The Hambledon. — This hunt is to make an effort to revive hunting in that part of their country which borders on the Hursley. Prac- tically, hounds seldom come there, and when they do it is an open secret that they do not always find. If the members of the hunt will turn back to the Sporting Review of 1841 they will find this was not always so, and that Dapoxetine For Sale in Mr. King's time much good sport was shown in that country. Mr. Baring has very liberally offered to restore the Wednesday meeting places, even if it should be neces- sary to add another day a week to the present number of hunting days, and this suggestion has met with warm approval. No doubt, the more a country is hunted the more foxes there are, and the V.D. hopes it may be so in this case. The Hambledon is an old hunt, with a long history, and its success must always be of interest to sportsmen. It was some- hing of a novelty that the Ham- bledon ladies, who are rather noted riders, had a point-to-point of their own at the close of the season, not only entering their own horses but riding. The Meynell. — The suggestion made in Baily a short time back for a valuation of the poultry within the limit of ^ hunt before the season begins, seems to have been timely. I was writing then from my knowledge of the sums paid by one or two hunts, but the Meynell accounts lately published establish a record. The foxes, which have consumed nearly 10,000 fowls, ought to be in good condition, but all the foxes of which I have knowledge are con- tent with much humbler fare as a rule, though no doubt an occa- sional fowl or pheasant does not come amiss. At the same time, it must not be forgotten that more poultry, and those of a more valu- able kind than ever before, are now reared in England, and com- mittees will have to Buy Dapoxetine Uk make distinc- tions between fancy fowls and the ordinary barn-door hen. Hunting finance is becoming a very difficult matter, for damage funds have greatly increased. I have the original balance sheet of a cele- brated hunt in the Midlands dated 1786, in my possession, and I note that damage amounted only to j£*3 3s. in a total of some £700. Staghounds.*— The Devon and Somerset have taken over 130 stags and hinds, without counting those killed by Sir John Amory's hounds, the largest number ever killed in one season. This is the Buy Dapoxetine Hydrochloride result of a very successful year,and shows how fine a stock of deer there must be on Exmoor. The At hers tone.— Mr. Gerald Hardy has been again unlucky in getting a nasty fall over a strand of wire which has deprived him of the close of his season. He has provided such good sport for •899-1 " OUR VAN II 379 others that it is always a matter of regret when he is unable to share it himself. The V.D. has not been at Arley Village for many years, and then the errand was to find a fox-terrier of which the rector had such a celebrated strain in the sons of Buffer, one of the gamest of the game. An out- lying fox which jumped up close in front of hounds, but making the best of his way to Arley Wood, went to ground. After this vari- ous foxes were hunted about till hounds forced a fresh fox out of Wilkinson Wood. This is in that woodland county of the Ather- stone that a hunting man of by- gone days has said is so delightful to the sportsman's eye. It carries a fair scent, and the day was good, for hounds were only once checked and ran at a pace that tried even April condition in our horses. Their fox went to ground in the main earths at Hartshill Hayes, which were of course open. The South Notts.— The Ather- stone's neighbours finished up the season with a novel entertainment. After the point-to-point they had a paper chase to Oxton Park, two men and two ladies acting Dapoxetine Australia as hares. Lord Rothschild's Staghounds. — Wednesday, March 15th, found this popular pack at Mentmore Cross Roads, the occasion a repe- tition of the excellent sport they have shown throughout the sea- son, though I am sorry to say Mr. Leopold de Rothschild met with a Dapoxetine Hci very serious accident dur- ing the gallop, the remarkable co- incidence being that he was riding Buy Cheap Dapoxetine the same horse as on the previous occasion that he came to grief. He uncarted his stag at Wingrave, and a fourteen- mile point occupied Dapoxetine Trial Pack hounds for an hour and a half after they were laid on, a beautiful line of country being crossed to Rousham, Aston Abbotts and Norduck, the famous Creslow being touched ere hounds sank the hill to North Marston, the valley below the Denham Hills being traversed to Lower Hogshaw. Running parallel to the Metropolitan Railway by Claydon Road to Addington they got on better terms with their quarry, and turning into Padbury re-captured him in the village at Mr.ChaprmwTs house, theheroesof the hour being Mr. Gerald Pratt and Mr. E. P. Saunders, who held the pride of place during the latter portion of the gallop, and in fact, had shut up the deer before the remainder of the field, fifteen all told, arrived. The following day was selected for the retaking of the outlying deer which had beaten hounds about three weeks previously near Buckingham, and Boore took nine couples of hounds to Mr. Coates' farm at Hillesden. The animal had not been harboured very successfully, hence the opening proceedings of the day were not very interesting, for a great deal of country was drawn before the welcome holloa was heard which told that he had been roused from his lair near Stocking Wood. Boore galloped his pack to the spot, and they un- fortunately took up heelway, so that a few minutes were lost ere they tackled to work. However, when they did there was no mis- take about it, and a charming line of grass was traversed by Len- borough to the London and North Western Railway, along which hounds coasted to Buckingham, and their followers were obliged to make a detour by the station to effect a crossing of the line, find- ing that the pack had secured a strong lead of them by the time Benthill Farm was reached. Twice this stag soiled in the river Ouse before he worked out a
