DEER TAKING,
Only Two Estates IN England Where

Only Two Estates IN England Where
the sport Is Followed.
Parts Of certain great parks in Eng
land. such as Fridge Park. the Oldest
deer park in the kingdom. says the New
York Sun, are kept practically Wild IN
their original forest state. while near the
castle is the cultivated home park
Fridge Park contains $500 acres. and
is the only estate in England, with one
exception, where deer taking with hounds
is still carried on. The other place Is
Woburn, the Duke Of Bedford's seat.
The Marquis Of Abergavenny is the
owner OF Fridge Park. but Il once formed
part Of the royal chase. Il stiH retains
the Wild beauty It then had. although
they are more than seventy miles Of
lovely drives in it, not counting those
Of the home park.
Deer taking is entirely different from
deer hunting The object Is TO take the
animals alive 50 that they may be trans
ferred to the home park to be fatted
and eventually turned into venison.
The sport Is by no means as tame as
It sounds. A seven to nine-year-old red
deer is an awkward customer 10 tackle.
