HARE-SHOOTING BY HEADLAMPS
TO THE EDITOE OF THK I'ItESS. Sir, —I was amazed to read in the General News column of "The Press" about our sporting Minister for Public Works shooting hares picked up in the head-lights of a moving motorcar. I see here no claim to the title of sportsman. It reminds me of the time when I was travelling with a so-called sportsman who endeavoured to run down a hare at night on a main highway. Just when he thought he had overtaken the bewildered wretch, it leapt into the air and went clean through his windscreen. I would just like to add that in that case I had the pleasure of telling his friends it served him right.—Yours, etc.. A.J.B. January 13, 1937.
