The great success of what may almost be termed the recon- structed Cork Park race meeting, was also a feature of the past racing season in Ireland, and it is to be hoped that the satis- factory work of the executive in providing really high class sport will be long maintained. Hunting. — Those Irish packs of foxhounds who, taking time by the forelock, began their regular season in the end of October, have so far had rather the best of the game, for scent in the beginning of November was very uncertain in most parts of the country and some of the worst samples of Irish weather were experienced in the early part of that month. The Meath hounds opened their campaign with a signal triumph the first day they were out — when the fixture was, of course, at Bective, for after a lively, busy 454 BAILY S MAGAZINE. tl> morning they had a grand fifty minutes from Rathnally and rolled their fox over in the open in great style. Since then the changeable weather much interfered with Mr. John Watson's sport and he has not found so many straight-necked foxes as usual, or hounds have not been lucky in getting away with the good ones, for the country is full of foxes, though the pack almost daily diminish their num- bers. They had, however, a capital hunt on November 5th of fully seven miles, from Harris- town to ground near Order Salmeterol Online Belrath. The Kildare hounds had an excellent day on November 8th, when they ran from Eagle Hill over a very "vulgar" country at first till they got near the Curragh where they ran their fox to ground almost on one of the training grounds, time ; thirty-five minutes, done at a fair pace. Then came a real cracker from Bull Hill to Buy Salmeterol groxmd in the main earths at NarraghmoreWood: forty minutes in all, thirty of which were flying. The vile weather spoiled much of the fun in Kildare in early No- vember, Buy Cheap Salmeterol a contrast to last year, when runs of magnitude came fast Buy Salmeterol Online and thick. They had two very good days at the end of the cubbing in the extreme south of the country, and foxes run so stoutly on the Carlow border that it is possible the Kildare Thursday will be again the favoured day of the week. In Carlow old Mr. Watson declares that he has never known such bad scent in covert, but these hounds have nearly always been able to run hard in open, though fast spins of short duration were the rule at first. They will hardly find a better fox this season than the old customer they chased from Burton Hall and lost near the Fighting Cocks on October 23rd, before regular operations com- menced. This was an eight-mile point and done in about an hour; the fox was running short for his life up one fence and down the next when a heavy shower of hail came on and spoiled the finish. Wonderful to relate, the veteran M.F.H., who was by no means robust last season, is riding close up to hounds though he will be an octogenarian this winter, and now seems in the best of health. He was quite one of the leading files in a terribly quick burst from Colonel Eustace's new gorse at Castlemore on November loth. In this run T. Smith, Lrord Milton*s huntsman, was unfortu- nately kicked on the leg and the limb was badly broken below the knee. The Limerick hounds have made a good beginning and early last month had two capital runs. The best of these was on No- vember 6th from Clashbawn, when their fox beat them close to Emly after running over twelve miles of country. Captain Frank Wise had not arrived from South Africa to take the helm, and his Purchase Salmeterol Online place was filled by his friend, Mr. J. C. Higgins, than whom no better man could possibly be found. The U.H.C. have already had more than their share of real good things, and Captain Creagh Barry's gorse at Dundillerick has provided thus early in the season two first-class runs ; the last of these was on November 5th and finished at the main earth in Bride's brake, a seven-mile point. No* pack in Ireland have for the last few seasons shown more con- sistently good sport than the U.H.C, and next to Meath and Kildare they have the largest following. There are more people hunting now in co. Galway than one used to see some years ago, and this must be due to the excellent way I900.] "OUR VAN. »i 455 things are done by Mr. Poyser and the good sport he shows. Though it is so far West, they have been used in Galway to have their hunting matters done well. Poor Burton Persse, in his long and glorious reign, attended to every little detail personally ; the hounds were perfection for the country they hunted, his servants were exceptionally good Generic Salmeterol and were horsed on animals that could go anywhere, while a workmanlike neatness pervaded the establish- ment. When Lord Clan morris ruled after the Persse family had given up, his regime was distin- guished by extra polish and smart- ness and he spared no expense. Following such men the present master's establishment does by no means suffer by contrast, and the sport he shows is good enough to satisfy even the men of ** the Blazers." They had a right good hunt on the opening Order Salmeterol day and had good sport every day they were out in the second week of Novem- ber. Captain Steeds and Mr. Percy Maynard of "The Wards" have been hunting in Galway since the season commenced and are quite as much at home there as Purchase Salmeterol in the Dublin country. Mr. Langrishe had a great run in Kilkenny on November loth ; being Saturday it was not one of the regular hunting days, but the meet, which was at Kilmanagh, had been changed, owing to the death of a sister of one of the oldest members of the hunt.
