The Old Berkeley. ^121 



hounds are right well-cared for in their present 

 hands. 



With the O.B.H. you will find the fences that most 

 often tempt you to jump are light stake-and-bounds, 

 with small ditches — though in the Elstree neighbour- 

 hood more leaping power will be wanted, and a timber 

 jumper is everywhere useful. But only the angels^ 

 visits to the vales of Harrow and Aylesbury demand 

 a flying horse. 



Yet the visitor will often, if he be fond of hounds 

 and hunting for their own sake, be well rewarded in 

 a trip to the O.B.H. He may hunt with them with 

 less labour, and as little expense, as he will anywhere. 

 Lastly, as to the class of horse he should take with 

 him, we should advise him to buy as good a one as he 

 can get — for a little money.
