climate—Yorkshire—here is the record of the best

T have included the totals of hares and pheasants 
for this week because they are typical of the country, 
and valuable as touching upon a point I wish to 
allude to later on, viz. the killing of hares and 
pheasants in the fields whilst out after partridges 
Seamer is close to Scarborough in the North 
Riding, and Selby between York and Doncaster in 
the East Riding. This is undoubtedly the best con- 
secutive four days’ partridge-shooting ever known in 
Yorkshire. There is no other estate in that county 
which produces such totals, whether capable of doing 
so or not; and I may add that for many years past 
driving has been the exclusive practice on the 
Londesborough property, and that the ground is, for 
the most part, rarely shot over a second time.
