The amount spent yearly on hunting in
Ireland. according 10 Mr.. F. Barbour, NJ. F.
H. is s2,500OOO.
Ireland, he said. was hunted by sixty
nine packs Of foxhound, barriers and stag
hounds, with 1850 couples Of dogs. The
number of horses kept in connection with
the hunt establishments was at least $50
and he estimated the cost OF maintaining
those horses and dogs at E65,OOO a year.
That sum did not include masters expenses.
At a low computation the rent and main
tenance of coverts and cost of earth-stop-
ping door-finding would amount to $25. 90
year. quite $50 people hunted with the
packs, each Of whom would spend at the
lowest $500 on their horses, hunting outfit,
subscriptions, and travelling, making a
/ total Of Sls,750,O0O.
/ The expenditure for the whole of the
/ United Kingdom, said Mr.. Barbour. has
I been estimated at over s42,5O9.OO0. Irish
