72 IRISH SPORT AND SPORTSMEN. 



Mr. Montmorency, of Castlemorrls — a real sportsman 

 and useful country gentleman. He, as well as Sir 

 Robert Paul, has sons who emulate their father's 

 goodness both in and off the field. 



John Jones, of Mullinabro, was, in his day, a clinker. 

 Nothing would stop him, and to this moment no one is 

 fonder of the sport or comes out oftener, and generally 

 on a young one, but always on a well-bred one. He, 

 too, has sons who go well and straight. What good 

 stories I have heard from him, and rare toasts too ! 



Harry Sargent and Joe Strangman were very con-

 was in his prime, and with a bay horse he had called 

 Larry, and a gray called Mainsail, very few could beat 

 Sargent. Strangman had very good horses in the 

 Wizard, Bretby, Volunteer, and Brunette. They called 

 him the " bearded flying Quaker." He has been Hon. 

 Sec. to the Hunt for many years, and no one could take 

 more pains than he does with the onerous duties con- 

 nected therewith, in testimony of which the members 

 presented him with a costly service of silver some years 

 ago at a hunt dinner. 



Henry Jephson was a wonderful, hard, and good 

 man in Lord Henry's time. He was the best of good 

 fellows, and liked by all. He was up to every sort of 

 sport, and was called " Sporting Harry." Lord 

 Waterford always had him with him. He was also 

 called " Lord Waterford's man Friday." 



Congreve Rogers had good hands and seat,
