From the Leaiiniigion Sjja Courier, April Stli : 



We understand that a numerous meeting of gentlemen in eouneetiou witli 

 the Warwickshire hounds took place at the Keimels, Kinetou, on Fi'iday 

 week, when a statement of receipts and disbursements was laid before tliem^ 

 after which we rejoice to state many of our country gentlemen and others- 

 liberally increased their subscriptitms U) meet the heavy expenses incidental 

 to tlu^ proper maintenance of a pack of hounds. This is as it shoidd be. and 

 we hope that tbe gentry and tra<lesmen of the Royal Spa will imitate tlie 

 example. W(! are quite sure that our townsmen cannot be ignorant of the 

 many advantages accruing to Leamington from its proximity to the Hunt. 

 It is. therefore, the duty, as well as tlie interest of those who benefit by the 

 sport, to render all assistance in their power. Wo have experienced unusual 

 pleasure in recording many of the brilliant runs which have invariably 

 characterised the late season under the able and efficient mastership of that 

 higlily esteemed gentleman, R. J. Barnard. Esij. 



One of the most remarkable charaeters belonging' to- 

 the Warwickshire Hunt was the Rev. John Hawkes, of 

 Talton. He once married a couple, christened a baby, had 

 his fortune told, and was in at the deatli of a fox before 

 one o'clock. It is said that the Bishop finally dispensed 

 with his services for killing- rats on Sunday.
