gates, will stop neither, nor anything else reasonably possible. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">May the Editor intervene for a moment to offer his humble apologies to both these worthies, for the liberty taken with familiar names and sobriquets? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Captain PEARSON, after serving his Queen in more than one Cavalry regiment, as well as in the Volunteers, finally settled down in his native town of Macclesfield as a silk manufacturer, where his hospitality and bonhomie became proverbial. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The story of the picture is this: Sam Pearson was doing a deal" with Mr. COOKE for his horse - but he entered the preliminary objection, that the horse was too slow for him. Now Sam rode an honest sixteen stone, which he entrusted to the care of great weight-carrying animals, of whom all he asked was, that they should amble along through a run at the rate of six miles an hour, and lob through the gaps as they lay in his way. "Too slow! " retorts Bill, "he is not so slow as yours;" - hence, at the instigation of a bystander, sprang the sporting match here given, the said match being thus made a contest, not of speed, but its absence, Please admire the earnest and determined expression on the benevolent face of one, and the humorous triumph in the backward glance of the other. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What Horace sang of Virgil may well be said of the subject of this plate; for what words could express the grief and regret we all felt at the sad and sudden end of our much loved Master, "tam cari Capitis"? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A master of hounds has many, nay daily, opportunities for consulting his own private convenience, wishes, and comfort; and, naturally, has equal opportunities to forget himself and think only of the sport and desires of his field. According as he does one or the other, will he be regarded with esteem and affection. Certainly no one could be more considerate and self-forgetful than our Captain. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When to this fine characteristic we add a noble presence, a genial manner springing from real kindness of heart, adequate means and an open-handed use of the same, and last, but not least, an inborn love of hounds and thorough knowledge of hunting in all its branches, and, as a graceful ornament, a popular Helpmeet, a true partner of his interests, we have indeed an ideal master such as can rarely be found. It did not need so tragical an end to a life of kindness and generosity to make our grief unlimited and our loss irreparable. Such was our PARK YATES! <i>"He was a man, </i></span><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">take him for all in all, we shall not look upon his like again." </span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">How much hunting in Cheshire owes to Mr. WARBURTON and his father (the late Rowland Egerton-Warburton, Esq.) may be easily inferred from the fact that in 1872 the latter, owing to loss of sight, retired from the secretaryship, an office he had held for thirty-five years, when his son (the present Mr. Warburton) was elected to succeed him, and he has carried on the management down to the present time—i.e., for thirty years. A service of 65 years by father and son! <br /><br />In the year 1836, the number of subscribers to the Hounds was only 17. Now it is 83. <br /><br />Of course, the secretaryship represents a small part of the debt. Mr. R. Warburton's poetry and songs must have had an incalculable effect in maintaining the spirit and "go" of the Hunt. Would that we had his refined and beautiful figure and features portrayed in our book, but his active pursuit had ceased when Mr. Massey began his series of portraits—hence our loss. <br /><br />His son, though he does not exercise the father's poetical gifts, wields a most skilful pencil; and to him we are indebted for the likeness of our Artist which adorns the first page of our Album. His private collection is full of striking and life-like drawings, mostly pen and ink, of quite a number of persons connected with our Field. <br /><br />'Tis pleasant to know that a still later generation is fitly represented by a son, now at Christ Church, Oxford, who may be trusted to carry on the traditions and tastes of his family, whose place, Arley, I should add, has ever been a very stronghold of foxes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We have here a most sporting match, instigated by Captain White and Lord Combermere, who are looking on, whose verdict on the finish was, "Wins by a Nose"; but whether that nose was an equine nose or a human, was always a moot point, for the riders were both specially and bountifully dowered in that expressive feature. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">These two names were for a long time "familiar in men's mouths as household words." <br /><br />As master and huntsman of the Cheshire, they were second to none. LORD GROSVENOR resided at that time at Calveley Hall, in the very cream of the country. At his father's death he became Marquis, and afterwards the first Duke, of Westminster. <br /><br />Vain and needless, and perhaps impertinent, to speak of his character and public career, for the whole civilised world knew and admired them; and many an object of charity, private and public, had cause to lament his death. PETER COLLISON, his huntsman, was a good servant, rather of the order <br />celebrated with Mr. Jorrocks in the person of James Pigg. </span></div>

These two brothers of Sir Humphrey, aforementioned, were, through a whole generation, among the very flower of the Cheshire Hunt, well mounted and properly dressed. Where hounds went, there was AUGUSTUS DE TRAFFORD; and when they ran hardest, and longest, there, if you could attain the neighbourhood yourself, you would surely find CECIL DE TRAFFORD. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This Plate seems to me to be one of the happiest inspirations in the Album. <br />Mr. Littledale was a warm and active friend of foxes and hunting, and <br />to represent him as viewing away TWO foxes from one of his own gorses, with hand uplifted to enjoin silence, and with so pleased an expression on his kindly face, is an idea worthy of all admiration. <br /><br />I believe on more than one occasion he purchased a farm just because it had <br />a good covert on it, and he has actually been known, after his dinner, to turn out again on a winter's night, in order to see for himself that there had been no foul play towards a fox run to ground that day on his property. Show me anyone capable of so active goodwill in these days, and I will take off my hat to him in all honour and respect! Happily for Cheshire he has left in his son a worthy representative of his name and fame. </span></div>

Carm. iv, 9.) <br /><br /> Old Horace was quite right, and so many a hard man has "lived" and passed into darkness before the days of our hero, in Homeric phrase "King of Men" and "Tamer of Horses," and their features and deeds have been lost to posterity, because they lacked the pen of a Warburton and the pencil of a Massey. We are more happy, and so while we feast our eyes on the fine seat of JACK WHITE mounted on his famous and shapely mare, let us listen to our Poet's friend, "Farmer Dobbin," describing a meet of the Cheshire, where among many other celebrities he says, in his own vernacular tongue -<br /> <i> "I seed that great commander in the saddle, Captain Whoit,<br /> An the pack as thrung'd abut him was indeed a gradely soight; <br /> The dugs look'd foin as satin, an himsel look'd hard as nails,<br /> An he giv the swells a caution not to roid upo' their tails. <br /> Says he, 'Young men o' Monchester and Livverpoo, cum near, <br /> Oiv just a word, a warning ward, to whisper in your ear <br /> When, starting from the cuvver soid, ye see bawd Reynard Burst,<br /> We canna 'ave no 'unting if the gemmen go it first.'" </i><br /> <br />Many a time since then has the same sermon been preached to deaf ears, and in these latter days those pretty little deaf ears have gleamed beneath the brim of a glossy feminine hat . . . - but here in terror I let fall my pen! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">At one time there was no one of more authority in hunting and horsy circles than LORD COMBERMERE. What he did not know about a horse, of any kind, might safely be disregarded altogether. And he was no less remarkable for the genial courtesy of his manner than for his universal knowledge in matters of sport. He was also the father of Lady Alexander Paget, of whom more anon. Where Lord Combermere was, you might commonly expect to see Mr. POOLE, who was his constant companion and friend - a sort of <i>fidus Achates</i>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The brother of the first Lord Tollernache, of Peckforton Castlc, and therefore a member of a leading Cheshire family, few men in his time were better known, both in Cheshire and Leicestershire, as brilliant and daring riders to hounds. <br />In the latter days of his life, while living at Dorfold, he was a rather infrequent attendant of the chase, but when out he seemed by instinct to take his natural place alongside of the leading hound, or <i>by 'r lady</i> a few strides in advance, and not seldom immediately followed in the second place by his daughter, Miss Alice Tollemache, to both of whom nothing in the way of timber or water seemed to come amiss. Somehow, on thc present occasion, Miss Tollemache has dropped out of the picture. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Mr. COURT, as his dress and mount indicate, was no less celebrated as a rider of steeplechases than with hounds. Indeed, at one part of his life he might almost be said to farm the then Tarporley Races. Being a light-weight, he always rode thorough-bred horses, mostly of his own breeding, and was more than a match for the others on hunters pure and simple. Still he was a genuine supporter of the Hunt, and had always foxes in his gorse and hospitality in his house. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Three rare old specimens of the true Cheshire breed; albeit the family of one of the three had migrated originally from Yorkshire, and another lived just over the border in Lancashire. Still they were all three members of Tarporley, and of just the Cheshire type, keen sportsmen, delighting in hunting, and real, warm-hearted country gentlemen. Hear our friend "Farmer Dobbin" - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i> "I see Squoir Geffey Shakerley, the best un o' the breed,<br /> His smoiling feace tould plainly how the sport wi' him agreed;"</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and again —<br /><i> "Eh! what a mon be Dixon John, of Astle Haw, Esquoir, <br /> You wudna foind, and measure him, his marrow in the shoir."</i><br /><br /> True, for no less famous for his stature was Mr. Dixon, than for the generous warmth of nature. <br /><br /> Each of these three worthies has left good and true descendants. Two of them, Colonel G. SHAKERLEY and Sir HUMPHREY, do not reside in the County, but all of them still take a warm interest in Cheshire hunting. <br /><br /> Colonel Dixon, the third, is in all respects a thorough country gentleman, useful in all public affairs of his County, Chairman of the County Council, but with always good foxes in his coverts at Astle, ready for the hounds if they can catch them. </span></div>
