viii PREFACE 



write. We have hunted long enough to see two 

 different systems in the field — the old style in less 

 hurried times, and the modern system at greater 

 speed and higher tension — but can truly say that 

 the best of sport has been enjoyed with each. Fox- 

 hunting has made country life what it is, and keeps 

 it as it is : long may " Good Sport " flourish in 

 the land !
