HUNTING REMINISCENCES 



sport more thoroughly. When out with the 

 Belvoir he once jumped a gate on the swing, his 

 horse catching the top bar, giving his rider a 

 terrible fall. Some thought that this fall brought 

 about the serious illness and subsequent paralysis 

 which ended his life. 



On the last day of the season, April 14th, at 

 JNIarston, in weather that savoured more of June, 

 we find a characteristic entry in Gillard's diary : 

 " Rather a nice field were out, there being no less 

 than three masters of hounds, two ex-masters, and 

 one huntsman. They were Lord Harrington, 

 Lord Galway, Mr. C. B. Wright from the Bads- 

 worth, ]VIr. Richard Ord of the North Durham, 

 ]VIr. Pennington, and Sam JMorgan, huntsman to 

 the Grove hounds." 



The number of hunting days this season was 

 139, and 121 foxes were killed. 



Lord Harrington, M.F.H.
