In conclusion, I beg to thank those gentlemen who have 

 many times assisted me in writing accounts of runs, especially 

 Col. Buchanan, Mr. C. T. Couper, Mr. D. Kippen, and the 

 able acting Secretary of the Hunt, Mr. Adam Morrison. I 

 may also mention the great civility all hunting men have 

 always received from the landladies of the Houston and 

 Bishopton Hotels, where, many a time, when soaked through, 

 I have sat down at a roaring fire and had a good hot tumbler. 

 Nor must I forget the wonderful good Scotch broth that 

 Mrs. Money at Bishopton has always ready for any sportsman 

 when the hounds are in that district, tasting all the better by 

 being served by her pretty daughter, Miss Mackenzie.
