DOVE DALE REVISITED 10$ 



since our last visit ; but sentiment leads to melan- 

 choly, and I came not here to make myself 

 miserable, but to drive dull care away and be 

 happy. 



All this by way of introduction to the charms 

 and the beauties of Dove Dale and the attrac- 

 tions of its lovely river. 1

"THE IZAAK WALTON HOTEL, DOVEDALE, TO BE 

 SOLD BY AUCTION. 



" On Tuesday, July 26th, at 2 p.m., at the Royal 

 Hotel, Derby, Messrs. Knight, Frank & Rutley, of 

 20, Hanover Square, London, will offer by auction, in 

 one or three lots, the beautiful country seat of Ham 

 Hall, Dovedale, with some 1,140 acres, and including 

 the well-known Izaak Walton Hotel, Dovedale Hill and 

 Wood, and the valuable trout and grayling fishing. In 

 connection with this interesting offer by auction a most 

 attractively illustrated brochure, giving views, particulars, 

 and plans, has been got out. A great many readers of 

 the Fishing Gazelle , including the ' Amateur Angler,' 

 who have fished in delightful Dovedale, will be much 

 interested in this announcement. On the first page is 

 given a long extract from a charming brochure, entitled 

 ' An Amateur Angler's Days in Dovedale.' ' 



(This sale did not come off, the reserve price not 

 having been reached in any of the lots. A. A.)
