Coming into the court we find the store-room twenty-four feet by fourteen and a half, marked by the letter
D
, and the stable, of the same dimensions, by the letter
E
.
At the top of the buildings are openings for the admission of cold air, and stoves to warm the air when too cold. There are plentiful supplies of water from tanks holding 10,000 gallons; so that there is no inconvenience from the smell, and the whole can at any time be drained, and not be rendered altogether useless.
Round the whole building is a pavement five feet wide; airy yards and places for breeding, &c., making part of each wing. For the huntsman and whipper-in there are sleeping-rooms, and a neat parlour or kitchen.
Soon after the kennel was erected, it would contain two packs of hounds.
