 generally finds us a hare, but they are not so plentiful as we should like them 

 to be, and we sometimes draw blank on that side. 



Mr. H.-VRRISON, of the Plymyard, affords us two or three meets during 

 the season, and we never fail to find a hare on the remains of the famous 

 old forty-acre field on which his house is built, and which has been from time 

 immemorial known as a favourite lying place for hares. Mr. Harrison knows 

 our weakness for a comfortable tea after hunting, and always treats us most 

 hospitably when we meet at the Plymyard.
