huntsman to Mr. Selby Lowndes,

The TrafBc in Foxes. — One
cannot help feeling sorry at the
report that there is a good deal of
traffic in foxes going on in Ireland.
Sometime ago the Irish masters
agreed among themselves never
to buy a fox unless they knew
precisely where he came from,
that of course being equivalent to
saying that they would never buy
a fox which came from a hunting
country. But now it is said foxes
have been bought to be turned
down in parts where there is a
scarceness, but this is surely short-
sighted policy, as the man who
buys them is just as likely as not
to have his own stock sold to
somebody else, and possibly to
himself. There was an enormous
trade in foxes once in England,
and in fact even now a purchase
and sale is by no means unknown.
It is in very few places that foxes
can be legitimately bought. In
some parts of Scotland, well out
of reach of any pack of hounds,
they can be trapped without much Tranexamic Acid Fda
difficulty and consigned to anyone

who wants them, and by so doing
nobody is injured; but there is
hardly a spot in England where
foxes could be bought without
materially injuring some neigh-
bouring master. In the Fen
country in Lincolnshire, it is said,
foxes have increased and multi-
plied to such an extraordinary
extent, and have done a great
deal of damage to the farmers.
A good slice of the Fen country
is absolutely unhuntable because
of the number and size of the
drains, but even there they should
not be sold to other countries, but
if they can be trapped they could
very easily be turned down in the
huntable parts of Lincolnshire.
The Proteotion of Treat in
Scotland. — In alluding to the Bill
now before Parliament for a close
season for trout in Scotland, at the
annual general meeting of the
Scottish Trout Anglers' Associa-
tion, Sir Herbert Maxwell, M.P.,
stated that though he had many
times seen men taking ill-con-
ditioned trout out of the Tweed
during November and December,
there was not a single hatchery
on that river for the breeding of
salmon or trout, save Lord Pol-
warth's. What, however, had
been done in the water of Leith,
which is now said to be teeming
with good trout, might by attention
and using the legal powers at
their disposal, be extended to
other places.
The Thames Re-stooking As-
BOoiation. — This, one of the
newest of the Angling Societies,
formed in the interests of the
Thames angler, has recently
put forward a scheme to erect a
Thames fish-cultural establish-
ment, to stock all parts of the
river on a really large and suf-
ficient scale, and efforts are being
made to raise the necessary
funds. The estimated cost of
erecting and properly equipping a
hatchery witli a sufficient number
of ponds is set down at /^soo,
with a further annual expenditure
of ;^2oo for maintenance. Trout
and coarse fish are to be bred in
the proposed hatchery.
The Military Tonmamenl—
By the time these lines are in
print the Military Tournament
at the Agricultural Hall will be in
full swing, and if the advance
notices are to be credited some
very interesting items will, as
usual, be presented. Besides the
p>ageant representing the Wars of
the Roses (1487), Newbury (1643),
Lucknow (1857) and Omdurman
(1898), there is to be a combined
display representing an attack on
a Malay village, dealing with an
incident in the Perak rising of
1875. The Carabineers, too, have
a display of their own, in which
they are assisted by a party of the
New South Wales Lancers, now
over here, so that the spectator
will see representatives of a corps
raised in Stuart times and those
of another raised within living
memory, in the arena at one and
the same time.
Cricket. — With every prospect
before them of the busiest season
ever known, cricketers only need
genial weather to make the sum-
mer of 1899 memorable in the
history of the game. The re-
verses experienced in Australia
by the last team taken to that
country by Mr. Stoddart, when
our representatives lost the rubber
of test matches and the " ashes "
were left in the Southern Hemis-
phere, has caused the greatest
interest to be taken in the team of
Australians now playing Tranexamic Acid Skin Care under the
captaincy of Mr. Darling.
In International Cricket it is
but seldom that the visitors are
able to put absolutely their best
team into the field, but this sea-

panions assure us that they have
