Medbury
Says
By John p. Medbury.


IA popular with our million.
a - aires is to go out every
morning before breakfast on a
fox hunt. This gives everybody
lots of thrills, especially the fox.
The hunters usually wear bright
red coats and this shows that
they're brave men, because some
farmer b liable to shoot them,
thinking that they're British sol.
diers.
The men generally go out on.
horseback, but the dogs generally
run along on foot.
A hound tracks the fox By
scent, but once In while the fox
is wise and fools the dog by TAX
ing a bath.
Nine out Of ten the dogs cap.
ture him, but If a hunter Ia
real sport he'll present the fox
with a pair Of roller skates.
These hunts are sometimes
staged when they haven't even
got . fox, but, Of course, the
hunters don't tell this to the
dogs.
A sportsman very seldom takes
his hound into his confidence.
A f0x-hOund is like Q Ford: II
often runs for no reason at an.
And as for the horse, he's like
a married man and goes where
he's told.
Once In . while they have re-.
hcarsals Of these hunts, and this
Is very trying on the fox. He
doesn't know whether they're in
earnest or just pract5cing.
In most cases the fox wants to
be captured. He's so fatigued from
running that he's ticlkIed to death
to have q chance to ride back
in the dogs teeth.
OF course the dogs grab him
by the neck. But he'd rather
have . sore throat than tired
feet.
It's against the ethics Of the
game, however, for a hound to
bite the fox to death, but there
might be some new dogs in the
hunt which haven't read the
rules.
This ID very umspOrtsmanlilxe
for the dog and very uncomfOrt-
able for the fox.
The hunters ought to take the
dogs and the fox into the club
house before the hunt and read
them q couple OF chapters from
the book Of etiquette.
+ In playing with miIIiOnaires, it's
very embarrassing for either Of
them to make q social error.
After the chase is over the
hunters so home and have their
breakfast, but the only bite the
fox gets is from the dogs.
This sport IL for the rich ex-
clusiveIy, and the only thing that
poor people can hunt for is work.
