ADVICE ON FOX-HUNTING 



when he is blowing them away from a 

 covert after a fox, get to them and rate 

 them on if you can, but if that is impos- 

 sible, do the next best thing and hold your 

 tongue. 



When the pack are running riot or heel, 

 and you go to stop them, take a look at the 

 fences and gates before you start, and make 

 up your mind exactly where you will get to 

 their heads, and do not ride crossways at the 

 middle of the pack only to cross the line be- 

 hind them just as the tail hounds are going 

 through a fence . 



In the open when you have turned the 



hounds, which, if you get to their heads, is 



done with a word, your work is finished for 



the moment ; on no account ride after them
