The South pack, which Mr.
Reginald Corbet hunts, have had
some capital sport, too, notably
one gallop from those Wrenbury
Mosses which the old whipper-in,
Tom Ranee, declared held the
straightest - necked foxes in
Cheshire. From Cholmondeley
Castle, too, where Lord Cholmon-

coverts, they had a fair day early
in the month.
The Heythrop. — In the pro-
gramme of a visit to Oxford in
the November term, a day with
the Heythrop and the Bicester
cannot be forgotten. So many
recollections and Ethambutol 400 Mg associations
gather round these hunts. The
years seem to fall away as one
rattles over the stones of Oxford
(there are still some stones left
, even with a tramway in the High
I Ethambutol Mg aad electric light laid on in
the colleges) in the misty air of a
November morning. At the end
of two days* sport one feels that
bunting at least has not changed,
! and a gallop from Badger's Gorse
with the Heythrop is just as good
as in the days when Squire Hall
hunted them — Ethambutol 800 Mg I think he always
did so in a tall hat— or Goodall
wore the green plush. With
Mr. Albert Brassey as master and
Captain Daly as Ethambutol Ocular Toxicity deputy, the
^wt goes on with all the old
enjoyment. There are fewer
j undergraduates who hunt than
there used to be, but those who
do go out enjoy themselves quite
I as much as we did. The best
sport of the week's visit was
a gallop from Bletchington with
the Bicester. Lords Valentia and
Jersey were both out, and no two
n»n have done more for Ethambutol Cost the
country than they have : Lord
Valentia one of the Ethambutol Price popular masters
in the past and Lord Jersey as one
of the most generous landowners.
Mdton. — The hunts round
Melton naturally feel the effect
of the war more than any other,
and the list of absentees is a very
long one. The last to go were
Lord and Lady Henry Bentinck,
who have gone to South Africa in
the service of the Red Cross.
They had intended to hunt from
Somerby. This place, by Ethambutol Hydrochloride the
way, has been growing in popu-
larity of later years, and it is
doubtful whether there are many
more convenient centres to hunt
from. Situated within the borders
of the Cottesmore, it commands
the best of the Belvoir and the
Quom.
From Mr. Fernie's country
comes the news that the master
is to be married to Miss £. Hard-
castle. No couple will start mar-
ried life with more kind wishes
than the very popular master of
the South Quorn and his bride.
The bride's father, Mr. Hard-
castle, of Blaston, is a well-
known covert owner and fox pre-
server in the hunt. As I write,
I hear that one or two more men
are likely to leave us, as the War
OfHce has been offering cavalry
commissions to some yeomanry
officers.
The QaoFn. — This famous pack
has had ups and downs of luck
in their sport, scent at times
being very poor and then again
serving well. The Quorn pack
and their huntsman have one
most valuable quality, that of
sticking to their hunted fox, and
that in spite of considerable temp-
tations to change. This power
or will to hold to the line of the
hunted fox is one that is hard to
establish in a pack, and very easy
indeed to lose. Hounds are quite
willing to change, if they are
encouraged to do so. On the
second Friday in November those
of their followers who were near
enough to watch, Ethambutol 1200 Mg or observant

enough to care, saw the Quorn
disregard a fresh fox while hunt-
ing Buy Ethambutol one found in Gartree Hill,
round by Burrough Village. This
run afterwards developed in
a good and fairly fast hunt, by
Somerby to the Overton Road in
the Cottesmore country. Close
to Bucrough-on-the-Hill a fresh
fox jumped up ; only two couple
or so yielded to temptation,
the rest of the pack working
steadily on, on the original line.
Another event in the Quorn his-
tory of the month was the meet
at Ashby. For more than fifty
years the Quorn have never met
at Ashby, and the Rural District
Council celebrated the event by a
breakfast in the town hall. Cap-
tain Burns- Hartopp had readily
consented to the request of the
townspeople to meet in the market-
place, and the result was a success
in every way, for not only was
there a crowd of pleased spec-
tators, but hounds had a very
smart twenty minutes from one of
the neighbouring coverts.
Mp. Femie's. — For some reason
or other Burton Overy, which
used to be a quiet meeting place,
has attracted of late a regular
crowd ; in fact, it seems to divide
the aflfections of the Leicester
people with Scraptoft. From
Burton Overy to Glen Gorse is
no long distance. That there
should be foxes in this covert is a
marvel to me, for it is close to
the road and generally surrounded
on hunting days by a more or
less noisy crowd of foot-people.
Nevertheless, it is the exception
for this famous covert to be drawn
blank. Not only are there foxes,
but they generally manage to get
away. The fox took a Ethambutol Tablets beautiful
line by Overy to Ethambutol Optic Neuropathy Little Stretton,
but scent was very bad. Later a
Thurnby fox took a usual line to .
Scraptoft. Hounds were over the
border and into the Quorn country.
