Related article: This is the social aspect of the sport of shooting. It teaches good discipline, patience, steadi- ness and temper. Take duck- shooting, or Rhinocort 32 Mcg punling for duck — where can you find a greater trial of nerve, pluck and patience, than this sport ? 1 have met men accustomed to tiger shooting, to elephant slaying, to stalking of every sort and kind, to salmon Rhinocort Turbuhaler fishing, and to all sports and most of the excitements of the world, admit that, during the few minutes previous to drawing within shot of a vast assembly of wild fowl, with a big swivel gun cocked and ready before them as 193 BAILY S MAGAZINE. [March they lay prone in the punt, their hearts beat louder than ever they did before. At such a moment an intense anxiety takes posses- sion of the merest novice, lest the birds should fly off before he Rhinocort Generic Name can obtain a shot. He notes every suspicious occurrence, from the warning movements of Rhinocort Aqua Coupon the sentinel birds Rhinocort Aq to the rising of the heads of the entire company before springing aloft. He sees geese, duck, widgeon and teal, with many other birds, as he never could see them before. He perhaps experiences the fact Rhinocort Aqua Nasal that " there is many a slip between the cup and the lip " in fowling. The tide may meet him as he turns a corner, or a shot a long distance off come echoing over the waste ooze, and alarm the fowl as though fired purposely to do so. The wind may change or the birds see his anxious attempts to get on closer terms with them. A score of various and provoking incidents may happen to Rhinocort Aqua Generic prevent his Rhinocort Vs Flonase getting a shot, however well he may have earned it, or how- ever careful his judgment and actions have been. Now what does this branch of sport mean ? Why, the Rhinocort Coupon man who undertakes it must be a hard 'un, full of re- sources, pluck, and Rhinocort Aqueous Nasal Spray knowledge of the haunts and habits of the water-fowl he seeks ; he must have a splendid good temper, and be able with a bright smile to contemplate failure in the proper spirit, or he had better stay at home. There are very many people who write down sport as cruel, and no doubt in an unsportsman- like method of pursuing and killing game and animals, there is an unnecessary degree of pain caused through culpable igno- rance. But a true sportsman is seldom guilty of undue careless- ness ; a good shot kills, but does not wound ; a bad shot, or a careless one, is the unsportsman- like act that wants calling over the coals. Take Her Majesty's staghounds and their quarry. People have for years been writ- Buy Rhinocort Aqua ing this grand sport down as cruel ; why, the stags which are uncarted are some of them friends of the hounds who hunt them, and at times have been known to jump Rhinocort Aqua Nasal Spray Coupons enclosures to go to the hounds. The stag enjoys its gallop and when taken, it is carefully tended : it is very sel- Rhinocort Hayfever dom, as those people think who have never seen this hunt, har- ried by the hounds. Sport in its true sense teaches kindness much more than cruelty. Consider the harm that would be caused by doing away with Her Majesty's stag hunt and hounds; think of the large number of men who from boyhood have been brought up to earn their living at the kennels and stables, and who, if sent adrift into the unkind and selfish world to Rhinocort Aqueous seek a new livelihood for themselves and families, what cruelty would be the result ; for these men would be brought down to a much Generic Rhinocort Aqua lower social status than their studied abilities should warrant. No ! there are many so called sports which Rhinocort Generic tend towards Rhinocort Aqua Nasal Spray a downward path, which might well be suppressed, and are to-day allowed full swing ; but to agitate against true sport or true sporting instincts would be as great a mistake to this nation as could well be conceived. The Duke of Wellington, amongst his many lieutenants, was proudest of the hard riding ones, and often stated that they made the pluckiest and most reliable officers — thus show- ing that the good education of the field and true sport will always, even in late life, lend to noble characters more nobility. i»99] ATTRACTIONS AND ADVANTAGES OF SPORT. 199 The scientific aspect of sport is also a grand study. Look at deer-stalking — sorry is the novice at this sport if he thinks he is going to take a rifle and get a shot at a forest stag without several years of apprenticeship. He must study the haunts and habits of his game, learn the meaning of moorland, hill and dale signs, understand the true meaning of endurance, often be able to withstand hunger and cold, learn to know every fluctu- ating breath of the wind and its direction over or under hill or mountain side, how best to ap- proach his stags, and how to select the proper one to shoot. All Generic Rhinocort these things are essential, and are only learnt by a man possessing a proper sense of true sport. Thus, you see, sport genuinely carried out promotes truthfulness among other virtues. There is no more unreliable mortal than a gamekeeper Rhinocort Aqueous 64 or water bailiff who cannot tell the truth ; he is a plague to his employer and the whole neighbourhood, continually getting himself and his master into hot water through his care- lessness in statements, and often- times perjuring himself in the attempt to appear faithful to the interests in his charge. This sort of servant is not worth his salt, neither is he ever a true sports- man. The two great heroes, Aristides and Simon Focious, were both sportsmen, and were so scrupulous in all matters relating to truth that to believe they would not tell a falsehood even in jest. We are bound to speak truth to our neighbours, speech having been given us for no other purpose. This reminds me of a very par- ticular, reliable and conscientious head gamekeeper, who was a born true sportsman and truthful. On his master's estate the death had occurred of one of the under- keepers, who was shot by a poacher. The head keeper was there in the Rhinocort Aqua Price fight, and when the prisoner was being tried for
