Old Hunters Dictum.
Il Mr.. sneed, OF SBoydton, 4 than whom no
better FOX hunter lives to-day, SO Judge
Aiken, of Danville, says, gave out the
following dictum to d group OF disap-
pointed esportsmen this afternoon: 3 a5S NJ
1T isn't good to kill a fox every time
you go out. That kind OF thing would
make fox hunting cheap. & We could
get Everything we want all "a the time,
we couldn't ever get any thing tha t Is
worth nting. ~ S# i49 si$ 5.5li }43
That's Just the idea that prevails among
these honest old fashion rtsnlen who
the same good old fashion manner that
obtained I'm the days of their grand fathers
and their grandfathers before him.
" 1t is the real fox hunting without show,
sham or pretense-a desire for sport With
out the nurdcrous desire for killing. 1T
10 an old saying that an Eng ishman when
seeking pleasure is wont to say: q,
let's 60 out and Kill something. e 5aES
This is not the idea that prevails among
these good old fashion people for the
great and only desire of If for them is to
ride in the open astride9 of anything that
happens to be obtainnble watching their.
own hounds work and rejocing in:athe
soul-stirring melody OF the pack In full
cry. 448

There isn't sucl, a stlli9g a pink
coat iii this FOX hunting community, and
doubtless no one of2these honest gentle
men have ever worn top boots or ~ vel-
yet hunt ting cap. Nc such thing as club
scolors, club buttons r. or II phernalia
