BERGH ON FOX HUNTING.
Mr.. Henry Bersh has written to Mr..
Thomas F. Kinney, President Of the New
Jersey Society for Prevention Of Cruelty
to Animals, calling his attention to the in
diligence in fox hunting. He says:
This imprdent and aggressive relief to
Incidence is Of aristocratie lineage, and to
the feeble mind of the average London

cality in close proximity to what is termed
q "tap, OF, in American phraseology. a

sufficient air and liquid, starts for an open
field, followed by numerous pack Of
hounds, which locality, on. being reached,
terrified fox is liberated from box, and
the dogs horses and men seamper pell

the fox exsrsiing that cunning 70: which

route where his prrsusrs can co the most

consequence being that these noble "sperts-

devastation. Sufficient injury having
