they were married at Nairobi. They are now 

 farming in a large way (maize, beans, etc.) near 

 Nakuru in Uganda, ^vith success ; also coffee and 

 cocoa, etc. 



I must not forget to say that I saw my old friend 

 BoBRiNSKi (formerly the property of Mr. James 

 R. Keene) at Njoro. He was in training with 

 Mr. Clutterbuck, there. He certainly looked well, 

 and should prove a good sire. He is the property 

 of the Hon. Barclay Cole (son of the Earl of 

 Enniskillen). His brother, who also farmed in 

 British East Africa, was very popular, every one 

 speaking of him as a real good sort. 



Ernest, my third son, was unfortunately 

 drowned through an attack of cramp whilst 

 bathing. Ernest as a boy had no liking for horses 

 at all until he became a pupil with Mr. Harvey, 

 a gentleman farmer and sportsman in Norfolk. 

 Mr. Harvey dared Ernest to ride a hunter at a five- 

 barred gate. He did so, and came an awful purler, 

 but immediately remounted and dashed his horse 

 at it again, this time successfully. From that 

 time he hunted regularly, and just before his 

 death rode the winner of a steeplechase at Sher- 

 stone. I was not there, but I heard he had a 

 splendid ovation ; his open-hearted good nature 

 made him very popular with all classes. Ernest 

 was a champion on his bicycle.
