Fox-hunting 47 



horse I rode used to o;o as if the devil had 



o 



kicked him. 



In connection with Sussex hunting, it is 

 sorrowful news that after keeping the Good- 

 wood hounds for twelve years, the Duke of 

 Richmond is now giving them up. 



The best part of Kent, to my mind, is 

 the country over which the Mid-Kent Stag- 

 hounds travel. Round Maidstone and Water- 

 ingbury, indeed, there are some really fine 

 lines to be traversed, with plenty of grass 

 and good fencing. After manifold chops and 

 changes of Mastership, this pack has now 

 reverted to the Leney family, and in their 

 hands I trust it may long remain. It is 

 now several years since I had the pleasure 

 of a run with them, but, with luck, I shall 

 hope to renew their acquaintance ere long. 



The West Kent Foxhounds hunt over a 

 very varied country, good, bad, and indif- 

 ferent. The Hon. Ralph Nevill, who presided 

 over the destinies of this pack for so many 

 years, has now resigned, to the great regret 

 of all, but Bollen still remains to hunt them.
