THE BILLESDON HUNT. 



23 



winter's home, kindly assist by walking 

 puppies ; but more than that, the prosper- 

 ous agriculturists join heartily and cheer- 

 fully In the good cause. This Is the more 

 to be appreciated. Inasmuch as It has never 

 been the custom, since the days of Mey- 

 nell, with very few exceptions, for the 

 farmers of Leicestershire to contribute 

 their good services after this fashion, till 

 the accession of Mr Tallby. 



The names of those who have so 

 effectively lent their aid to the good cause 

 are worthy to be recorded, and I only 

 regret not being able to supply them from 

 an earlier date.
