Scarlet 283 



Goode of Oxford, in two capital paint- John Jones and 



ings, which grace the Headington Hill TomCiark. 

 library, amid countless heavy-weight carriers, and the 

 Hercules and Sunderland families. The first in date 

 has been engraved as a companion to the Heythrop 

 one, and we seem for years to have never walked up 

 the High-Street of Oxford, without seeing the pair in 

 the print-sellers' windows, flanking " Lord Hardinge 

 and his staff, on the field of Sobraon." John Jones is 

 on Columbine, and his first whip Will Borrow on 

 Etonian. Will has been laid to rest in Tubney church- 

 yard, and his entire grey Buckland (who showed The 

 Queen's the way over Berkshire, when they came to 

 Buckland and Beckett) has earned a monument in 

 Marcham Park ; while Jim Stacey is still as fresh as 

 he was on the Wood Hill day. It was then that 

 Jones told him to get forward (after they sunk the 

 Vale and had a long check) to the head of earths at 

 Woodhill ; and he took one of his celebrated four- 

 milers, and beating the fox by about thrice the length 

 of his boots, had the pleasure of seeing him broken-up 

 at Land Farm, seventeen miles from Milton Hall 

 where he was found. Tom Clark, whose taste for 

 hunting first came on him from seeing Mr. Mure's 

 hounds cross Newmarket Heath with their fox, when 

 he was a cotemporary with Nat in Cooper's stables, is 

 on the chestnut ROB ROY in the second picture ; 

 while Joe Orchin (who subsequently hunted the 

 Hambleton until deafness overcame him) is ready for 

 action on the elegant Sir Warwick, and Will Maiden, 

 the present Old Berkshire first whip, on Ladybird. 

 In both of them we miss the master ; but Mr. Grant 

 has supplied the want in that admirable picture of 

 him upon his white horse Memnon, (whom he rode for 

 nine seasons), with Rutland, Musical, and Foreman at 

 his side. 



The Matter is a combination of the Foreman and 

 blood of Warrior and Assheton Smith's Sunderland.
