 sporting papers to be searched, writers of articles and 

 others to be hunted out and consulted, interviews 

 with many people to be held and a voluminous 

 correspondence with those at home of an explanatory

 deserve the cordial vote of thanks accorded him at a 

 general meeting of the hunt on the 29th October, 

 1890, and the compliment then paid him by electing 

 him an honorary member of the hunt for life. 



His assistance was soon afterwards recognized in a 

 more substantial way by the presentation to him of 

 a marble chiming clock bearing the inscription : 



"Presented to Lewis Rendell, Esq., as a mark 

 of esteem from the Members of the South Devon 

 Hunt. 1891."
