107 APPENDIX. 



having found out tlie short-comings ()f your swell London man. go to 

 Messrs. Thomas Southam & Sons, of Wyle Cop, and you will find all 

 that you require — at least Borderer does. If you want to sell horses 

 or carriages try Messrs. Hall, Wateridge & Owen. If you want to 

 sell or buy sheep, cattle, or f aiming stock, where can you find the 

 superiors of Messrs. Lythall, Mansell & Walters ? If you want to 

 hire a hunter for a gallop in Shropshire, Mr. Franklin, at the 'Kaven,' 

 takes pains to supply you. If you want to furnish a new house, and 

 reside in the County, or indeed if you want a house, furniture, or 

 anything appertaining thereto, you cannot do better than go to tho^e 

 civil, obliging tradesmen, Messrs. Blower, of Pride Hill. While in 

 the matters of books and stationery, Messrs. Adnit & Xaunton. in the 

 Square, are equal to the occasion. In second-hand literature 

 (especially in Borderer's unfortunate first series of Hunting Notes) 

 Mr. Bennett of Mardol has all you want. Mr. C. A. Partridge, of 

 Ludlow, is quite A L in every clepartment, but makes a specialty of 

 his sporting books — the best editions. Of local thoroughbred sires I 

 am pleased to say that we can turn out some that will do hon(jur to 

 Shropshire. Eead the pedigrees and performances of those that 

 appear in the following pages, Linnaeus. Polardine and Traveller, and 

 if you are not eager to start breeding hunters Borderer will be 

 astonished. If you want a thoroughly good sporting paper free from 

 cant and humbug order forthwith - Horse and Hounds." No country 

 gentleman can Invest 2d per week to greater advantage. The 

 Shrewsbury racecourse under its new management needs patronage 

 and encouragement. The plan of the property will show h(jw many 

 capabilities "it has and how anxious its managers are to fall in with 

 the sporting views of the town and county of Salop. 



There is some affinity. I suppose, between the Ludlow Dhu Stone 

 and those disagreeable"^ things called corns. Anyhow ^Ir. Alfred 

 Marston, of Ludlow% claimslo have a sovereign remedy. 'J'ry it 

 My univerml i^rovidcr list is not yet exhausted. The illustrations of 

 this book deserve a word or two. The portraits have been engraved 

 fromphotos by a new process, which would appear to be capalile of 

 giving all the softness and delicacy of the finest steel plate engravings. 

 I recently saw some wash drawings, paintings, engravings, c^c. which 

 for delicacy of finish left nothing to be desired. This process is 

 worked by* the Meisenbach Co.. Limited. 31. Farringdon Street, 

 London. E.C. — as have also Mr. H. F. Mytton's sketches.
