great families, but they are born fox-hunters, and 

 wearing the old slouch hat and the country jeans 

 trousers, are the representatives of forefathers 

 who hunted foxes in years gone by, over the same 

 ground. 



The matter of dress, therefore, outside of the 

 officers and assistants of regularly organized hunt 

 clubs, is one largely of individual taste, and as 

 fashions are continually changing, a consultation 

 with a fashionable tailor would doubtless be more 

 satisfactory than any advice I might give on the 

 subject. 



Field Do n'ts. 



Do n't ride on the coat tails of the man you 

 have selected as your pilot. 



Do n't press hounds on the road. 



Do n't leave gates open. 



Do n't fail to tie red ribbon on your horse's 

 tail if a kicker, and on foretop if a biter. 



Do n't forget civility to natives. 



Do n't let your mount eat grass or champ bits 

 when hounds are working. 



Do n't over or under dress. 



Do n't ask questions of M. F. H. 



Do n't ride over country to be hunted in go- 

 ing to meet. 



Do n't blow your horse unnecessarily. 



Do n't ride over hounds either in field or road.
