The Buckhounds hailing from Berkhampstead... are still having clinking sport, and John Rawle, or genial Jack, as he is generally called, making hunting circles ring with the name of the B. B. H. Theyve had some good sport in the Aylesbury Vale this season, both with fox and stag. As poor Whyte-Melville used to sing about the celebrated Rothschild venison packs- Now heres to the Baron and all his supporters, The thrusters, the skirters, and all of the tale; And heres to the fairest of all hunting quarters, The widest of pastures - three cheers for the Vale. (North Devon Journal, Mar 1880).
