ROYAL ROCK BEAGLE HUNT. 



A few remarks on Rules lo and 17 will be taken in good part by those 

 members who may be conscious of not giving them the attention they 

 deserve. 



The late Colonel King always made a point of being the first member 

 to pay his subscription ; he invariably handed it to the treasurer at the annual 

 meeting. This is an example for all Royal Rock Beaglers to follow at a 

 respectful distance. 



Various reasons make it important that members should wear the 

 uniform on all occasions when out with their own hounds, but particularly 

 so in their own country. The farmers in AVirral, especially at the northern 

 extremity, are annoyed by frequent transits of runners over their farms, and 

 through and over their fences. There are numerous so-called harrier clubs 

 and paper chasers from Birkenhead and Liverpool, who may be said to infest 

 this country ; and although we should not grudge to these young men the 

 enjoyment of their healthy exercise, yet we should take care that our sport 

 is not mistaken for a game of " hare and hounds." Our green coats and 

 white breeches can be identified at a great distance, and our worthy friends 

 the farmers have their minds set at rest when they see us approaching. 



On a recent occasion Mr. Webster, of Upton, complained to our 



Master, that his grounds had been invaded by a lot of fellows who said they 



were the R.R.B., but as none of them wore the uniform, he was uncertain 



wliether they were the drag hounds or a hare and hounds lot. This was 



one of the Wednesday meets, at which members have got into the habit of 



appearing in mtifti, althougli the Master sets a good example by always 



himself wearing the uniform, but on this day he was not present.
