along and see the sport. We started
out with two grey hounds and first
class mongrel and had gone but a
short distance when we flushed one Of
| the long cared beauties. The hunters
yelled 'yip zip" and the fun COM
| menced, but it was evident from the
start that to make the race even the
| dogs needed five legs or the rabbit
should have but three. After leading
the hounds merry race for some
time he told them he had business at
home that needed his attention and
must part company with them so
lighting out for his borough about a
| miie distant. He reached 1t in safety
| with the mongrel out of the race and
the hounds safe distance in the rear.
