country ninneis ; iliey enjoy tlie IiumiiiL; of the hounds on slow-luinling days, 



and only long for ihe rare days when a good straight run gives thcni a chance 



of loading the field. 



\\'iiat l)itiiig thoughts 

 Torment th'abandon'd crew ; old age l.inuiils 

 His vigour spent ; the tall, plump, brawny youtii 

 Curses his cumbrous bulk ; and envies now 

 The short pygmean race he whilomc kenn'd 

 With proud insulting leer. A chosen few 

 Alone the sport enjoy, nor drooj) beneath 

 Their pleasing toil. — Suiiicrvilc. 



We once had a member wlio paid his subscription for two seasons, and 

 alihough he lives in Liverpool, yet he never to this day has seen the hounds. 

 In niercv let us withhold his name.

Curiosities of the above List. 

 T. B. Newton's years of membership alone nearly equal the united years 

 of tlie whole of the junior lialf of the club. 



The united rears of member- 



ship of the len senior members nearly equal the united years of the wliole 

 of the other Tifty members ; the average standing of the first being twenty 

 years, and ofjthe others four years. Only seventeen members are of over 

 ten years' standing. More than half the members reside at Oxton, Claugh- 

 ton, or Birkenhead; only seventeen are dispersed about the Hundred of 

 Wirral, the others mostly coming from the Liverpool side of the river.
