MEMBERS OE OUE, HUNT CLUB. 27 



which my hounds used to draw covert ; and the 

 late Duke of Beaufort, who at one period frequently 

 honoured our fixtures with his presence, paid us 

 the highest compliment by saying to me one day : 

 " Whenever I want to have a good day's sport, I 

 come out with your hounds." Be it remembered 

 he was himself Master of one of the finest packs 

 of fox-hounds in the world, and hunting the coun- 

 try adjoining mine ; and he told me that one day, 

 when riding into Bath (from illness, I was not out), 

 he watched from Lansdown my hounds find their 

 fox in Beechwood, race him over the Vale by them- 

 selves, and kill him in the open, before he could 

 reach Swainswick coverts, without a horseman being 

 within a mile of them. 



As a memento of those times, I subjoin a list of 

 the members of our Hunt Club.
