A GUIDE TO THE 



Hellier succeeded Mr. John Musters, who came after Mr. 

 Henley as Master of the South Wold Hounds. Bullen has 

 been one season with Mr. Hellier^s hounds, and came from 

 the Albrighton ; previously to which, he lived with his Grace 

 the Duke of Beaufort. Mr. Hellier has a remarkably fine 

 stud of horses for the ensuing season. 



MONMOUTHSHIRE. 



FOXHOUNDS. 



Also hunt part of Herefordshire. This country is infi- 

 nitely indebted to Mr. Stretton, for the gentlemanlike and 

 spirited manner in which he first formed, in 1832, and has 

 since managed, the Monmouthshire Pack. There is a Hunt 

 Club, consisting of sixty members, and fox-hunting may be 

 said to flourish under its auspices. A fair share of sport keeps 

 the Monmouthshire gentlemen in good heart. When the 

 country admits of it, there are many slashing riders amongst 

 them ; but the covers are deep, and occasionally hilly and 

 difficult for horses.
