HISTORY OF THE KILDARE HUNT 



Ormonde, and the Queen's County packs, and, 

 lastly, members of the Kildare Hunt will have a 

 special interest in two private packs maintained 

 by Mr Thomas Conolly at Castletown and by 

 Mr Wm. B. Ponsonby at Bishopscourt respectively, 

 to which organized hunting in Kildare undoubtedly 

 owes its origin, and a consideration of the history 

 of which will make a suitable opening for a new 

 chapter.
