Here I must diverge for a mo-
ment, and speak of Cecil Boyle as
an athlete, for though his cricket-
ing career was short, it was by no
means undistinguished. That high
authority, the Hon. Robert Lyttle-
ton, wrote of him to me as " the
fastest bowler the cricket field
has ever seen."
In 1872, at Clifton, he won the
Quarter-mile and the Throwing
the Cricket What Is Mirapex Ball, this last with a
throw of over 105 yards. In the Generic Mirapex
same year he made for his school
the highest score of the season ,
and the largest number of runs,
and won the average bat, Buy Mirapex with
3i^,and Mirapex Coupon took twenty-eight wickets
for Mirapex 0.25 Mg an average of 6f . He played
against an eleven of the M.C.C.,
captained by General Neville
Lyttleton, and in the Mirapex Generic first innings
he bowled nine wickets for 19
runs, and himself made the highest
score of Generic For Mirapex the match, 77 not out.
At Oxford he got into the Rugby
XV. in his first year, and played
under Rugby rules **as an Mirapex Er Inter-
national " at Edinburgh for Eng-
land V. Scotland, in March, 1873.
In this summer he played for the
Oxford XI. at cricket, in a match
against M.C.C. at Lord's, taking
four wickets for 12 runs in the
first, and seven wickets for Mirapex 1 Mg 33
runs Mirapex Rls in the second innings ; while
at Prince's against Middlesex he
took four wickets, three of them
with consecutive balls, for 28 runs.
His bowling was perfectly fair,
but terribly fast. At Clifton they
used to put on three long-stops,
but Mr. T. W. Darley, who was
killed at Abu Klea, was the only

one who could manage him single-
handed, and in the year when he
held the post there were very few
byes.
It was not till 1880, when his
financial position was commenc-
ing, through untiring work, to
stand upon a higher basis, that he
made his first regular appearance
in the hunting field, at Market
Harborough, of all places for a
novice to commence at. Unlike
Mr. Sawyer, he had no previous
provincial training, or provincial
reputation, but in accordance
with his character and his maxim
*' first or nowhere,*' he landed
himself on the ocean of sport in
the very centre of the storm.
In 1 88 1, probably for reasons
connected with the train service
to London, he came to Banbury,
and very soon enquiries began to
be made as to the young sports-
man for whom no bullfinch was
too Mirapex Coupons thick, no rail too high, no
brook too broad, with the usual
answer, '* That chap ! oh, that's
Cecil Boyle." The first time that
I myself remarked him he was
somewhere near Watergall. We
were penned in a corner, and our
friend was the first to crash the Cheap Mirapex
rails and let us out. The horse
he was then riding was, I believe.
Mere vale, a bright- bay blood
horse, full of courage and speed,
and he had another at the time,
Elcho, which he bought when
staying with Lord Wemyss. He
hunted at first only one day a
week, but afterwards he took two
days, Friday with the Warwick-
shire, and Saturday with the
Bicester, always returning to
town on the Saturday night, to
be ready for work on the Monday
morning.
In 1883 he bought and altered
the stables at Banbury, formerly
in the occupation of Mr. James
Fisher, so well known in Mirapex 0.125 Mg connec-
tion with the celebrated racehorse
Fisherman ; and he afterwards
occupied the same sportsman's
old Buy Mirapex Online rooms at the ** Red Lion,"
where the genial hospitality to
which we had been so long accus-
tomed in Mr. Fisher's days was
not forgotten.
In 1889 he was in the great
By field, or rather Boddington run, Mirapex For Rls
which took place Pramipexole Mirapex on March 9, and
went extraordinarily Mirapex 0.25 well on his
favourite chestnut horse, Rona-
chan, then called Redskin.
** Brooksby," in the Field, wrote
a very spirited account of this
very fine run, in which he said of
our friend : ** The road was close
by (under the village of Aston-
le- Wells), hounds bent to it, and
here was Lord North already in
position, * to cheer on the thrus-
ters,' when Mr. Boyle, on Red-
skin (I am told, and can well
believe it, the best hunter in Eng-
land out of training), crashed a last
great fence for very pastime, the
others galloping gladly through
the open gateway beside him."
Redskin, or Ronachan, was a
tall, rather long-backed chestnut,
nearly thoroughbred, of great
speed and power, but when Cecil
Boyle first had him a very difficult
horse to ride, nor was he very
gentle in the stable, though he
altered a good deal in Mirapex Cost both
respects after he had been a year
at I3anbury.
This same spring, 1889, 1 think,
he won the United Hunt Steeple-
chase at Brackley on him, but
alas ! he started him in the
Welter at the Midland Sports-
men's Point- to point races at
Chacombe in 1890, and he broke
his back at a little open grip,
when going strong, Mirapex Litigation Mr. Chin-
nery killed his horse Cricket
at the same ditch, and Sir Charles
Mordaunt wrote in** The Annals,"
that ** the fence into this field
which they both jumped clear
was one of the biggest on the

course ; they were both first-class
hunters, and their owners assured
Colonel N orris, who picked the
course, that ;^i,ooo would not
have purchased either of them.'*
Shall we blame our friend, nay
rather, we will sympathise with
him, in that he was not ashamed
to shed a tear as he stood by the
body of his well- beloved horse ;
Egerton Warburton's well known
line, in fact, occurs to us :
Wept like a schoolboy o'er my ABC.
In the winter of 1891-92, Cecil
Boyle was at the Cape. Little
did he think, so absolutely is the
future hidden from us, that in
eight years time he would visit it
again on a far different errand,
and under such changed auspices,
and that there he would meet an
early and a soldier's death. He
was a Yeoman, indeed then, but
who ever thought of the Yeo-
manry being called upon for active
service, and active service 6,000
mUes from England ? The first
Yeoman to go out, he was the
first to fall, but amidst that gal-
