The Lanarkshire and Renfrezvshire Hunt. 79 



Sir G. S. BINE RENSHAW, Bart. 



Sir Charles Stephen Bine Renshaw was born in 1883, succeeded to 

 the baronetcy on the death of his illustrious father, in March, 1918, and 

 having previously been known as " Mr. Stephen," it naturally follows 

 that Sir Stephen is now his familiar title. As a boy he was unlike many 

 other good sportsmen we know of in their early days, for he was not en- 

 raptured with the joys of foxhunting either on or off a pony ; but when in 

 later years he was at Cambridge University the latent desire for sport asserted 

 itself, and he became a keen follower of the Fitzwilliam and the Cambridge- 

 shire Hounds. In 1904, at the end of scholastic duties, the young enthusiast 

 naturally took a keen interest in the doings of the Renfrewshire pack, and 

 in due course he developed into a follower of the right type, who can not 

 only enjoy a good gallop, but take a deep interest in the work of the hounds. 

 In other branches of sport Sir Stephen is regarded as an excellent shot, 

 and his favourite game is cricket. Unfortunately illness prevented him 

 taking active participation in sport during last season, but he is now much 

 improved in health. It was in June, 1909, when Mr. Kidston resigned, 

 that Sir Stephen became associated with Mr. Archibald Walker as joint 

 honorary secretary of the Hunt, but in October, 1914, Mr. Walker resigned, 

 and the duties have since been successfully discharged by the subject of 

 this sketch except, of course, during his period of absence on active service 

 in the Great War. In January, 191 1, he married a daughter of Admiral 

 Sir Edward Chichester, R.N., and since residing in the county Lady Renshaw 

 has also become one of the most ardent votaries of the chase. Sir Stephen's 

 mother — the Dowager Lady Renshaw — was formerly a follower of the 

 pack, as also were his sisters, Mrs. H. Ogilvie, Miss Marjory Renshaw, 

 and Mrs. Gull.
