RIVAL HUNTS
AMAZING SCENES. DESTRUCTION OF FOXES. (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received December 29, 9 a.m. LONDON, Dec. 28. Amazing scenes were witnessed in Surrey, when 70 farm labourers and small holders, objecting to foxes’ depredation in the farmyards, formed a working men’s hunt. Armed with guns and horse whips, and accompanied by mongrel dogs, they started to search for foxes. Meanwhile the Surrey Hunt began its. Boxing Day fixture. When hounds huntsmen and the aristocratic followers were in full cry following a fox both hunts collided, resulting in wordy warfare and complaints that each was spoiling the other’s sport. The working men’s hunt had six meets. They shot 11 foxes. The Surrey Hunt resents the wholesale destruction of Reynard.—Sydney Sun cable.
