Country Life In Ireland.
On the whole, the Stretch and Irish are
more pleasant, particularly to a sports-
man ; the English more dignified, or, I
might say, magnificent, on account 01 21)3)

and the old historical surroundings. A
great Irish house is more homely and
genial. The 11051 and Misters generally
talk better ; they put more stress upon

better, or rather more interestiug, pr.
dans ; better bred horses, and are readier
to put them at .cottr disposal. The Irish
country house is more natural. If you
