On Monday evening' of- last week Gen. Williarii H. Jackscn died 
of Bright's disease at Belle Meade, near Nashville, Tenn. He 
• was a splendid type of the Southern gentleman, and the Southern 
mansion at Belle Meade vas of more than national fame for its 
generous hospitality. Gen. Jackson was best known, in the world 
of sport, as a breeder of thoroughbi eds, many horses of his breed- 
ing proving to be of the best. He was also well known in sports 
of dog and gun. In 1878 the Tennessee State Sportsmen'?. Asso-

ried. Belle Meade came under his control, A list of the famous 
horses bred at Belle Meade would be a long one. About a year 
ago, owing to financial reverses the horses and mares at Belle 
Meade were sold at auction, and the worry entailed by his troubles 
were no small cause in hastening his end. The universal esteem 
and affection which he won by his courteous and upright life is 
" the greatest testimonial to his st.'rling worth.

A correspondent writes us that Mr. James M. Spencer, presi- 
dent of the Poughkeepsie Gun Club, recently returned from 
North Carolina, where he has been sojourning for several weeks 
in search of health and recreation. While there Mr. Spencer 
experienced the novelty of hunting quail on horseback, and pro- 
nounces that method a success. As this gentleman is an expert 
horseman, as well as wing shot, this method of hunting must 
have indeed been very fascinating to him.
