expects it to take a personal
interest in him, and his fam
lily, should the occasion arise;
which I am happy to say it
does.
Now, I have hunted in a
good many countries" in
America, and nowhere that
I've ever been have I seen
evidence of such a strong feel
ing FOR the Hunt. There
may be parts of Pennsylvania,
or Maryland, or Virginia,
where this feeling exists, but
where organized hunting has
not been in existence for long,
or is an innovation, as in parts
of the middle-west and New
England, a great deal Of ex-
PLANTATION is necessary in order
to overcome the fee ling
AGAINST it, to say nothing
of attempting to engender a
loyalty for a sport which is
unlike anything their forbears
ever heard of.
There is room along these
lines for a great deal of mis-
Sionary work by the Master
and Hunt Secretary of any
newly-founded Hunt, and it
depends to great degree on
the tactfulness of these Off.
Gals, and also on all members,
who should stop at nothing
to make themselves popular
with the men who till the soil,
and who, after all, can make
or mar the sport.
Once the Hunt is given a
sound status-and it is pos.
sible, though like everything
that is worth while, it takes
time-let us see the essential
differences which must exist
owing to (a) the topography OF
the country to be hunted over,
and CD the nature of the
animal to be hunted.
Much of the country over
which one hunts in America
is not well suited for good
results in fox hunting. The
coverts are so large that it is
very difficult to force a fox
to leave a covert, where he
can remain in perfect safety
and play about in front of
hounds on anything but a
wonderfully good seeming day.
And even then, once a fox is
forced out he has only a short
distance to go before he can
find comparative safety in the
next covert.

be considered a minimum in al
most any country in England,
while so brace is not uncommon
and 80 by no means unknown.
Hounds that are continually
killing, "up to their ears in
blood" as we say over here,
are naturally keener, and kill
far more efficiently and regu-
larly than a pack which kills
so seldom that it hardly knows
what it is expected to do.
So much for the differences
that exist (some of them, at
least) in the two countries;
and, it is the existence of these
conditions that makes the dlt-
ference in methods Of hunting
somewhat different.
America is such a vast terri.
tory that it is well-nign impos-
sible to specialize, and one can
only deal in a very general way
with certain factors which are
common to all countries.
One of these is the difficulty
which one encounters almost
everywhere, owing to the lack
of foxes (already spoken OF,
and the poor, or at best, in
different seeming conditions.
These factors have produced a
type of hound (known to the
general public as an American
Hound") which is considered by
many people to be the only
sort of foxhound which can be
used to hunt the fox success
fully in America.
These hounds are hunted for
the most part by Americans in
the American way, which to an
orthodox En- gliSh huntSman
seems Slip-shod and without
method. The time-honored Il
think might say "time-worn")
subject Of a comparison of the
two breeds of hounds, and their
respective merits, is one into
which I cannot be lured, and I
will only go so far as to say to
anyone Of my readers, who may
be interested, that the two
methods may best be described
as follows: the American hunts
The Washington times., 1934-09-12
Status of Sport

To the average American
who reads British foxhunting
literature dealing with the
method of carrying on the
sport in England, books like
those two admirable ones writ
ten by Cecil Alden (Ratcatcher
to Scarlet, and, Scarlet to M.
F. HI many Of the express
SionS used, and incidents spok-
en- of, as examples, are almost
unrecognizable, because of the
great difference in the status
Il can find no other word of
foxhunting in the two coun-
tries.
That status" is the first
point of difference which I
am going to try to explain for,
until that is understood clear
~, nothing that I might say
could be taken at its true
value.
FoXhunting is the national
sport of Great Britain. I say this
without fear of contradiction,
even in these days when motor.
cars and airp1anes are taking
the place of other modes of
transportation.
VIII rever the Englishman
goes be it India, China, Aus
tralia, anyWhere-he has his
pack of hounds and his hunt
ing somehow. The early settlers
brought hounds to Virginia
our own foxhunting traditions
are BritiSh-as well as to
Canada, where the sport is car
ried on today very much as it is
In England. No matter what the
EngliShman is whether
1t be peaceful ABSORPTION of a
new country or whether it be
war-he has his hounds some
, how. Small wonder that it is
the national sport, and being
such, and being identified with
the community in which it has
its existence, it is easy to under.
stand why its status" is very
different from that which it has
in America. where in many
places it has come, to be re-
garded as a rich mans sport"
an entirely erroneous idea to be
sure, but none the less eXistant.
In England the entire COM
munity in which a Hunt estab-
1iShment has its home is to a
great degree dependent on the
Hunt for its livelihood. Here in
the little village of Cattistock,
in which I live, and in which
the Hunt kennels are situated,
nearly everyone is employed by
the Hunt. Eighteen men in the
stables and kennels alone, to
say nothing of the grooms and
chauffeurS of those members of
the Hunt who live near by.
The coal-dealer, the innkeeper
the blacksmith, the baker, the
butcher, the "candlestick-maker"
,Gf there is one) all depend on
the Hunt, and if the Hunt were
to cease, they would have to
start all over again.

toward AnglOmanla.
Forty years ago, when I
first started fox hunting, I read
all the literature which dealt
with it's history and methods
of pursuit that I could find,
and inasmuch as there were
practically no books, except
those written by Englishmen,
for Englishmen, it was perhaps
natural that my ideas and
ideals were those about which
I read, particularly as my first
teacher in the art of venery
was a professional English
huntSman.
Since 1910 a few-a very
few-books dealing with the
sport, as it is followed in
America, have been published;
and most of these give one
but a poor idea of how to
best enjoy a sport which has
few equals and no SuperiorS,
to my way of thinking.
What was true in my younger
days is equally true today, and
so it is perhaps not to be
wondered at that there is lit
tie realization by the English
man of the way the sport is
carried on in America.
The Washington times., 1934-09-12
Fox Differs

In some localities-in Penn
Sylvania and Maryland and
Virginia, for example-one
finds certain countries where
one can get as brilliant sport
as comes to ones luck in any
British country" but it is the
exception and not the rule.
The difference in the fox as
he exists in the two countries
is very great. I do not think
that I am exaggerating when
I say that for every fox one
finds in any of the American
countries" one finds 10 in
England.
I went out with the Cattis-
took hounds this morning and
saw with my own eyes no less
than II during the course of
the morning; and, this is a
fair example. From the time
hunting ceases in April to the
time cubhunting begins, in
August, everything is done for
the comfort of the British fox,
and even during the hunting
season he is safe from all dan
ger save from that which comes
from his pursuit by hounds.
This can hardly be said to be
true Of his American cousin.
In America. every mans
hand is against the fox; he is
considered "Vermin," and, in
most States, there is a bounty
on his head. To be sure this
Is not true in those States
where fox hunting had it's
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Maryland,
and Virginia, but, after all,
the United States cover a lot
OF territory, and 1 am trying
to make this article compre-
henSive one.
Added to these conditions I'm.
der which the American fox
lives Il might we'll say "exists")
it must be remembered that he
has to fend for himself. There
are no preserves full of fat rab-
bits, where he can always count
on finding a ready supper and
I am perfectly convinced that
this fact is one of the reasons
why American foxes are so
much more difficult to kill
than English ones. After all,
the average American pack kills
perhaps four or five brace a
year (many nothing like so
many, whereas 20 brace would
