Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) WELL ALL GO OUT HUNTING TO—DAY." Of all the famous packs of foxhounds in the United Kingdom, and these are many, none is more justly renowned than that of the famous Quorn Hunt, whose Meet under the Leicestershire oaks we here see represented. The scarlet liveries, with their light blue facings, are worn by some of the best cross-country riders in the world, and the Midland country is stiff enough to test the horsemanship of any man who rides to hounds. There are many packs throughout the Empire, and it is not always "Reynard" who is the object of the chase; but though harriers, stag hounds, otter hounds, and all the varieties which the peculiarities of sport in distant lands have developed, are worthy to be sung, and illustrated, there is still truth in the old song— Stags in the forest lie, hares in the valley.o Web-footed otters are spread in the lochs: Beasts of the chase that are not worth a Tally-ho,All are surpassed by the gorse-cover fox
