That season they ran a drag in the vicinity 

 of Woolwich twice a week, and, in addition, 

 took the hounds by invitation into the 

 Windsor district once a week, where they 

 obtained some very brilliant gallops. In 

 order to do this it became necessary to make 

 some arrangements with the South- Western 

 Kailway Company for the conveyance of 

 hounds and horses to Windsor, and the 

 General Manager met the gallant Master 

 in the most friendly spirit, and generously 

 oftered the needful horse-boxes for nothing ! 

 On sounding the South-Eastern Eailway 

 people it was found that they would do 

 nothing, and would not abate their usual 

 charges a penny. At this Mr. Barth, a 

 large contractor at Woolwich, came forward 

 in the most sportsmanlike manner and offered 

 to van the hounds up to Waterloo and back, 

 which he did, throughout the season, at his 

 own expense.
