military feats^ wlien it became known one morning, in the 

 March of 1878_, that Lord Cardigan had been killed by a 

 fall from his horse, the feeling was universal that in the 

 long-descended peer the county had lost one of its most 

 notable and distinguished characters. It is singular that 

 Mr. Tryon, of Bulwick Park, Lord Cardigan's old friend 

 and nearest neighbour, should not long after have met his 

 death by a similar accident. 



MR. TRYON. 



There was no more marked individuality in the Wood- 

 lands than the Squire of Bulwick Park. Tall, and of 

 Herculean frame, it was a sight to watch the stout-hearted 

 uld squire — reckless of eyes and face — crashing through 

 the ash-plants and the binders of one of his own well- 

 nigh impenetrable woods. 



A sportsman of the thorough-going type — equally good 

 behind a gun as in the saddle — attentive to his duties 

 as a county-magistrate — and a keen election eerer on the 

 Tory side — a finer example of the ideal of the old English 

 Gentleman might have been looked for in vain. He lived 

 to be proud of a son who has won for himself an honoured 

 name amongst British sailors ; and that son will never 

 cease to cherish the memory of a father who was re- 

 spected and esteemed by all who knew him.
