ENGLISH SPORTING ETHICS.

An European correspondent for sew
eral American newspapers feels very
keenly the failure Of some American
sportsmen TO live up to the jolly old
traditions OF English sport Charging
their oifense either TO ignorance of the
rules of craftsmanship or ineXperi
cnce In the hunting field. he takes oc-
caslon to warn them In this wise:
Americans visiting England snould
be exceedingly charv about accepting
invitations to shooting parties. For
nowhere, not even in the hunting
field. is the etiquette so strict and so
elaborate as at a battue. which is the
usual method adopted of dealing with
game at all great shooting parties cs-
pecially those where partridges and
pheasants are concerned.
ANY violation OF the ethics entails
as much disfavor and ill-wll on the
part of ones host and of the other
members of the mousse party as a
breach OF the most elementary rules
OF good manners, and is enough to
give the stranger a social black eye,
The offenses Of the American Invited
TO shooting parties in England are in
deed most serious Sometimes he neg
lects to wear feather in his hat. He
has even been known to appear at the
shooting grounds In a sombrero and
soft shirt, when everybody in England
knows that If one doesn't wear a high
collar and an ascot tie he can't siloot
correctly. Then, there are also such
things as sitting still and letting the
bird come up and cock his eve into
your gun barrel before you blow his
head OFF II some otoer fellows bird
comes your way you must let hlmyeo
for 1t would be bad form TO bring him
down and thus imply by the accuracy
of your aim that your friend was a bad
shot These are bits Of sporting ethics
which 1t Is well not to transgress when
hunting In England, for what one re.
ally does, you know, when he goes ont
with his gun is TO display his new
shooting clothes and his manners to
the best advantage.
The English hunt birds in a slightly
different manner from that to which
every American lover of the omen fields
and the woods Is accustomed When
one is invited to shoot he takes mis-
clothes and his gun and his man.
servant and goes out TO his battue or
station toward which the beaters
are expected to drive the covevs of
plump phcasants. This batue is a
sort of blind behind which the
