the country there is well adapted lor hunting 1t was
proposed to take advantage of the opportunity and
let the pack go with him. Some members Of the

Kept at home, where all the members can use them.
II is 10 discuss and settle this matter that the
special meeting has been called Inasmuch as the pack
Is large IL Is likely that a compromise Will be
reached, and the pack divided, part being sent 10
