Abstract
No gillie that I know of has the honour of my acquaintance, and therefore no gillie can know, save indirectly, that I have picked up a horn of the red deer, in a park near Sheffield! I was told at the time by the gardener who accompanied me that these horns were eagerly sought after by the Sheffield knife-makers for the purpose of making bucks' horn knife-handles.
