. The best of the fun, 1891-1897. Horses; Hunting; Fox hunting. THE QUORN UNDER LORD LONSDALE 305 was Tom Firr. Coming, as I did, a pilgrim to a hallowed land, I may be pardoned if I gazed with some curiosity upon a familiar face in a new setting. Relevantly or otherwise, the idea now given me was that of an old picture hung in a new frameâa chef d'mivre by an old master redecorated and hung in an exhibition of works by new masters. That Tom Firr fitted his framing goes. â *MHi*'' A hog-maned steeplechaser without saying. But Tom Firr, leathered as to the legs, hung with swan-necked spur, crossed with a stirrup-strap, and mounted (superbly mounted) on a hog-maned steeple- chaser with a long tail, made up a total that to my mind would best be set down as Tom Firr en aspic. It is need- less, also, to add that Tom Firr forgot his casement as readily as he ever ignores his swamping field directly hounds run, and directly business is about. Indeed, busi- ness has ever been Firr's engrossing principle, and to this he owes half of his incomparable success. U.
