HUNTING 'TOO DEAR
Tho sale of the famous pack of hounds of Lieutenant-Colonel Selby-Lowndes coincides with a crisis in the hunting field (says the “Daily Mail”). Prices are so high that a number of packs are in danger of being given up. Subscriptions are being raised in the cheaper packs to more than U 320 a year; and in addition to this, the “poultry funds” are not nearly equal to the. demand. Foxes arc very numerous and hungry, and the value of fowls is so high that compeneation reaches an alarming figure. Great numbers of old subscribers who do not hunt themselves begin to feel that they cannot anv longer pay so highly for the sake of other people. A Teal crisis has been reached, which is enhanced in some of the more famous shires by the absence >of t.ho foreigners who used to ,come over for the hunting season. It is hoped to weather the financial storm, as fields nro largo and the hunts as popular as of old: hut in mnnv places a serious deficit, which cannot be faced again, has to bo made good.
