... WITH this letter we say adien to Ireland. We were speculating as to whether we shall not cross with it; but I fancy it will travel all night and we all day, so that we shall not be fellow pas sengers. A fortnight in the Emerald Isle and never a wet day, only a shower or two to lay the dust-- surely that is a record! A delightful time doesn't half express our enjoyment; we felt very sad when we ...

Dwellers in town, who only see the Princess and her daughters driving and at parties, have little idea ...

... STAG HUNTING ON EXMOOR. LONG before any other pack thinks of active work, the master, for the time being, of the Devon and Somerset Stag hounds is busy making his arrangements for the opening of the season. The Devon and Somerset pack is in the almost unique position that no hounds are bred at the kennels. Former masters set the precedent of using dog hounds only, and those of the largest size ...

... . IN connection with the dairy show, which we noticed last week there was the usual competition in pigeons and poultry. The Agricultural Hall is a capital place for the exhibition, although the heat in the galleries in the evening was very try ing. The management passed off satisfactorily, but we are sorry to hear that on Wednesday night two prize black turbits were stolen from their pens, one ...
