 and Mr. Thompson are gone on a tour to the 

 Continent. Surely there can be nothing to see 

 there equal to Dick Foster and Mr. Yillebois' 

 fox-hounds, and a writ of 'ne exeat regno' 

 should be served upon such men in October. 

 It is gratifying, however, to see the rising 

 generation of young men of fortune in this 

 country entering so well to the sport.

 Leicestershire. 



The Captain " The two Captain Greenwoods

 good reason for thinking they would go well 

 anywhere.
