376 THE OLD BERKS HUNT 



during what will stand out as one of the great 

 hunts of the season in the Old Berks country. 



Mr. G. B. Eyston, of Stanford Place, one 

 of the oldest members of the Hunt, died on 

 July the 30th, 1904. His recollections of the 

 Hunt went back to the time of Mr. T. T. 

 Morland, and he had kindly rendered con- 

 siderable assistance in the compilation of this 

 History, in which he took a great interest. 



Mr. Wright is very fond of a coach, and 

 always has a good team ; for several years he 

 drove a coach between Buxton and Matlock. 



Amongst those hunting at the present time 

 are the following : Sir William Throckmorton, 

 President of the Hunt, who comes out occa- 

 sionally and is always a popular figure in the 

 field ; Mr. E. K. Lenthall, who in his eighty- 

 third year, still comes out frequently and sits 

 his horse as straight and fearlessly as ever. 

 Towards the close of last season, after a 

 sharp twenty-five minutes from the " Turf 

 Pits," Mr. Lenthall was heard to remark "A 

 very nice little spin, but not quite enough 

 jumping." The gentler sex are represented 

 by Evelyn, Countess of Craven, from Ash- 

 down ; Mrs. John Phillips, of Culham, the 

 daughter of a former Master (Mr. Henley 

 Greaves) ; Mrs. Wright, who is often out in 

 her carriage driving her favourite "Wonder,"
