EARL OF LONSDALE His shooting at home has been in the main confined to deerstalking and grouse, the grouse- drives at Lowther, in which both the German Emperor and Crown Prince have so often taken part, being celebrated for the admirable manner in which the birds are shown in spite of the difficulties of undulating ground. Another sport at Lowther is otter-hunting, and Lord Lonsdale, when at home, hunts regularly every summer. He also takes the greatest interest in the sheep-dog trials which ev...oke so much enthusiasm in the men of the fells, and gives every encouragement to this form of sport, both in the Park at Lowther and elsewhere on the countryside. Coursing with lurchers is another favourite sport, when not hunting, at both Barley Thorpe and Lowther, and one of which he has made long and careful study. Further, he is equally in his element on the water, for, besides having done a deal of rowing, he directed the sailing of the German Emperors Meteor II. With a success that is chronicled in the annals of the Royal Yacht Squadron, Of that Club, as also of the Royal Portsmouth, Royal Southampton, Thames, Dorset, Royal Victoria, and Royal Corinthian, he is a prominent member, and his enthusiasm for yachting and for the promotion of the best interests of the sport, would, to any one listening to him discussing the subject, suggest that he had no other recreation.
