ADVICE ON FOX-HUNTING 



than him. Turn back towards the huntsman 

 and pass the holloa on to him. 



Never ride after the fox or on his line at 

 all. Should the fox show himself and turn 

 back, keep perfectly quiet, and he will prob- 

 ably go away directly. If, however, the day 

 is a very bad scenting one, and the hunts- 

 man is evidently going to draw over his fox, 

 you must let him know in some way or 

 other that there is a fox in the covert. When 

 the fox is away, and the huntsman is coming 

 up with the pack, ride close up to him and 

 tell him quietly what has happened, and 

 how far you saw the fox. 



Always remember that the whipper-in 



who gets most credit from the huntsman is 



he who makes the latter's task the easiest.
