Captain Sandeman 



he materially helped his regiment to win the Yeomanry cup on 

 three different occasions. He also made one of the Scottish 

 Eight when they won the Elcho Shield in 1905, and has shot 

 for Scotland in International matches six times. 



In 1905 Captain Sandeman, shooting on his own account, 

 won the St. George's Vase, Gold Cup and Gold Cross, and 

 has several times been in the King's Final, on one occasion 

 finishing eleventh; whilst in 1907, in addition to several other 

 good prizes, he won the Wimbledon Cup outright with a 

 succession of 14 bulls at 600 yards. 



An ardent deerstalker, he is also a noted game shot 

 and fisherman, and in the latter capacity is credited with 

 having killed the biggest weight of salmon ever known in one 

 day on the Usk, in eighteen fish, averaging 14 lbs. 5 ozs. ; whilst 

 on another occasion, on the same river, he killed seventeen 

 salmon in an afternoon after 1.30 p.m., his largest number 

 in one day being twenty-two, all when at home at Dan y 

 Pare. Needless to say, Captain Sandeman has been a 

 hunting man from his earliest days, and though his race-riding 

 has naturally been a hindrance in some measure, has seen 

 a lot of hunting in his time with the York and Ainsty when 

 quartered with his regiment at York, and later with the 

 Grafton, Bicester, and Meynell ; whilst in more recent years, 

 until his lifelong friend, " Reggie " Herbert, resigned the 

 Mastership, he has been a regular follower of the Mon- 

 mouthshire Hounds. Since that event, he has not been out. 



In 1884 the subject of our memoir married Jenny, eldest 

 daughter of Mr. A. Crawshaw, late of the 17th Lancers, of 

 Dan y Pare, Brecknockshire, at which place he now resides.
