second to none as regards the pack of hounds, 

 the best he could get together, and horses 

 purchased regardless of expense. He only 

 kept them a few seasons, his Huntsmen being 

 Turner during the first part of his reign, 

 and Jack Press, from the Cambridgeshire, to 

 finish with, and that worthy went over with 

 the pack when Mr. Digby presented it to Sir 

 Richard Glyn ; he also gave him the horses on 

 the understanding that, as they were done with, 

 they were to be shot. Sir Richard Glyn was 

 more of a houndsman than Mr. Digby, and with 

 material such as he found — and it was all from 

 the best of sources — he went heart and soul into 

 high breeding, and no one was keener, as has 

 been often evinced at the hound shows. Sir 

 Richard was quite a model Master, as he set the 

 example of fine riding, but he would never allow 

 any liberties to be taken ; and I recollect old 

 Press's opinion, given in his gruff style, that 

 theirs was the hardest riding Hunt in England, 

 and under the best command. They never 

 bothered him, or pressed too close on hounds. 

 Sir Richard took care of that.
