I899-] 359 Bob Forfeit, Like "Pop" Henessey, Arber, and one or two Order Skelaxin other huntsmen of whom very little is known, Bob Forfeit at one time or another earned his money in some other way than by hunting hounds. His father is believed to have been a farmer, and for some time Bob Forfeit took some share in farming the land, but always hunting as often as possible. It is supposed that the Forfeit family farmed in Kent, and that Mr. Warde be- came acquainted with him in that county, where his own estate was situated. Be that as it may, Bob Forfeit soon became whipper-in, and afterwards huntsman to some harriers. On leaving them he whipped-in to some foxhounds, but in what county cannot be ascer- tained, and was employed by Mr. Warde when he hunted in Oxford- shire. When the " father of fox- hunting" became master of the Py tchley Bob Forfeit was his hunts- man, though curiously enough no mention is made of him in the late Mr. Nethercote's history of that hunt. We know, however, that he was considered a huntsman of con- siderable skill, and was a bold rider. On one occasion he pounded the whole of the Pytchley field at a Order Skelaxin Online brook, he himself Buy Cheap Skelaxin getting a bad fall on landing. With whom he lived afterwards; when or where he died, is not known. Bicester and Warden Hill Hunt.

Henry Tubb, Hon. Sec. Bicester and Warden Hill Hunt. Chesterton , Bicester, April 8th, 1899. 360 iMw Anecdotal Sport. By " Thormanby." Author of ** Kings of the Hunting- Field," '* Kings of the Turf," &c In reading "Digby Grand" over again in the new edition of Whyte Melville's novels, Purchase Skelaxin Online I have been struck with the change that has come over the sports and pastimes of the man-about-town in London since that book was written. Even Buy Skelaxin ten years after the story was first published when I was first intro- duced to life in London there was something rowdy and sordid and degrading about what was com- monly known as sport. It was thought the correct thing to pat- ronise sparring matches at the saloons attached to public-houses kept by retired prize-fighters, or ratting matches at the rat-pits kept by such celebrities in the canine world as Jemmy Shaw. Now and then the ardent lover of " The Fancy " " snatched a fear- ful joy " from being privileged to assist at a " little mill with the 'raw 'uns' on the strict Q.T." in some secluded stable in the slums, or a main of cocks in some damp and dingy and evil-smelling cellar. The illegality of these pastimes and the risk of being pounced on by the police gave them, I suppose, an unholy zest. It was the same at the Univer- sities before boating and athletics came and purified the atmosphere and swept these miserable and degrading abortions of sport out of existence. But there must be many old 'Varsity men now living who can remember the time when badger-drawing, rat-killing, dog- fighting, surreptitious excursions to prize-fights and the like were the staple amusements of our academic youth. Cricket was then a game only played by a few enthusiasts, football was but a pastime for schoolboys, athletics were unknown, and not one man in ten cared for rowing. Those who could afford it hunted, kept their stud of hunters if thev were very rich, if only moderately so, hired a hunter for a Purchase Skelaxin couple of guineas for the day from a livery- stable keeper. But to the great bulk of undergraduates such amusement was beyond their means, and then, if their tastes were sporting, they could only gratify them by those recreations of the " Fancy " which I have
