Manuscript diary, probably kept by William Wycliffe Barlow, recording the author's fox hunts in Cheshire between 1884 and 1887. There is an entry for each day on which the diarist hunted. Most entries include the name of the horse ridden by the writer, a description of the climatic conditions, kills (if any), and whether or not the writer fell. Also sometimes noted are the names of persons in the hunting party, hunt locations, distances covered, and the performance of the horse. The horse most frequently mentioned is Cracksman, who appears to be the diarist's favorite. Other horses named include Jerry and Twickenham. There is a record of Jerry having been purchased in May 1884, and both appear to have been sold at the end of the 1885-1886 season. - Subject Terms:
