54 The Lanarkshire and Renfrezvshire Hunt. 



for many of the runs will be fresh in the memory of those who took part, 

 and a mass of detail might become monotonous to readers. Still there 

 are plenty of enthusiasts who could read about hunting for ever — or I 

 might say as long as they live — and gloat over it. 



A fixture at Foxbar, where Mr. T. Heywood Coats then lived, was 

 fulfilled on 12th March, but on the following Monday a gloom was cast 

 over the Renfrewshire hunting community by the news of the death of 

 Mr. James J. Barclay. Thoughts of sport vanished with the receipt of such 

 sad tidings, for we had lost one who had been so conspicuous in the field 

 for many years. Out of respect to the deceased sportsman the season was 

 brought to a premature end, and the point-to-point races were also 

 cancelled. 



A complimentary dinner to Mr. G. Barclay on his retiral from the 

 Mastership had been arranged in Glasgow, and a large number of invitations 

 issued ; but under the circumstances this did not take place.

 mention the names of those out with the pack during the past two seasons.
