ENGLISH Fox HUNTING ON TIE DECLINE

that the difficulties of fox hunting are on the
Increase We are constantly reading OF OBJ
staces TO sport raised by tenant farmers
Dead foxes are found with increasing trequen'
cy, under circumstances of the gravcst suspl-
eion. Methods Of fencing arc also resorted, to
which make hunting not only difficult but
exceedingly dangerous; the worst Of them be-
ing the use Of wire, invisible at distances too
smaIl to allow Of sackening speed. Complaints
on this score become more numerous every
year, and show that the free customs OF sports
men are no longer acquiesced in with the Tor
