TO WHIPPERS-IN 



and everyone else is, the better. Get to the 

 offender and punish him severely if you 

 possibly can, but do not begin holloaing 

 at him, and thereby causing the rest of 

 the pack to get their heads up. It is far 

 from an easy thing to hit a hound when 

 he is running riot, and it is an accomplish- 

 ment that few whippers-in, in these days, 

 seem to possess ; but remember, the less 

 noise you make before you get to him, the 

 better chance you have, and above all 

 never be tempted to revenge yourself, by 

 hitting him at some future time when he 

 is doing no harm. 



If a hound hangs back in covert after 

 it has been drawn blank, ride in and give 

 him a hiding if you can, but never hit one
