From the same military family`s Estate, a Superb Study of a Fox in Silver ably capturing the wily animals movement as it leaps in flight over thorn branches on a rocky base and mounted on an ebonised wood plinth, bearing a crested Silver Plaque inscribed ``15th The King`s Hussars Point to Point Race, 14th April,1890, won by Mr. Harcourt Wood`s b.m. ``Rocket``, 6 yrs. Owner purchased with a legacy bequeathed by the late Captain the Honble. A. Manners, 15th Hussars for the first point to point Race of the Regiment in Ireland``. Bearing the stamp, Elkington & Co., maker `F.E.`, London 1889, 4437 gms. approx. 21 3/4`` long overall, 7 3/4`` high (11 7/8`` incl. of plinth). It may be of significance that the bay mare was named `Rocket` in view of the events referred to in the description of the previous lot in respect of the Battle of Leipzig.
