46 GOOD SPORT 



shows how quickly the following of a hunt comes 

 and goes, the gaps in the ranks being replaced by 

 new faces. Amongst the gay throng on the scene, 

 November 23, 1894, was the late Lord Edward 

 Manners, the Duke of Rutland's second son, who 

 so successfully undertook the duties of field-master 

 to the Belvoir during Gillard's last few seasons 

 as huntsman. Although handicapped by wearing 

 glasses, he was a fearless rider and owned some nice 

 horses, his best perhaps being the long-tailed chest- 

 nut, Oakport, winner of one or two chases with his 

 owner in the saddle. 



Those out included Mr. Thomas A. R. Heath- 

 cote, Mr. Frank and the five sisters. Miss Lucy, 

 Gertrude, Maud, Emily, and Victoria Heathcote ;

 Horncastle again 1910 election) ; the Hon. Claud
