in the saddle, was first, Mr. T. Brooks being second, on 

 his Galen, and Mr. T. Marris third, on Mr. F. Nicholson's 

 Heretic. Sir Tatton Sykes was fourth. The races were 

 run in heats. 



Charles, the second Earl, known in Lincolnshire as 

 "Yarborough the Good," was first M.P. for the county, 

 and after the Reform Bill, for North Lincolnshire, and it 

 was in his time that the Grimsby Docks and the railway 

 were made. He was Lord Lieutenant in 1857, and, like 

 his father and grandfather, was Recorder of Grimsby, and 

 it was to his memory that his tenants and friends 

 erected, at a cost of over £2000, the handsome arch at 

 the Kirmington entrance to Brocklesby Park. He married 

 the Hon. Adelaide Maude, daughter of the third Viscount 

 Ha warden. She married, secondly, in 1869, William John, 

 Viscount Oxenbridge, and died in 1897. On the break-up 

 of Appuldurcombe, in 1855, the celebrated Museum Wors-

 collection of ohjets cVart was collected by Sir Richard 

 AVorsley while in Italy and the Levant, and an account of 

 his travels is recorded in his manuscript journals. The 

 third Earl sat as member for Grimsby while Lord 

 Worsley, and commanded the first battalion of the 

 Lincoln Rifles at the beginning of the Volunteer Move-

 daughter of the second Earl of Listowel, and grand- 

 daughter of the late Admiral AVindham, of Felbrigg, 

 Norfolk. He was a keen sportsman, and a popular and 

 generous landlord, and during his mastership of the 

 Brocklesby Hounds, with Nimrod Long as huntsman, the 

 Hunt ranked second to none. No expense was spared. 

 Long had a magnificent pack of hounds to hunt, and no 

 huntsman in England was better mounted. During the 

 minority of the present Earl of Yarborough, the manage- 

 ment of the hounds was undertaken by his mother, who 

 was ably assisted by Mr. J. Maunsell Richardson, whom 

 she married in 1881. A subscription was mooted at the 

 death of the third Earl of Yarborough, in 1875, but the
