CHAPTER V. 



The Rule of Mr. George Lane Fox {contiinied). 



THE IIISTOKV OF THE HUNT FROM STEPHEN GOODALI, TO 

 GEORGE KINGSBURY. 



After a long and uninterrupted period during which little 

 change has taken place, it not infrequently happens that 

 changes come with rapidity, and that one break leads to a 

 series. Such was the case with the Bramham Moor Hunt. 

 With the death of Treadwell' ended the first of the three 

 periods into which Mr. Fox's mastership may be fitly divided, 

 and now comes a time when changes, if not exactly frequent, 

 were yet frequent for the Bramham Moor Hunt. During 

 the twelve seasons of which this second period is comprised, 

 four huntsmen carried the horn, namely : Stephen Goodall, 

 Fred Turpin, Goddard Morgan (the brother of hard-riding 

 Ben, by whom the Yorkshire woldsmen still swear), and 

 George Kingsbury. 



Stephen Goodall came over from Ireland, and assumed 

 the command on August ist, 1865, and he commenced his 

 first season's cub-hunting on September 2nd, with Ned 

 Johnson still occupying the place of first whipper-in.
