It is the duty of every man who rides hunting to take every opportunity of doing a service to the cause when he has it in his power, and that happens on many occasions which are frequently overlooked. When accidents happen to men or horses, or when a horse gets loose, men should not be slow in repaying those who assist, who, however, often get little more than a harsh word or two for being slow.

Sometimes a man runs hard to open a gate, or to give some informa- tion, etc. , for which he gets nothing — scarcely even thanks. The huntsman gets the information, but lie has not time to throw him a trifle ; and if any other person does so, the man is thankful for it, and thinks it quite correct to go to the pubhc-house and drink success to fox-hunting, most probably in the presence of some fox-taker, who shnks away. At all events, the more friends foxes have the better ; and often a civil word will gain one.
