that instead of retrieving the spear

one Of the major pastimes of thu
sportsmen; it has offered a new

Exponents of the hunt here
have been divided into two
classes. One headed by hound
master, Gus Otto, has pursued
the fox behind the hounds; the
other has found their quarry
by beating out the brush by
hand, taking their chance on q
quick shot. Perhaps the hounds
have triumphed morally, at any
rate, for that group Is credited
with freeing and capturing a
live one. But the other party
has q dead one to its credit.
