alone, the holloa, 'Tallyho" may be given several 

 times until the attention of the staff is called, but 

 then only in case there is no danger of turning the 

 fox. In every possible instance it is better to call 

 attention to the whereabout of the fox with as little 

 noise as possible, such as by waving the arm, or by 

 raising the hat on one's crop, pointing meanwhile 

 in the direction the fox has taken. 



Hunting people when crossing fields or on the 

 road in remote country districts should always 

 salute anyone they may meet with a pleasant word or 

 bow. Should he come to an open gate and there is 

 no one else in sight behind him, he must always shut 

 it. Should someone be following, the cry "Gate, 

 please" should be passed back. It is his business 

 who wishes to hunt in the future to see that fence 

 damage done by himself or others is repaired or 

 carefully reported to the Master as soon as prac- 

 ticable. 



Every man or woman who has the slightest in- 

 terest in the local hounds should consider it his own 

 particular business and sacred duty toward the sport 

 to help build up hunting by generously supporting 

 the Hunt organization and attempting by word and 

 deed to smooth its none too easy path. 



Do not criticise harshly or unjustly. 



Gossip not at all. 



In nuce. 

 Hunting people should remember: 



1st. That the task of the Master of Foxhounds 

 is no easy one, and that it is as absolutely impossible 

 to find a perfect Master of Hounds, as it is to find a 

 perfect man or perfect woman. 



2d. That the responsibilities of the Master and 

 field to the community and to the welfare of the 

 sport are great.
