THE BRANDYWINE 



Mr. Mather insists that they shall be thoroughbred, his brood-mares being 

 Irish hunters which he has himself imported. 



It is perhaps unnecessary to say that the hunting establishment is, and 

 always has been, maintained at the Master's expense, being his personal 

 property, and it is worthy of note here that the best packs in America, as 

 in England, are those maintained by private individuals, where the Master- 

 ship is not changing from time to time.
