The Sport of Our <J[ncestors 



animals by man. And of all field sports it can be claimed 

 that the pursuit of wild animals by packs of Hounds served 

 in the field by men mounted on horses is the most exhilarat- 

 ing, the most varied, and therefore the most attractive. In 

 France, whence came the Norman who probably taught us 

 English to love Sport for its own sake, they hunt with packs 

 of Hounds many different kinds of game. In England the 

 vast majority of packs hunt the Fox. Hunting the Fox, then, 

 is the Sport of our Ancestors. Long may it be preserved 

 for our posterity !
