if you studied his methods instinctively you learned the 



game. 



When I crossed the Atlantic to make my home in 

 Canada first and then in the States, I had to give up my 

 favorite sport, but whenever 1 felt able I went over to 

 the beautiful Borderland and joined the glad throng. 

 For exercise, for exhilaration, for the development of 

 comradeship, nothing compares in the realms of sport to 

 fox hunting. There on the hillside is a young wood or a 

 few acres of gorse where in some cozy spot reynard is 

 kennelled. The spotted beauties top a wall as if a blanket 

 covered them. The fox is at home. They push him up. 

 As he moves a hound hits off his line through the cover. 

 There is a whimper, then a full note, then a chorus. 

 Up a small ravine the fox slips away. If you see him 

 leaving do not holloa — as Mr. Jorrocks says, "count 

 twenty." Then if the huntsman does not know he has 

 left, or hounds are still hanging in cover, raise your hat, 

 use your whistle or if necessary holloa hounds away. 



Old Rallywood tops the wall a few yards over he chal- 

 lenges and the pack comes to his well known note and 

 the merry chase begins. Over a hill top you see the 

 flying fox his little figure silhouetted against the sky. He 

 has followed a wall for about half a mile, then turning 

 sharp to his right we see him disappear a mile or more 

 ahead. The pack flash past the point he has turned at 

 right angles. As they lose the scent they swing round 

 instinctively in a wide cast. Then they pick up the line; 

 the field charges at many points a four-foot stone wall. 



The hoiuids are racing now and for forty minutes it is 

 steeple-chasing across a fine lot of grass fields with easy 

 fences, across a river to the base of a steep hill which 

 has tried many a horse's mettle. Gradually the fox climbs 

 it but a quarter of the way he keeps along its side and 

 gradually descends again.
