 slowly, and the last syllable drawn out and the voice 

 not pitched too high. When hounds have found 

 their fox, cheer them with *' Havk, cry, hark," and the 

 ^^yoi over" at the rides, which is always a good chance 

 of getting the stragglers together. 



When they leave the covert, ^^ Hark away" and a 

 "View holloa" or two and a few notes on the horn 

 to let your men know. Then the men may cheer 

 them away loudly for the information of the Field. 

 Hound language should be cheery and melodious, 

 distinct and encouraging, and have both meaning 

 and expression. There is no melody in " h-o-o-o-o-iev " 

 to call Hounds to you ; rather " hilloo hilloope" 



Many Huntsmen blow the same monotonus note 

 all day long, without variation or meaning ; a single 

 note of the horn may be used to call Hounds on in 



drawing a covert — 



A prolonged swelling 

 note to call them
