after the Cottesmore hounds, he would not have 

 been within three miles of the finish when we did 

 kill the fox. It is not as a farmer or member of 

 this Club, but as a great personal friend of Mr. 

 Walter Gilbey, that I beg with great respect to 

 propose a most cordial vote of thanks to him for 

 his able, instructive, and exhaustive Paper. 



Mr. Edmund Tattersall :* Mr. Chairman, my 

 Lords, and Gentlemen, it is a very great honour to me 

 to be called upon to return thanks to Mr. Walter 

 Gilbey for the admirable Paper he has read to us. 

 The Earl of Carington has been kind enough to refer 

 to me in a very nice way, but I am sure of one thing, 

 and that is, that we all thank Mr. Walter Gilbey for 

 all he has said and done, because I think it will raise 

 a very useful discussion. 



There can be no doubt on one point — that he 

 has thrown his heart and soul into it. Every one 

 who knows Mr. Walter Gilbey and has seen his 

 pictures and prints knows he has studied this subject 

 very deeply, and can show perhaps the best collection 

 of prints and pictures in England with regard to 

 horses. Of course there are many points that would 

 raise discussion, but I do think The Earl of Carington 

 has touched on rather a weak point. I do not think 

 the cart mare would have been so near the hounds as 

 the Paper states. 



I have no doubt we must go a long way back
