ACHIEVEMENTS. 231 



[Some further conversation here took place among the 

 members of the club relative to the decrease of game 

 in pastoral districts. This discussion, however, we 

 are urged to pass over, with a view of conducting our 

 readers along with Messrs. Wandle-weir and Herl- 

 broke, after their departure from Eoss-shire. Their 

 success among the streams and lakes of that county 

 was fully as great as they had anticipated, although 

 the weather encountered by them was not of the de- 

 scription which the angler reckons most favourable. 

 About the commencement of September, and a fortnight 

 previous to the time when the waters north of the Tweed 

 are closed up, we discover our lately installed brethren of 

 the wand among the mountainous regions of Strath-Glass, 

 descending which, they shortly afterwards reach Inver- 

 ness, and strike onward from thence into Morayshire. 

 We must, however, give the conclusion of their angling 

 adventures in Mr. Wandle-weir's own words.] 



We had now arrived (continued he) at the Find- 

 horn, where it passes under the bridge of Dulsie. 

 Much as I have witnessed of river scenery, my 

 recollections are unable to call up any continued 

 stretch of bold decorations, equal to what is pos- 

 sessed by this noble stream. From the Streens to 

 the Suspension-bridge near Forres, a distance, fol- 

 lowing its course, of not less than fifteen miles, one 

 unbroken chain of magnificent landscape is presented. 

 With a body of water sufficiently large to attract 

 attention, the Findhorn makes its way betwixt masses 

 of rock, imposing, equally from their height, their 

 form, and their distribution. Trees, the skirts of a 

 forest, old and fantastic, peer over its parapets
