THE RIBBLESDALE STAGHOUNDS

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

IN spite of very keen opposition on the part of some of the tenant farmers and landowners in the wild country on the borders of Lancashire and Yorkshire (a territory not hunted by foxhounds, by the way), Lord Ribblesdale and Mr. Peter Ormrod have succeeded in getting together an especially good pack of thirty couples of black and tan Kerry beagles, and capital sport is being shown. The opposition, which was strenuous while it lasted, was not unnatural, for while humanitarians were under a misapprehension about the deer which it was intended to hunt-- thinking the deer were carted-- the farmers objected to the publicity which was given to the establishment of the hunt, thinking that the country would be overridden, their fences broken down, and, in addition, the deer driven from the moorlands to the valley of the Ribble, damage thus being done to their crops.
