GENERAL REMARKS. 



By the above method of training, the dog is fit to run as far as 

 any ordinary hare will last before him before he is tired. 

 If less work is given the hare often leaves her pursuer at the end 

 of a mile, and the three go into covert at long intervals, or, as 

 the trainers say, one, two, three. If the reader will only consider 

 that the hare rarely has any fast work, and yet is always in 

 training, he will see that it is because she is never confined all 

 the year round. Hence he should remember that if he will 

 follow the same plan, and never let the regular exercise of his 

 dogs be neglected, there will be little necessity for anything but 

 prolonged walking exercise, and all chance of over-marking will 

 be avoided. When, however, this is not attended to, the training 

 must be carried out to the extent I have advised; because fat has 

 accumulated about the internal organs, and it cannot be got 

 rid of by any means short of those I have described.
