SIR FENTON AYLMER AND MR A. HENRY 



admission to the club came before a general meet- 

 ing of the Hunt, after being proposed and seconded 

 by two members. Eleven was a quorum at meetings 

 for election and one black ball excluded. An 

 entrance fee of five guineas was imposed, the first 

 mention of any source of revenue for the club, 

 apart from the cap money noted above. 



Other minutes at this meeting preserve records 

 of the presentation of coverts " free of all expense " 

 by Lord Rossmore at Rathsallagh, by Mr James 

 Conolly at Kilkea, and by Mr Richard Conolly at 

 Knockbrack. Mr Robert Hamilton, Mr James 

 Farrell, Mr John Narney and Mr Robert Borrowes 

 each obligingly proposed to present the Hunt with 

 " a Survey of the Hunting Country, making out 

 the several Coverts, their respective distances from 

 each other, Bogs, Rivers and Streams, free of 

 expense," surveys which would be of the greatest 

 interest now could they be found. There was a pro- 

 posal for the establishment of a club house at Naas 

 with " certain accommodation for the members 

 of the hunt," and a committee was appointed to 

 consider the matter, and to report such progress as 

 they shall make at the first Monday of the next June 

 meeting ; but I cannot find that their deliberations 

 resulted in the establishment of any club house. 



Finally was passed a resolution agreeing upon a 

 uniform for the club, which has a certain interest
