CHAPTER XXIII. 



Present Day. 



THE hounds are now kept in kennel at Flatt- 

 lands by W. H. Tomlinson, Esq., who has 

 been Master since 1882. 



Their first meet is still, I believe, on 3rd or 

 4tli October, Aysgarth Feast-day. They have, of 

 late years, had a joint meet with the Swaledale 

 Harriers, and even last year they had a hound 

 trail in the afternoon, so this good old custom is 

 not quite extinct. Mr. Tomlinson hunts two or 

 three days a week, and has fourteen couples of 

 hounds. Long may they continue to make the 

 dear old Dale ring with their cheery, melodious 

 music, is the ardent wish of the humble compiler 

 of these reminiscences.
