Mr. Campbell Wyndham of Exton Accident 

 this year broke his thigh, by his Campbell 

 horse slipping up after a very hard w y ndham - 

 frost on Butser Hill. He was taken home in 

 a cart, and was treated at first as if for a 

 dislocation, and suffered great pain ; Mr. 

 Wyndham then sent for Dr. Cutler from 

 London, who said it was not a dislocation but 

 a fracture. 



Mr. Wyndham owns extensive woods in 

 the centre of the Hambledon Hunt, which are 

 well stocked with foxes. 



In former years he was often seen in the 

 first flight with the Oakley. He was a good 

 flat race rider, and, being fond of racing, has 

 kept several good horses. A memoir of Mr. 

 Wyndham by "Argus,"* the " Jules Janin" of 

 the English Turf, will be found in the Sporting 

 Magazine of 1858, p. 455. 



* Argus is a Hampshire man. He is the son of the late General 

 Willes, and was born at Portsmouth, September 7, 1824. He created 

 a great sensation as soon as he came into the world, by the fact of his 

 having a caul and two teeth. He has thoroughly proved himself an 

 exception to the rule, that " no man is a prophet in his own country." 

 As a sporting writer of the present day he perhaps stands alone. His 

 contributions to Bailey s Magazine and the Morning Post are always 

 independent, but cheery and good natured.
