ON HOLLOAING 361 



away, 1 ' or " Forward away," should be quite suffi- 

 cient, and the huntsman's or whipper-in's scream, 

 musical when given properly, but frequently 

 horrible from the lips of the amateur, is better left 

 unattempted. It is on record of a famous hunts- 

 man who had a most musical voice himself, that he 

 came across an individual who was giving utter- 

 ance to the most horrible yells, and he straightway 

 told him to desist or he should ride down his 

 throat. There is, however, a good reason for not 

 using the huntsman's scream. It is a signal to 

 hounds. They understand what the huntsman 

 wants them to do from the language he employs, 

 and any attempt people may make to imitate 

 his language only tends to confuse them. So, in 

 one word, as little holloaing as possible, an it 

 please you, my masters !
