IRISH FOX HUNTERS.
Their Horses Are Said to Be Wonders
For Endurance

For Endurance.
FOX hunting has thrived for centu
rles In Ireland" said n Belfast man
1T Is the great sport among those who
can afford 1t. and 1t hardly becomes a
gentleman In our country not to have
ridden to the hounds and been in al
the death ut some time.
To follow the dogs on their hunt
for the willy reynard is not childs play
1t brings Into play the most cousum
mate skill as II rider, for one has to be
able to stick to his horse through al
kinds of going. Some of the fences
are high. the jump being much more
severe than those In the hunts In this
country. but our horses are up to It.
There Is no nncr horse in the world
than the Irish hunter. In fact, men
who incline to the thoroughbred and
the standard bred horse give us credit
for having produced II wonderful
equine. He can run and jump and
pack great load. and his endurance
Is beyond that OF any other breed.
1.-THE supply of foxes seems to hold
out all right. There are plenty of them
In Ireland. Among the peasants there
Is n superstition that the fox knows
his end and rather enjoys 1t, for he
likes to be hunted and to double OIL his
tracks and watch his pursuers 60 by"
