342 IRISH SPORT AND SPORTSMEN. 



observe that last year the stable won (with fourteen 

 winning horses) forty races, the sum realised amount- 

 ing to the handsome total of;^4,3i2 — -^1,860 being 

 spoil from the Saxon. 



This worthy sportsman may now be seen in good 

 health, perfectly free from his old enemy, still enjoy- 

 ing a burst with foxhounds, when scent lies and the 

 pace is good, with all the keen enjoyment of an Irish 

 foxhunter of the good old school, who ever scorned 

 to look for a start till the hounds were on the line, 

 and never pressed the puzzled pack while working out 

 that wonderful riddle, scent. 



Being of such quality, is it astonishing that Mr. 

 Moore and his belongings occupy a front place among 

 Irish sportsmen ? In wishing him many more pleasant 

 years amongst them, I only share the feeling which is 

 deep in the hearts of the countrymen of a fine hale 

 Irish gentleman, of the true old stock.
