dwells upon the past glories of the Hunt, and looks for-

 we trust, for having so heartily enjoyed the noble sport 

 in the past, under the pleasant auspices of the North 

 Stafford management, nor for wishing with all his heart, 

 for the sake of younger men than himself, that the 

 dear old Hunt may go on and prosper for many happy 

 years yet to come.
