Bookies attend, of course-and often there's a Tate tent, a band, refreshment stalla and some sort of Improvised "high society" enclosure.

But in reality, it is all just one big spreet Everyone is mixing. The course, for the horses, is a gruelling one of open landscape, It will be a round run of perhaps three to four miles across heavy flelds, where only yesterday bul- locks were grazing, across little brooks and tali hedges, up hill and down dale-and a straight rising bit home.

Folk who never put a foot on a racecourse in the ordinary way enjoy every minute of it, wet or fine.

crops are gathered in. Besides, the hedges will be twice their winter height when summer's growth sets in.

It is always a wonder to me how much the farming man does put up with from the galloping hooves of the Hunt. Compensation for poultry lost to the fox prowling before daybreak isn't the explana- tion. Of course, some leases stipu late the owner's right to hunt the land.

Perhaps is the sight of gay coats and baying hounds at the occasional meets at his farm gate. or outside the village Inn, which reconelle him to the damage of it all.

Some riders never will succeed in getting over a hedge properly. Or, if they happen to be last in the feld, will always forget to shut the gate behind them.

That is the kind of murmuring un grievance that Hunts have

'em.

But the Hunt against Farmers' Dinner and the Cross Country Race Meeting wipe out a lot of the grumbling and grousing.

ESIDES, badly riddan horses are not the only cause of weak places in

a hedge, or of gates left open. There are among the week-end ramblers from towns some who give as much Bunday bother as anybody.
