CHAPTER XXIV. 



Conclusion. 



ALAS ! now many old Dalesmen and friends, 

 contemporaneous with the early records 

 of this old hill and dale pack are no 

 more ; still, if the reading of these narratives 

 should bring back to the memories of those still 

 living, some pleasing reminders of their youthful 

 days, I shall feel myself most fully repaid for 

 my endeavours to put before them my remem- 

 brances of many long and most enjoyable runs in 

 the good old days with the Wensleydale hounds. 

 Oh ! how these reminiscences bring back to 

 my memory those happy days of good runs in the 

 old-fashioned style, when men thought more of 

 following the hounds, enjoying their melodious.
