First Line. Evendon's Farm to Barkham Rectory. A field 

 of some forty riders assembled to run what was expected to be a 

 " rotten " line, but which turned out to be a most enjoyable one. 

 The line ran north of Barkham Church, sharp to the left, west of 

 the church over the road, down to the brook in the meadows near 

 Barkham Square, then right-handed over the road again, the 

 second time over the brook and up to the Rectory. 



Very early in the run the junior Junior lost his hireling, and did 

 capital time on his own legs for the rest of the line.

Captain Findlay seemed to prefer jumping into the brook 

 rather than over it, and administered a drenching to one or two 

 interested onlookers, whose keenness overcame their discretion.
