NDER this title I include all that IB generally tenned hunting; all, in a word, that is executed with the ; rifle instead of the shot-gun, witli the Horse or the Hound, instead of the Setter or the Spaniel. Hunt- ing, in its true acceptation, with 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, up and hunted in perfect English style, at Mon- treal, supported principally hy 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 Southern State < keep packs of Hounds for the pursuit both of the Deer and the Bear, and, when the ground is practicable, ride to them well antl daringly, but the woody nature of the coiuitry, and the unwillingness of the game to break covert and take to the open, render it nearly impossible to keep near the Hounds; the principal utility of which, is to drive the animal across the stand of the ambushed hunter, and allow him to do execution on it witli his trusty rille, or his full charge of buck-shot. In old times a pack of Foxhounds was kept at Elizabeth- I ''.
