! ent complexion on the matter in his ac-
, count OF elk-hunting, to which he re-
fers as being admittedly the best sport
known in Cevlon. The hills on which
tins fine quarry is pursued stand i've
thousand feet to seven thousand feet
above the sea level, and the district is
free from those risks Of fever and ,iys-
entery which are to be feared on the
iow-lying plains. 1t is conducted with
the aid of a rather heterogeneous pack
that would sadly scandalize any of the
great foresters of the Scotch High
lands, but which. nevertheless, con-
trlves to do its business in o mastelIv
style. The first of its component part;
includes four or five couple of Imported
fcxhounds. These are the animals
upon which dependence is pia ed for
the scent and for music" Then come
three couple OF hounds of mixed breed,
faster in pace than the true-bred fox
hound, and capable, wien the scent is
good, of bustling the quarry along at
q great speed. Lastly the are three
or four couple Of -seizers," including a
thoroughbred deerhound or two from
Scotland, q strong greyhound with
thick limbs, perhaps kaagaroohound
from Australia, and crosses of these
breeds with Mastiff and bloodhound.
After an elk has been found the run il
very fast, AID it is generally impossible
to keep near u, with the hounds.
Occasionally one of these is snapped
up by leopard lurking on tie hillside.
When at last the elk comes to bay, it is
generally in strengthening water
course, and the seize then rush in,
aided by the hunting men, whose only
weapon appears to be the knife, with
which the quarry is stabbed as he faces
his four-legged foes. The elk weighs
sometimes as much as twenty eight
stone clear. and is pleasant reward
for run which lasts usually two hours
