts- 

 men, there was that ratthng good fellow, Tom 

 Sebright. His name takes me back to a 

 great run they had one day in my father's 

 time. After having a very good hunt indeed 

 in the morning, they found again in Hunt's 

 Closes. They ran their fox to Tempsford 

 Bridge, and I cannot say that they there 

 lost him, because John Walker — one of the 

 very best men over that country — was the 

 only one up with them when they ran up to 

 Tempsford. 



That was one of the best runs in this 

 country on record, covering quite 22 miles, 

 and being at least a 14 miles point. 



In the early part of the run Lord M 



was galloping on just ahead of John Walker, 

 when his hat blew off.
