3 1 2 Conclusion. 



The title of my book confined me to fox- 

 hunting, or I should have enjoyed relating the 

 good sport I have seen in the Vale with the stag- 

 hounds, where everything has been so well 

 conducted for so many years by the de Rothschild 

 family. I have always thought that the stag 

 makes, as a rule, better lines than the fox, one 

 reason being that you can place the deer in the 

 best part of the Vale, when he is bound to take a 

 good line ; and another is that the stag is hunted 

 by a wonderful pack of hounds. 



I cannot close this book without expressing 

 great thankfulness for the number of years allotted 

 to me, with health and strength, to enjoy fox- 

 hunting; and I hope my readers will join me in 

 wishing success to the noble sport, which has 

 been well termed '' The Sport of Kings." 



The End.
