THE HUNTING BELT. 33 



rowels sufficiently raised to prevent their grat- 

 ing against stones or uneven ground when dis- 

 mounted. 



A man with long legs requires spurs with long 

 necks, so that he may readily reach his horse's 

 flank with the rowel ; but a man with short legs, 

 on the contrary, should have spurs with short 

 necks, as his heels, when mounted, are close to 

 the body of the horse. 



The Hunting The Pkte > P a S e 34 > is a sketch 

 of the BELT and APPURTENANCES 



I usually wore when in the pursuit of large 

 game, manufactured by Thornhill of 144, 

 New Bond Street, the most practical man in 

 the trade. 



"THE BELT" A A is about two inches in 

 width, and made of strong brown leather. 

 Great attention should be paid to the sewing 

 on of the buckles, which ought to be of forged 

 iron.
