When Mr. George Templer, of Stover, parted with his big pack to the Rev. H. F. Yeatman, in the early part of 1826, Russell and Templer paid him a visit at Stock House, near Sher- borne ; when, under his inauguration, the Black- moor Vale country was first established. To entertain his friends, whether indoors or out of doors a felicitous gift he possessed beyond ordinary mortals Mr. Yeatman ordered out his own famous pack of harriers (which, by-the-by, were dwarf fox-hounds, as perfect in shape... as THE REV. JOHN RUSSELL. 123 they were in work), and showed them a capital day's sport ; when the hare was sinking, Rus- sell, to save her, put his horse at a chained gate, rode over it, and picked up the hare in front of the hounds. Nearly fifty years after that event, Mr. Digby, of Sherborne Castle, finding himself in company with Russell at, I believe, Lord Polti- more's house in Dorsetshire, asked him if he remembered the first time they met in the hunting-field ? " Perfectly well, " replied Russell; " it was with dear old Yeatman's hounds in 1826 ; the first time Templer and I stayed with him at Stock House.
