from the countryside. Irish women arc
renowned for their fearless prowess
in the hunting field. where the terrible
obstacles to b negotiated call for

London Daily Graphic.
The fearsome stone walls, some

at the commencement Of the hunt

called upon to face the stif going.
She finds her nerve returning. how.

The late empress OF Austria used
to hunt regularly in Ireland. where
her reckless and brilliant horseman-
ship is still spoken Of With the
late Bay Middleton to give her a lead,
she was always in the first fight and
stuck at nothing. The famous happy
go-lucky hospitality that marks the
Irish temperament Is exemplified in
matters sporting, and open house is

The Irish colleen will dance all
night at a hunt ball and turn up at a
distant meet as fresh as paint with
out going to bed at all, full of life
and spirit, with wit and repartee bub-

brings out all the dare devil Irish
nature. and there is little searching

Ireland Is not overrepresented in
The matter of hunting, and Irish
packs are not by any means numer-
GUS. and may be reckoned to number
couple OF dozen. Some only possess
quite restricted number of couples,
and but few hunt four or five days a
week, though an occasional by-day
may bring the total up. The Meath
hunts five days week and is one of
the famous hunts of the United King
