little wire, and where such fences existed they were well marked. "Each man picks his own line, but not knowing the country, I- always endeavoured to follow the master or huntsmen," said the Waikato master. , "The country everywhere in rural England is beautiful and a visitor could easily imagine he was riding through a park. "I got another thrill when I turned out with the Pytchley Hunt. When I arrived at the meet two horses im r mediately caught my eye, but eventually among a field of 300, I could say, without exaggeration, that they were as fine a lot of hunters as one could wish to see—all big, upstanding thoroughbreds, capable of carrying any weight and with quality from the tips of their ears to their tails. This large field turned out—both in the matter of horses and uniform—without a flaw." A month's holiday was spent'by Mr. Brown in Ireland. He was the guest of Mr. Tom Wallace, master of the Ormond Hunt, who was the breeder of that famous horse Brown Jaclr. "The country there is altogether different," said Mr. Brown. "It is harder hunting country than in England. The cream of British hunters come from Ireland, the home of hunting stock. The hunting enthusiasts there are mostly breeders, and hunting conditions are different and more like New Zealand. The sport is more commercialised and there is not the polish among the fields in the matter of hunting uniforms, etc." Mr. Brown stated that almost any price was paid by English hunting enthusiasts for1 the best stock from Ireland. "They won't have small horses," said Mr. Brown. "They must be from 16.2 to 17 hands to get a price. One has to be a good rider to keep up with the packs in Ireland for they take on nlmofit any kind of-country."
