The Earl of Lonsdale's Mastership of the Quorn 

 from 1893 to 1898 will always be remembered for 

 its brilliancy and high average of sport, Melton 

 being full of talent and fashion. Such a combination 

 as Lord Lonsdale and Tom Firr is seldom met in a 

 lifetime ; the brilliance of both in the field comes 

 in for mention by Major G. J. Whyte-Melville in 

 his "Riding Recollections." Mr. J. Otho Paget, 

 in his interesting book on " Hunting," one of the 

 Haddon Hah Series, is another who says, '' The 

 three best all-round horsemen that I have seen 

 are Lord Lonsdale, Mr. Cecil Chaplin, and Tom Firr.
