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.

ATTRACTIONS AND ADVANTAGES OF SPORT.

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
