The number of horsce kept in connection with the h establishments was at least &0 and estimated the cost of maintaining hose horses and dogs at £65000 a year That sum did not include master's expenses At a low compuiation the rent and main- tenance of coverts and cost of earth-sto ping door-finding would amount to $25,00 a year. Quite 3,790 people hunted with the packs, cach of whom would £pend at the Jowest £300 on their hors: nting outfit subscriptions, and traveling, making a total of $18,750.000. The expenditure for the whole of the United Kingdom, said Mr. Barbour, has been estimated at over $42,00,000.
