ornamental fountains arranged for electrical illumination, the perfect

of hounds in the immediate neighbourhood, with salmon and trout

indispensable. Particulars as to the surrounding country gentry are
requested. Write also stating whether any recognised race-meeting is
held in the immediate vicinity. The distance of the property from
