OCTOBER 4, 1923 U. S, HUNTERS PAY HI6H RENT FOR SCOTCH HOMES Stately Houses In Demand as Grouse Season Opens. London.?Hundred? of thousand* of acres of Scottish moors and scores of the nioft stately Scottish homes have been rented at fabulous prices by wealthy Americans and Britishers for the forthcoming grouse shooting season, in which King George will participate. Bernard Barucb and C. 13. Mackay ef New York are among the Wealthy Americans who have rented estates and are entertaining large house parties for the season. Bernard Barucb has rented the magnificent Fetteresso, In County felnchrdlne. while Mackay has taken feistle Grant, with 19.000 acres of broad Scottish moors. . They have ttaken over these famous old house? complete for two or throe months, with all their staffs and furniture, lock, stock and barrel. jwany members or parliament have also taken "shootings" and agents report that nearly all the best estates have been taken at good rents. Prices for the season are higher than last year, according to the agents. They attribute tbls to ihe high cost of labor and upkeep during the empty season. Rents are being mainly based at the rate of $.% per brace of grouse and $150 a stag, with the cost of the house in addition. Sonic of the smaller ''shootings** can be had for $500 a month hut. as a whole. Scotland is divided into large estates and the cost of these runs into something over five figures. This is likely to he a good season for game, gamekeepers report. The breeding season has been good and reports from all parts indicate that there are plenty of pheasants, black game and snipe. Four large estates are stlil without shooting season tenants, among them being the famous Thurso castle, f%*?r which $10,000 Is being asked. King George has often stayed at Thurso for the season and has made some of his most famous "bags" there. Only Surviving Member of General Lee'? Staff J ' > < ?? I Rev.
