estates in England ; and the beat known as 

 ' Hangings arid Jennings,' where you shoot all day in 

 a sheltered valley between coverts on the slopes on 

 either hand, and where every bird comes over really 

 high, is an excellent example of a beautiful day's 

 shooting on a spot which under an older regime gave 

 but indifferent sport. 



In making rides for the express purpose of your 

 sport, you must, as I have before observed, do so 

 without reference to existing roads or paths, unless 

 these run favourably for your object. In planting 

 new coverts, where cross rides are intended for future 

 use to kill ground game or pheasants, a very simple 

 expedient is, instead of making them rectangular to 

 the covert, to do so as showa in the diagram above. .
