14 HUNTING TOURS. 



would die, or have the yellows to so great an 

 extent, if more flesh were given to them 

 before they are brought into the kennels. I 

 should be happy to receive information on 

 this subject, and shall be obliged to any 

 masters of hounds and huntsmen who will 

 favour me with their experience on this point 

 by addressing letters to me at the office of 

 Bell's Life, the substance of which on a future 

 occasion I will make known through the 

 medium of its columns. 



The kennels now occupied by the Albrighton 

 Hounds are at Whiston Cross, about four 

 miles and a half from Shiffiiall, on the Wol- 

 verhampton road. They are certainly more 

 healthy than the former ones, but I fear they 

 are not quite sound. The stables are close 

 by ; they are capable of improvement, not 

 being sufficiently spacious. 



In such a populous district, where the love 

 of hunting is so widely diffused, the fields are 

 often enormous, and it speaks well for the 

 future support of these hounds that the rising 

 generation take such a lively interest in the 

 sport. On one day when I was out with them 

 there were four young gentlemen present who 

 have not yet concluded their scholastic duties.
