224 LEAVES FEOM A GAME BOOK. 



Charles Wodehouse at Wolmers, tlie bag being 123 

 pheasants, 281 partridges, 25 ducks, with a few hares 

 and rabbits. It was here that I heard, to my great 

 sorrow, of the death of my old friend John Hargreaves 

 at Glentromie, on the 3rd of October. 



This visit over, there then came other days at 

 Shermanbury, West Grinstead Park and Coolhurst, and 

 at the last named place, with A. Scrase-Dickens, Arthur 

 Whitaker and Dr. Jukes, I had a nice day of 241 

 pheasants, 7 ducks and some bunnies ; while a few days 

 later at West Grinstead, with Arthur Whitaker, in 

 company with General Kerr, General Lance, Colonel 

 Kilgour and Scrase-Dickens, we got 315 pheasants, 

 with 37 head of other sorts. Then came another trip 

 to High Legh, where I found exactly the same party 

 as in the previous season. In very wet weather, the 

 four days gave us 1388 head, of which 1127 were 

 pheasants, with 151 hares. 



The 16th of December found me at Normanby Park, 

 Doncaster, visiting Sir Berkeley Sheffield, and meeting 

 there Colonel St. Quentin, G. Carey Elwes, T. Poynter
