Excerpt from Cross Country With Horse and Hound The author makes no attempt to set up a code for officers of the hunt. He states the conditions and moves of the game from a member's and not from an Ofiicial's standpoint. He has never occupied any position in the hunt except that Of a modest riding member who dearly loved the sport, especially the hunting part Of it. His ambition has been to keep in sight of the hounds, and he is quite contented to let the racing men and jealous riders share all the honours they can extract from the satisfaction Of being called first flight men. A more important claim is that he has had considerable experience in breed ing, rearing, and schooling hunters that have been for the most part a credit to the system adopted in their training, and has been fortunate in bringing to this work quite ex tensive Observations of many different packs of hounds in European countries, as well as in the United States and Can ada. His chief aim is to encourage this most noble sport for sport's sake, to contrast the genuine sportsman with the artificial, and to pay to that noblest Of animals, the horse.
