MR. HUBERT F. BRUNSKILL 277 



made in a neat speech by the honorary secretary. 

 Major Cobham, on behalf of the members. 



Mr. Brunskill sold his hounds at Rugby with the 

 exception of the bitches and whelps, which were 

 disposed of privately. The total figure realized was 

 one thousand and nine guineas. Lord Furness, at 

 Rugby, bought three lots of two couple each for 

 seventy, fifty-five and fifty-five guineas respectively, 

 and two lots of two couple and a half each for sixty- 

 five and fifty-three guineas respectively; and Mr. 

 Morel gave fifty guineas for another lot of two couple 

 and a half to go to France. 



Mr. Brunskill's passion for hounds, however, was 

 only to be kept in check for a short time, as will 

 appear in the next chapter.
