Mr. A. A. Hagari Speirs Photo ry I tu Bulletin. Sir T. Gi i n Coai s, Bart. PRESENTATION CEREMONY AT HOUSTON HOUSE. The Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Hunt. 35 On 7th January the meet was at Barochan, and advantage was taken of the occasion to present Sir Stephen Bine Renshaw with a handsome silver salver subscribed for by members of the Hunt, on the occasion of his approaching marriage. In making the presentation, the Master paid high tribute to the services of the recipient as joint honorary secretary with Mr. Archibald Walker. They afterwards had a good hunt from Barochan Moss by North Brae and Corslie Hill over Black Rock and Mid Glen to Knockmountain, the fox eventually taking them to Finlay stone, where earths were open. It was a very wet and stormy day, but scent was good, and another enjoyable gallop of about forty minutes was had fromElphinstone. The course taken was by Ennelly, Scart, and Botherickfield, up through Barfillan into Wraes, where a kill served as a capital finish. Again in the Houston country on 14th January from a meet at Fulwood sport was really good. To begin with they had a fifty minutes hunt from Goldenlea Gorse by Botherickfield, Wraes, and Elphinstone to Knock- mountain, when the fox found an open earth. Another run in the afternoon was a bit slower, hounds taking a line by Botherickfield, Wraes, and Elphinstone over a similar route previously traversed to Knockmountain. They continued to hunt this fox by Auchinbothie up to Dr. Brown's coverts, where hounds were stopped at the end of a very hard day for horses. From Langbank Station on 21st January proceedings led followers into a part of the country seldom crossed on a Saturday. As an opening
