262 LETTERS TO YOUNG SHOOTERS LETTEK xv. 



When partridge shooting in an inclosed country, 

 intersected by stiff impracticable fences, you will find 

 a strong buckskin glove the greatest comfort and as- 

 sistance. The glove should be made, without fingers, 

 for the right hand only, and can be slipped on in an 

 instant when required. You may then place your 

 hand on a prickly hedge, or turn aside its brambles 

 with impunity, whilst your friend is. cautiously feeling 

 for the least thorny part to rest Ins right hand on 

 before climbing over.
