 Boyce,the Countess of Cardigan and Lancastre, author 

 of a book of lively reminiscences, Ehzabeth Countess 

 of Wilton, Mr. Beaumont Lubbock, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil

 present masters of hounds included Lord Chesham, 

 Lord Manners, Captain Warner, Captain Peacock, 

 Mr. Tailby, Mr. Fernie, Captain Pennell Elmhirst, 

 and Sir Bache Cunard. 



Future masters of hounds were represented by 

 Lord Annaly, Captain Burns Hartopp, Mr. Charles 

 McNeill, Lord Huntingdon, and 

 Lord Charles Bentinck — a galaxy 

 of talent to help to make a re- 

 cord show in the annals of fox- 

 hunting. Mr. Henry Custance 

 was there to represent racing, 

 and a piebald horse named 

 " Joseph's Coat," that jumped

 King King, left a lasting impres- 

 sion as he flitted across country 

 with a comet-like tail. 



Pleasant memories must al- 

 ways be associated on this 

 occasion with Mr. and Mrs. 

 James Hornsby, hunting from 

 Stapleford Park, one of the most 

 beautiful old - world Leicester- 

 shire hunting-boxes, where we 

 stayed, to ride a good roan horse, Remus — a 

 reliable mount in a crowd. At this time Mr. and 

 Mrs. James Hornsby were regular followers of all
