Scottish National^ when the C. C. lost the Pettir- 

 nane ground near Carstairs junction, which was

 which combine all sorts of ground, including Pepper 

 Knowes, always so celebrated for its stout, racing 

 hares. The iron fences are so constructed as to be 

 hooked up during the coursing, and the tenants vie

 for which Mr. A. Graham acted as honorarv secre-
