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 I90I.] IN MEMORIAM — CECIL BOYLE. 259 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 26o BAILY S MAGAZINE. [April 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-
