— Charles Payne, who hunted Sir Watlun Wynn's hounds for nearly twenty years after he had hunted the Pytchley in Northamptonshire for about the same time, has resigned. Charley was presented with £1400 and a silver horn. In „ acknowledging the present, he said that in forty years' hunting he had assisted in killing 5000 foxes. To see Charles' Payne lift the bitch pack on to a fox at Crick on a Wednesday, to get the beauties clear of "- the crowd, was a treat worth j .living for. And what a horseman he was! I remember him jumping a five-barred hand-gato on the swing when ho had one arm in a sliug, from a bad fall over a hog-backed stile. — " Warrior," in writing of horses likely to win liig eVeht's, mentions among others Martini-Henri, and is surprised that English brooders should havo allowed Musket to loavo that country. "Warrior" possibly does not know that when Musket was leased, for life at Lord Glasgow's sale, English ]3eople did not dream of the horse leaving England, rieith.eiv r t,were they used to the leasing "^b'f 'liprrfes-;; but ''Mr Thomas Ttus.sell, --with 'his usual i.^le v^oines.s, saw through the crotchety olcUjJjorcfs'.wjhiitn, and leased this grand performer afea^lbw,'- rate. I think in years to/couie, like i^hei^tjif in Australia, this horse K^^ leave his mark^and often will be hoard the M^g&p, a 'long-distance race has been,, won -^ind'or heavy weights j "Ah, that's the Musket Wood !"
