' I spoke just now of the services rendered to the Queen's field for many years past by the Great Western Railway. ' Hunting, ' I remember Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild saying to me some years ago, in days when, if hounds really ran over a gentlemanlike country, he would go like a swallow, 'is a charming amusement, but a detestable occupation. ' At the risk of a charge of heresy and schism I entirely agree. But if this be true of fox-hunting, it is trebly true of stag-hunting. Stag-hunting is e...ssentially the professional or busy man's playground. The stag-hunter should have other occupations or interests sufficient to make his day with the stag a treat and the loss of it a disappointment. For this reason London is the best, and indeed the only, place to hunt the stag from. In ' The Noble Science ' Mr. Delme Radcliffe investigated the effect which railways would be likely to have upon the breed of horses and upon fox- hunting. He predicts that they will become ' the most oppres- sive monopoly ever inflicted on a free country.
