I think every horse refused some time during the race ! Several 

 beaglers owned horses— J. C. Newman's " Banker " (a very good old 

 chestnut) being a great celebrity. 



Harry Fordham was a great " Thruster." 



Sam Steel was possessed of a famous horse called "Puff and 

 Blow," supposed to have carried his great weight magnificently in 

 what he described as a great hunt— the " point " being from Mark's 

 Wood to Avesley Wood, both in the Fitzwilliam country ! 



I was possessed of three different mounts during my three years, 

 viz. " The Laird," " Father Christmas," and " The Plumber." " The 

 Plumber " was a splendid little horse, and " Father Christmas " quite 

 useful. A joke we played once or twice on passing Girton on the 

 way home in the brake, was to walk the horses and then sing, " When 

 we are married " ! 



Paget was succeeded in the Mastership in the middle of season 

 1901-2 by Humphrey Barclay, I remaining 1st Whipper-in and 

 Secretary, which I had become at the beginning of that season — the 

 other Whips being D. G. Hoare, T. W. Eussell, and H. D. Bentinck. 

 A. D. P. Campbell (famous for the good mutton-chops he always gave 

 his guests) was also a Whip at one period during my three years at 

 Trinity. 



Here the history of Cambridge Beaghng practically ends, having 

 been brought down to times almost within living undergraduate 

 memory. Further records consist in stray entries in the T.F.B. 

 Club records, and are of such lighter sort as to be dealt with " after 

 dinner " in a last frivolous chapter. To all things there is an end, 

 and at Cambridge it comes quickly. Whether you think ending sad 

 or not is a matter of temperament, and depends on which of two 

 little girls that my mother used to know you most resemble, one of 

 whom was a pessimist and the other an optimist. When they had 

 had a particularly good time the pessimist used to say : " All gone !
