324 Tally ho, 



doubles, or you will speedily be out of tlie bunt; 

 neither must you go at tbem full tilt, or grief will 

 be your portion. Judgment and discretion are 

 needful if you mean to last with tbese crack bounds 

 to the finish. As yet I have not bad an opportunity 

 of visiting tbem during tbe present season, but bope 

 to do so at an early period, having a lively recollection 

 of my ride with them last year. 



Tbe second easily-approachable pack is that of the 

 Hon. H. Petre, which is kennelled in the vicinity of 

 Ingatestone, and to be easily reached from Brentwood 

 or Chelmsford ; and no finer country for stag bunting 

 is to be found than the Eoothings of Essex, where if 

 you delight in jumping you will find ditches big 

 enough to satisfy a glutton, and hold him, too, if be 

 rides without nerve and judgment. If any one 

 seeking where to finish the season should follow my 

 advice and try a spin with either or both of these 

 packs, I shall be greatly surprised if he is not grateful 

 for the suggestion. Advice gratis is seldom palatable, 

 but I think if my recommendation is followed, and pro- 

 vided the patient attends to the prescription I have 

 shadowed out as to the style in which he should 

 perform, he will not have cause to regret his visit to 

 the light riding lands of the Essex Eoothings, or the 

 elastic turf of the Vale of Aylesbury.
