146 DISCRETION INDISPENSABLE. 



You say, you cannot see how a huntsman of 

 genius can spoil your sport, or hurt your 

 hounds. I will tell you how. By too much 

 foul play he frequently will catch a fox before 

 he is half tired ; and, by lifting his hounds too 

 much, he will teach them to shuffle. An im- 

 proper use of the one may spoil your sport : 

 too frequent use of the other must hurt your 

 hounds.
