tion of the " death of the fox," and on the other bears 

 the following inscription framed within the over- 

 arching boughs of an oak tree depicted on either side : 



Presented to 



Thomas Westlake Esquire 



On his retiring from the Mastership of 



The South Devon Fox Hounds 



By Members of the Hunt 



In testimony of their appreciation of 



The sport he has shewn them 



During Ten Seasons 



September, 1875 



This cup, with the presentation horn before referred 

 to, is now in the possession of his great-nephew, Mr. 

 Richard Westlake, the present owner and occupier 

 of Wood Hall. 



The memorv of Tom Westlake is still cherished in 

 his old country, where the excellent sport he shewed 

 has never faded from the recollection of those who 

 shared in it, and it is said that to this day men still 

 search in the hope of finding the horn he lost at the 

 bottom of Becky Brook.
