PREFACE 



The following papers appeared in " Bell's Life in London,'" 

 Sporting paper, during last season, and, independentl\- of 

 their reference to foxhunting generally, form a slight 

 Souvenir of that extremely favourable winter — the best 

 hunting one in the author's recollection ; as such, he re- 

 spectfully dedicates them to his brother sportsmen.
