Amazing scenes have taken place in Surrey. Seventy farm labourers and small holders, objecting to the depredations of foxes in farmyards, formed a working men's hunt. Armed with guns and horse-whip's, arid accompanied by mongrel dogs, they started to search for foxes. • Meanwhile the Surrey Hunt began its Boxing Day fixture. . :
When hounds, huntsmen, and'aristocratic followers were in full cry following a fox, both hunts collided, resulting in a wordy warfare. There were complaints that each" hunt was spoiling the other's sport. The working-men's hunt had six meets, and shot eleven foxes.
The Surrey Hunt reseuts the whole sale destruction of Reynard.
