Related article: the style that is used for the fashionable countries is quite peculiar, and worth some passing notice. It is to be found under such headings as " Leaves from a Midland Diary," '« A Week in shire with Stag and Fox," •* Hunting Notes," &c. The chief object of Cheap Methotrexate many^ of the writers seems to be to mystify their readers. After getting to the end of one of these articles, I have often wondered whether I have been readiqg about good sport or bad sport, and I have sometimes even been in doubt, but, of course this was owing to Methotrexate Dosage my own stu- pidity, what sort of sport the writer has been describing. Not much trouble is taken with the names of coverts or places which have been passed during a run, the hounds often are scarcely mentioned, the fox sometimes only in ambiguous terms, a good deal of space is devoted to the performances of the field, and many apologies are tendered for mentioning several persons, espe- cially ladies by name, the writer swearing that it is positively the first and the last time such Methotrexate And an offence has been or will be com- mitted by him ; the time up to Methotrexate 25 Mg the first check if the pace is good is recorded to a second, but if after that check the run continues for another half hour or so at a slower pace, little or no notice is taken of it, the correspondent merely remarking that after the first seven minutes and thirty-four seconds **the cream of the thing'* was over. When he wishes to be extremely laudatory he calls a run a great and a good run (whatever that may mean), and manages to convey the impression to his readers that he was distinctly in it, or would have been if his horse had stood up. These articles are usually extended to some con- .siderable length, because many matters are introduced full of in- terest no doubt, but which have about as much to do with hunting as they have with bear baiting, or any other sport. I said above, that when any of the field was mentioned by name, an apology was tendered for so doing, but I notice that lately this latter practice has been almost entirely given up, Purchase Methotrexate and Dose Methotrexate names are scattered broadcast in these accounts. Some of the cor- respondents, too, are getting quite familiar, and talk of Mr. Thomas Jones or Mr. John Smith not as Mr. T. Jones or Mr. J. Smith, but as Mr. ** Tommy " Jones and Mr. "Johnny" Smith, while even ladies appear under such Buy Methotrexate Online titles as Mrs. "Reggie" Brown or Mrs. *' Dicky " Robinson. Then, besides these regular contributors to the sporting papers, there are the local writers who send occasional Hunting Notes Purchase Methotrexate Online to the local papers, or perhaps to some daily paper. Their style, as a rule, is quite different to that of the regular brigade, and perhaps some of the best examples of it hail from north of the Tweed. Take, for Dosage Of Methotrexate instance, the follow- ing accounts which actually ap- peared in a well-known Scotch 242 BAILY S MAGAZINE. [Al'RLI- newspaper, and are by no manner of means unique. I have merely altered the names of the places, &c. " There was a big field out on Saturday with the Fox- hounds. Liston Dose Of Methotrexate surrendered a fit fox, and the hounds forced him at a merry pace over the White Rock, but he was headed. The hounds, which behaved gal- lantly, got a view of the flying fugitive, and ran him at a ranti- paling (?) pace back to the Whins, where after dusting him round they lost the quarry. The master and field Methotrexate Online then found at Buy Cheap Methotrexate Sorbichill, • and a long-winded candidate gave the field a grand run to the hills, and after a spanking ditour, a slight halt ensued. The game quarry, however, put his nose to the Price Of Methotrexate hill, which it climbed, and shot over the heights to South Glen, and creeping round a farm mustered courage, and gallantly swept onwards over the splendid hunting ground. Order Methotrexate Online He was in no mood to' die, and with strong courage, which the field relished, he kept on till scent seemed to baffle the brave hounds, and it was thought reynard was en- sconced in a Dosage Methotrexate building. Every horseman rejoiced at the grand victgry, especially as she was supposed to Methotrexate Methotrexate be a vixen. A fox then met the pack, and was forced from covert, and after a rasping run, the vulp retraced his steps to his native haunts, and as the shades of evening were fading fast, the horn call ended a splendid day's sport." Here is an account of another day's sport. " The entry has been strengthened by the intro- duction of a number of young hounds which Methotrexate Dose have been over the hunting grounds in the county. Cubhunting has been engaged in for five weeks, and a number of the young fry have fallen to the pack. The sport on Tuesday was poor, the Braes was the first covert which gave a whimper, but the specimens evicted were unworthy of the pack." And so on. Later on in this account the writer says : ** Another attempt was made to find a fox, but pug was too safely ensconced to snift the frost," whatever that may mean. I suppose there is no sport in which people indulge for a greater variety of reasons than fox- hunting ; but perhaps the reason that induces more people to hunt than any other is the certainty that they will be able to enjoy a thorough good grumble. There are few occupations so pleasant or so popular as grumbling, and out hunting there is such wide scope for it. Either the country is beastly, or the wire on the in- crease, or the Master is un- punctual, or the hounds are taken home too early, or the wrong coverts are drawn, or the right ones are drawn the wrong way, or th*e foxes are too plentiful, or sometimes even too scarce, or the meets are at the wrong places, and at the wrong time, or a hundred other things. And if there is absolutely nothing else left, about which to grumble, of course there is always the hunts- man to fall back on Methotrexate Price who, what- ever he does, is naturally in the wrong ; in fact, if he was not, he would not be a huntsman. The people who abuse the country most are divided as a rule into two classes, those who
