346 SPORTING REMINISCENCES [1S45 to 



1859. Captain, now Earl Poulett, at this 



PoSett ^ me became master of the Ham- 

 masterof bledon hounds, and at no period 



the nam- ' L 



biedon. since their existence have they 



been so liberally managed, or have they 

 had better sport. A large portion of Colonel 

 Wyndham's west Sussex country was now 

 added; and in order to hunt it fairly, these 

 hounds now go out six times a week, and 

 following the Tidworth precedent, Captain 

 Poulett and Cox always hunt on alternate 

 days, and occasionally on the same day. 

 The master receives the support he de- 

 serves, and among his best friends, who 

 are not members of the Hunt, but without 

 whom he could not well get on may be 

 reckoned : 



Good men Messrs. C. B. Smith of Wickham, 



5 th ?, , Messrs. Horn, E. Elclerfield, W. 



Hambledon ; 



Hunt. Friend, J. Goldsmith, J. Twynam, 



and R. Pink of Hambledon ; F. Pratt and 

 T. Earwaker of West Meon ; John Stares of 

 Droxford; R, Gale and Mortimer of Horndean; 

 James Martin of Cams; George Pittis, G. 

 Clark, H. Appleford of Marwell ; Henry Bar- 

 nard of East Meon ; and of others, who will 

 attribute to my ignorance an unintentional 

 omission of their names.
