12. CLuMP AT BACK OF STABLES. 
This has been well thinned so as to get the specimen trees to 
feather low, with a view to hide the stables from the road and 
other places. The fence round the clump might be removed with 
advantage. 
13. STABLES AND Gas-HOoUwsE. 
The stable yard is very much exposed towards the church, and 
to the roads to the Hall, and as the buildings are without architec- 
tural pretensions, it is desirable to screen them by planting nine 
or ten trees at the spots indicated by the pegs in the ground. The 
young lime trees around the moat, which appear to have been 
planted to hide the old houses, so beautifully mantled with ivy 
and presenting an extremely picturesque appearance, should be 
transplanted to more suitable places, excepting one or two next the 
gas-house and four or five next the waggon lodge, as pointed out 
to the forester. 
14. TimpeR Yarp AND Haystacks, CARPENTER’s SHOP. 
These should be removed from their present sites, as planting 
them out cannot be recommended, because it would interfere very 
much with a charming view of the landscape across the lake and 
the beautiful scenery beyond. The building now used for a 
carpenter’s shop is old and dilapidated, and from want of room and 
light it is ill adapted for men to work in. It is therefore suggested 
that it should be cleared away and a new one erected as near the 
sawmill, and as much out of view, as possible, taking care to secure 
a convenient site, with sufficient space for storing rough timber. 
If this plan is adopted, the hay can be stacked on or near the site 
of the present carpenter’s shop ; and then there will be no necessity 
to plant trees where the stakes are put in at the back of the stables, 
especially as every tree there planted would interfere very much in 
course of time with the view of much interesting scenery. By the 
removal of these unsightly objects the results would be in every 
way most satisfactory. 
15. Park, NORTH SIDE OF LAKE. 
All along the north side of the lake there is a jumble of fine 
young oak, elm, beech, ete., much too thick for park trees. A
