The fact that a horse can race two miles is no guarantee that he can stay four at much the same pace. On the second day there was a National Hunt flat race of three miles and a quarter, which is nearer four miles than two, and as many as nine ran for it, in- cluding such well-known ones as Gentle Ida, Elliman, Swanshot and Breemount's Pride. In April Breemount's Pride had beaten Gentle Ida in the Lancashire Handicap Steeplechase, but had the advantage in the weights of no less than 33 lbs. This time the difference was 21 lbs., and whilst Gentle Ida was a 5 to 2 chance, Breemount*s Pride started at 10 to I.

He got on very well, in the circumstances, but Bree- mount*s Pride beat Gentle Buy Pyridostigmine Bromide Ida again, Mr. Thursby thus winning the only two flat races of the meeting. Hunting. — Open weather, good scent and sound going have marked the foxhunting of November and the early part of December. Horses have indeed felt the strain of continued work, and a few days* frost, which seems likely enough as I write, Order Pyridostigmine Bromide would be no misfor- tune, especially for masters of hounds.

Accidents have been neither very numerous nor very serious, when the number of good Order Pyridostigmine Bromide Online and fast gallops that have been enjoyed is considered. The death of Mr. R. C. Nay lor has removed an old master of the Pytchley. His huntsman was Squires, whose reminiscences were published in Baily some years ago, Pyridostigmine Bromide Tablets and made capital reading. It is a curious fact that in the " History of the Pytchley " hunt no mention what- ever is made of Mr. Nay lor 's term of office. Staghunting.— In spite of its rather foolish detractors — perhaps because they are such — this sport flourishes. Some of the best gallops of the month have been after the carted deer. The Royal pack have one capital stag out which has twice defled Comins, and the very smart pack he hunts. Though so near town, many parts of the country hunted over by the Queen's is very wild and rough, and when one is drawing for an outlier the sport is very much like the chase of the wild deer, but of course without the tufting. Another Buy Pyridostigmine Bromide Online staghound pack has been founded by Mr. Peter Ormerod, who uses big black and tan hounds of the Talbot type. These hounds, though perhaps not so fast as the foxhound, are well suited to the country round Wyresdale, and their deep tongues and grand music are worth a journey to hear.

Whether the day on which he rode over the country was an exception or not, he can- not say; but, expecting to find much woodland, in a good run of an hour, those hounds were prac- tically in the open all the time. It was a very pleasant run for a stranger to the country, for the pace alternated between careful hunting (and the South Dorset hounds can hunt) and some sharp bursts, when they also showed that they can go.

Sip Watkin Wynn's.— On De- cember 2nd this pack, meeting at Greenshields, had a very good run. There is, however, nothing remarkable in that, for George Sharpe has been showing very good sport. This pack has a great deal of the old Portsmouth blood in it, for it will be recol- lected by hound-loving readers that some years ago Sir Watkin bought the beautiful bitch pack from Eggesford, the dogs going, if memory does not fail me, to the present Duke of Beaufort, then Marquis of Worcester. Thus these hounds may be ex- pected to hunt and run, and this was shown on the above occasion. Towards the end of the day hounds had two foxes before them, and the pack divided, each division killing their fox hand- somely in the open. North Staffordshire.— With so much hunting, it would perhaps j be too much to say that this pack had the best run of the month, but a certain gallop enjoyed by the Duke of Sutherland's hounds on December ist has had few superiors. The Duke was out, but Parker, first whipper-in, carried the horn, Boxall, the huntsman, being still laid up from the effects of a fall. Fifty minutes — one timekeeper said' fifty-five — without a serious check and scarcely more than one or two hesitations, checks they were not, on the part of hounds. If ever; they had a doubt about the line- they put themselves right in ar moment, and Parker had nothing to do but to watch them.
