SOME NOTABLE BAGS 
SANDRINGHAM 
B y the gracious permission of His Majesty I am enabled to give 
a selection of some of the best partridge days at Sandringham, 
which will give an idea of the results of good management. 
In connection with these excellent days’ sport it should be 
borne in mind that on no occasion was there any attempt made 
to create a record, or any special selection of guns. 
On November 10, 1905, only eleven drives were taken, and the last 
three drives yielded 641 partridges. Unfortunately his present Majesty 
was absent in India.
