THE WARWICKSHIRE HOUNDS. 67 



went gallantly on his favourite old horse "Jack," tq^k ^^^' 

 but he declined at the last. The horses -1_ 



were all distressed, and would not face a small 

 fence, until a puff was afforded them. Mr. H. Wyatt, 

 Mr. H. Campbell, Mr. Fellowes, and Mr. Sheldon 

 were all unfortunate in not getting away. Mr. Sea- 

 grave and Mr. Hay were well up to hounds. Major 

 Bridgeman was thrown head first into a wide brook, 

 but he got out, remounted, and occupied a good place 

 at the end. Mr. S. Bradshaw had a forward 

 place. He was on a little grey horse, 

 once the property of Mr. Hornihold, a former 

 master of '*the Worcestershire." There were 

 several other well-known sportsmen out on this capital 

 day, many of whom were unfortunately thrown out, 

 and the horses of others were so much beaten that they 

 were reluctantly obliged to turn their heads home- 

 wards. 



Amongst the regular men of Mr. Hay's time were Some of Mr. 

 X1A J.L1-TT ^/TTTi.. o- Hay'afollowerH. 



Lord Avonmore and the Hon. Mr. Yelverton. Sir 



Loftus Otway was another. He was generally a good 

 way in the rear and was in consequence commonly 

 called, "Sir Lost and Out-of-the-way." Mr. Chandos 

 Leigh, of Stoneleigh Abbey, was one of the resident 

 supporters of Mr. Hay. Major Moray, from the north, 

 was a rider who was thought much of in Warwick- 

 shire, and in IVlr. Hay's time showed them what he 

 could do over the strongest part of the country, once in 

 particular distinguishing himself in a brilliant fifty- 

 five minutes from Oakley Wood. In addition to several, 

 whose names have already been given in connection 

 with earlier masterships, there should be mentioned 

 among Mr. Hay's followers. Col. Robbins, of the 7th 

 Hussars, Mr. and Mrs. Shakerley, of Cheshire ; the 

 Marquis Herrera, who rode a cream-coloured pony 

 called Caf6-au-Lait ; Mr. Harry Williams, of Leam- 

 ington ; Mr. Knightley, of Offchurch, and his friends ;
