THE ACCIDENT AT N'EWBY FERRY. 123 



'Jesus rebuking the wind and the sea,' inscription, 'Peace, 

 be still.' 



There was also a memorial window placed in the Royal 

 Pump Room, at Harrogate, but this was to commemorate 

 the discovery of the mineral Spring at Harrogate some 

 two hundred years previously by Sir William Slingsby, 

 as well as the untimely fate of his successor. 



It goes without saying that a subscription was also 

 commenced for the widow and family of Orvis, and in a 

 very few weeks, — within a month indeed of the accident, — 

 close upon ^600 was raised. 



Another memorial of the accident is Sir Charles 

 Slingsby 's hunting cap, which was petrified in the Dripping 

 Well, at Knaresboroueh. 



The York and Ainsty did not hunt any more that 

 season, but the Bramham Moor and the Holderness each 

 had a day in the country by invitation, when enormous 

 crowds turned out. The Bramham Moor had their day 

 on March 9th, when they met at Buckle's inn. They 

 found in Askham Bogs, and ran hard in covert for forty 

 minutes, and then drove their fox out into the open and 

 killed him near Grange Wood. A second fo.x from Colton 

 Hagg beat them after running to Catterton, and then 

 they had a sharp burst with a third from Steeton Whin, 

 killing him at Oxton. 



The Holderness came down the next week, the following 

 account of their doings being taken from The Field of 

 March 20th : —

 ' an occasional day in their coverts. This arrangement
