COMPARISON WITH PAST.
Speaking at (he show of tho West Somerset Foxhounds and Quanlock Staghounds at. Bishop's Lydeard, near Minehead. lately, Sir Denis Boles, master of both packs, defended hunting against its critics.
Somn people. Sir Denis stated, might say there was too much hunting, but conditions wore very different from what they wero twenty to thirty years ago. Formerly shooting men were content to shoot twenty or thirty pheasants a day; but now they desired to kill three or four hundred a day. It was the same with hunting. Men were not content to stay at homo in winter to hunt two or three days weekly. They had to live with the times, and the more they hunted the better it was for the country as a whole.
