 the property partly of Lord Falmouth, and partly of 

 Sir Francis Geary. 



Over the hill, again, is the best of the country — 

 viz., the stiff, heavy vale by Tunbridge, Penshurst, 

 and Edenbridge. Double ditches, by the way, are not 

 at all unfrequent obstacles here, and the stranger 

 should be prepared accordingly. Lord Hardinge at 

 South Park, Mr. Mead- Waldo, and Col. Streatfield, 

 with the two Messrs. Field, are leaders among those 

 who keep this part of the country supplied with foxes. 

 Bow Beach, Penshurst, and South Park will frequently 

 occur as meets with this ground in view. 



As we get on to Tunbridge Wells and beyond, the 

 country becomes again more undulating and hilly. 

 Bridge Castle is one of the meets for the Bridge dis- 

 trict. In conclusion, Mr. S. Umfreville of Ingress 

 Abbey has hitherto acted as a deputy-master, to assist 

 Mr. Nevill ; and is now succeeded in that capacity by 

 Lord George Nevill and Mr. L. Bligh, nephews of the 

 masters.
