A Master eager to improve conditions in his 

 country should strengthen his Hunt Committee and 

 keep it as personally interested as possible in order 

 that when the necessity arises the members may be

 thereon. The map should be divided into sections 

 and so far as possible definite days selected for 

 hunting the several sections. For example, let the 

 westerly section be hunted on a Monday, the easterly 

 section on a Wednesday and so on so that after a 

 while the one-day-a-week man, if he lives in a Mon- 

 day country, may make his arrangements accord- 

 ingly and keep his Mondays open for sport. 



Interested individuals should be appointed to 

 act in each section to protect the interests of the 

 Hunt in every way, keeping the Master informed of 

 conditions in their section and holding themselves 

 liable to call from him to see that necessary things 

 are done from time to time.

A Master of Foxhounds should proceed in the 

 following order of precedence to 



1st. Make the hunting as popular as possible 

 with all in his community.

3d. Have a plentiful supply of foxes. 



4th. Improve the pack in ability and appear- 

 ance. 



Finally indulge in the luxuries of perfect horses 

 and perfect equipment for his hunt staff.

 Whate'er is best administered, is best."
