I04 Tally ho. 



fox was found at South Kilworth, who, racing over 

 the railway and the canal, was killed close to 

 Mr. Mills^s house at Husband's Bosworth, after a 

 slashing good run. 



For downright good hunting, a thoroughly sporting 

 country, fast hounds, and first-rate riders, commend 

 me to the Pytchley. You may travel far and wide 

 before you will see collected together so many hard 

 men, or so pleasant and genial a Master as the Lord 

 of Al thorp. I cannot conceive a better place to take 

 up one's abode for the hunting season than Kugby; 

 from its central position, railway facilities, and healthy 

 situation. 



For those who wish to combine fashionable society 

 with the pleasures of the chase. Melton will always 

 have its attractions, and there is no doubt those excel- 

 lent hotels, the George and the Harborough, will 

 never lack visitors ; but for those with whom fashion 

 is a secondary consideration, Rugby offers many ad- 

 vantages. 



It is a very healthy and cheerful town, remarkably 

 clean, has excellent shops — vide Billington's, the prin- 

 cipal bookseller; an admirably-managed hotel, con- 

 ducted by Mr. Leonard Hards, who lived with Earl 

 Spencer for eight-and-twenty years, and, having acted 

 as steward at Dublin Castle during the viceroyalty of 

 his lordship, knows what's what ; excellent hunting 

 stables belonging to Mr. Walker, the well-known 

 veterinary surgeon, where there is a choice of fifty 

 first-rate boxes in the healthiest part of the town. 

 There are also excellent private houses and lodgings 

 in the town for those who desire them, and convenient 

 hunting-boxes in the vicinity.
