JORROCKS ON ^UNTING 



'Enry ! Sir Richard, Sir Tatton, Mr. Jorrocks, 

 — are terms that may be thrown in at random, 

 jest as the butter seems to go down. If, 

 however, ingenuous youth's afraid o' bein' 

 tempted out of his depth, it's a safe wentur to 

 look werry approvinly at the pack generally, 

 and then say that ' they're larger nor some 

 he has seen, and not so large as others.' 

 (Laughter.) In sayin' this, it may p'raps be 

 well jest to feel his 'oss with the spur, so as to 

 make him wince, which will give him an excuse 

 for withdrawin' on the score o' being afear'd 

 o' kickin' the 'ounds, and save him from bein' 

 axed to name the larger or smaller packs he's 

 seen, which might be inconwenient. 



" 'Untsmen are either 'eaven-born or hidiots 

 — there's no medium. Every schoolboy can 

 criticise their performance. Its 'stonishin' how 

 quickly 'untsmen are run up and down, jest 

 like the funds, with the bulls and the bears. 

 As no M.F.H. keeps what he considers a fool, 

 it may be well to commence in the soapy line ;
