THE Mooßs.—Monday week being the 12th of August,
great numbers of sportsmen were on the moors betimes in
the morning. In Cumberland, Westmoreland, and North-
umberland, on the higher grounds, birds were not very
plentiful, but were remarkably wild and strong on the
wing. The second broods, on the lower grounds, were
weaker and smaller birds and were more easily shot.
Several parties on Monday, Tuesday, and Wed-
nesday last were tolerably successful. The best sport we
have heard of was on Rodrip-fell, near Alston. On Mon-
day, Mr. J. Richardson, of Penrith, bagged 28 brace ;
another gentlemen 211; Mr. R. Tinkler, of Eden-grove,
17 ; Mr. T. Fetherstonhaugh, of the College, Kirkoswald,
13 ; and Mr. J. Lemon, of Manchester, 10 brace. On
Tuesday and Wednesday, on the same moor, the same
party were respectively not quite so successful, but they
had most excellent sport. During the three days these
gentlemen bagged 375 birds.
