BEAGLES BE BANNED?
OLD STATUTE THAT FORBIDS HUNTING.
The Oxford branch of the League for the Prohibition Bf Cruel Sports | has discovered a University statute passed in 1838 prohibiting under graduates from taking part in any, hunting with hounde, and has sent petition to the Vice-Chancellor and Proctors to abolish the two bangle packs in the University.
The discovery of the statute has corne as bombshell to University hunting eircles. It reads:-
They shall abstain from every. kind of game or exercise as the result of which danger, injury or inconvenience may be used to others, such as from the hunting of wild beasts with dogs of any kind."
Beagles are the smallent variety of hounds, and the hunt is carried out on foot.

The prospect is more ebeerless now than for years past, and will remain so for some years to come, unless something, is done. The re:
ault is stagnation in a double sense. For few soldiers improve with in-- activity, capecially when they are in or nearing the sixties.
