16 THE SPORT OF KINGS 



hunting of the last century comes to be reviewed, 

 there is every prospect of as brilliant a record as 

 that which has just been glanced at briefly. Other 

 times, other manners, but so long as the old spirit 

 remains, the old sport will survive in spite of its 

 enemies, and the day will never come, 



When the gorse is uprooted 

 The foxhound is dumb.
