As the Master's personal expenses in hunting 

 hounds will necessarily exceed the sum it would

 tional kennel accommodation, a new hound van, or 

 any extra of this sort is desirable, and the com- 

 mittee agree as to its necessity, it is best to raise a 

 separate fund for the purpose, a slightly increased 

 rental being charged to the blaster, in order to cover 

 the interest on capital employed. 



As in the case of the majority of foxhound packs, 

 the Master's subscription should be paid half-yearly 

 in advance, since it is unfair to ask the man who is 

 showing sport to draw upon his private account for 

 expenditure in the interests of his subscribers
