About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: dare (Ireland), the Duke of Buccleuch's, and the Earl of Eglinton's (Scotland) hunt four days. A very large number, of course, meet three days, and a few packs of fox-hounds in less-favored districts and practically all the stag-hounds hunt only twice each week, so that three would probably be the fair average figure of weekly runs. The average number of mounts at the meets is not so easily estimated; in the shires 500 is not unusual in J. S.

But there is only one Exmoor and one pack of real stag-hunting hounds in England. The Ward Union, in the Meath country, and her Majesty's, and Lord de Kothschild's are the most prominent of the other stag-hounds, and attract about equally in number of following, which would be that between the shires and the more popular provinces; in the best of the latter, 200 is not an infrequent field and 100 an average. While few meets in England fail to bring out 100 horsemen ...
