SCOTCH DRIVING 171 



spoilt the sport. Where labour is scarce and drivers 

 difficult to get, it becomes the more necessary to train 

 the few you have to intelligent driving. It is wonder- 

 ful what can be done with a small number by taking 

 shorter drives, and teaching the men to cross about 

 that is, while keeping their relative positions in the 

 line, to zigzag so as not to miss the likely bits of hold- 

 ing cover. 



To sum up, I commend the study of driving to 

 those who rent or own Scotch shootings, feeling sure 

 that if by any of the means I have tried to indicate 

 they can infuse a keenness for it into the people they 

 have to deal with, commanded and directed by superior 

 practical knowledge, they will be much gratified if not 

 astonished by the result.
