Hunt- ing, in its trae accejitation, witli packs of trained Hounds, followed in view, by mounted hunters, can hardly be said to exist in North America, although there is "one regular pack of Fox- hounds, kept up and hunted in perfect English style, at Mon- treal, supported principally by officers of the garrison. It is well managed during the short season, and has often shown great sport and fine runs. Many gentlemen in the Soutlieru States keep packs of Hounds for the pursuit both of the Deor and the Bear, and, when the ground is practicable, ride to thorn well and daiingly, but the woody nature of the country, niul the unwillingness of the game to break covert and take to tiio open, render it nearly impossible to keep near the Hounds; ri u principal utility of which, is to drive the animal across the stuud of the ambushed hunter, and allow him to do execution o), k with his trusty rifle, or his full charge of buck-shot. In old times a pack of Foxhounds was kept at Elizabeth'.
