Written by David Livingstone-Learmonth.

   a- The Joint-Masters :  Captain and Mrs. C. M. Wellesley-Wesley and the hunt servants at a meet at Stinsford House, the residence of Mr. A. H. Higginson, Joint-Master of the Cattistock.

   b- Moving Off :  The South Dorset hounds moving off from Stinsford House with the Master and huntsman behind the pack.  The South Dorset hunt a country between the Cattistock in the west and the New Forest in the east, the Blackmore Vale and Portman in the north, and the sea in the south.

   c- Hard on his Brush :  A remarkable photograph of the Cattistock hounds taken during a hunt after meeting at Bradford Peverell, near Dorchester.  We have seen foxes as close to hounds as this get away before noe ;  but with the assistance of the photographer we should imagine that this one was killed.

   d- The Quorn at Thimble Hall :  The hounds and the field moving off after meeting at Thimble Hall, that quaint edifice said to have been built in fourteen days by Sir Frederick Fowke in honour of the coming of an heir.  Thimble Hall is only a few fields from Twyford, close to the road to Lowesby, and is thus in the bullock country south of the river Wreake, the strongest fenced part of the Quorn territory.

Condition is Very Good.
