grass, partly under the plough. Of the country due 

 "vvest of the Kennels, and already referred to, Stanner 

 Rocks and the Devil's Grarden represent — as the names 

 will easily allow one to believe — the roughest draws 

 of the Hunt. On Gladestry Hill hounds try for their 

 fox among the heather ; and they also go to the Black 

 Yalt coverts (Sir Gilbert Lewis') and to Red Wood, 

 a good covert of Lord Ormathwaite's just beyond 

 Huntington. On Knil Garaway (a continuation of 

 Bradnor Hill) is Knill Gorse ; and between here and 

 the big woods of Nash, &c., is Eywood (the property 

 of Mr. Bacon, an excellent friend to the Hunt). One 

 of the best of their coverts too, and just south of the 

 Kennels, is Lynhales. This has for the last twenty 

 years belonged to Mr. S. Robinson; and no pains 

 have been spared to render it of value to the Hunt. 

 Down by the Wye, again, are two excellent little 

 coverts of Capt Downs'. 



Monday and Friday are the hunting days — the 

 former being more usually for the hills, the latter for 

 the low country. The opening meet is always Castle 

 Weir, the residence of the Master. Other meets with 

 a view to the low country are Newport, Cwmma Moor, 

 Letton Court for Tin Hill, &c., Sarnsfield Oak for 

 Sarnsfield Coppice, and Bredwardine across the Wye. 

 On the hills are Eywood, Lingen for Lingen Yallets, 

 Norton, PiUith for the northern hills, Radnor Forest 

 Wood, Griffin Lloyd for Mr. W^ayman's good gorse, 

 &c., Stanner, New Radnor, Gladestry, and Huntington, 

 while in the spring they will meet as far on the moors 

 as Rhosgouk and Pain's Castle. 



Colonel Price has now kept hounds at Castle Weir
