BLOODLESS SPORT 



THERE has developed in recent years a 

 sentiment which has declared itself 

 strongly in opposition to taking animal life 

 for the sake of sport. The camera has been 

 recommended as a substitute for the death- 

 dealing firearm. A great many people have 

 discussed this subject without possessing a 

 clear idea of what constitutes real sport. 



To obtain a better understanding of the 

 subject we may classify those who hunt for 

 the purpose of destroying wild life under 

 three divisions: sportsmen, market hunters 

 and butchers. The last expression I have 

 employed in a peculiar sense as indicating a 

 very objectionable class in itself. By a pro- 

 cess of elimination one may arrive at the true 

 conception of a sportsman after first grasp- 

 ing the meaning of the term market hunter
